Hi guys,
I have done a search, and couldn't find any answer to this so I thought I'd ask here. :)
These windows on the front of the Disneyland Hotel are different to the others. Anyone know why?

:lol: Oh yeah! Never noticed! But if you look closer there are more windows to the right and up that are different from the others. I have a photo that show some to the left. And my photo is from August 2006. So they've been there a while... Hmmm!

I have also recognized these different windows during our last trip.
Maybe the windows have broken and the old windows aren't produced anymore and so they had to use others.
That seems silly. Every Joe Schmoe can get such windows made to fit, so surely Euro Disney, a company that has fake mountains made, can get an old-timey window that resembles the old one. It must be just a sloppy renovation.
Just thought I'd update this.
Now, only one of the original windows remains. The others are of the new style. :?

Thats a shame, I prefer the old style, but if they're breaking the cost would be higher for them.
Could be related to changes in legislation on emergency escape out of windows - in the UK, you have to be able to get out of them in the event of an emergency.
As Donald would say, ah phoey !!! I'll be King Louie's Uncle before I update the drawing I did.

If that's the reason, why didn't Disney change all four windows?
Love your picture Petes Dragon :D
If you are not stopping here can you still go inside to have a look around? We are going for Christmas & would love to take some pics of the christmas decorations.
Could it be possible they're switching from wooden window casements to plastic ones? That seems to be popular. But even so, those plastic things do come in the old style:

There's just no need for this.

yeh you would be able to go in the hotel to look round but not in the rooms
Whilst watching "The Grand Opening of Euro Disney", I spottted something!

Look at the window's! They were of the "New Style"
Which means that the old "criss-cross" style was actually installed afterwards, and now are being put back to how they were originally... :?

I enjoy having no life :-"
Back on topic now... that picture above was from "The Grand Opening of Euro Disney" which was filmed a few days before the parks opening... but this picture taken on April 11th (1992) shows the other style of window :?
strange...

I think Dan Brown could write a book about this.
Perhaps there's an interesting tale to tell over the Disneyland Hotel Window which would mysteriously change style over night from day to day!

I'm reading too much into this aren't I! :D
Probably, but a little imagination has never hurt anyone. :)

:lol: The next best seller!! The Disney Code! Its OK guys I'll accept the female lead role in the film and help Tom Hanks solve the mystery! :roll: :lol:
This thread is exactly why my hubby thinks we're all a bunch of spotters! :lol:

I agree, it's so intricate, well done! :D
hehe the urge to write a sherlock holmes fan fiction based aorund this is killing me, but i cant seem to be able to come up with a feasable plot line, basicaly.... i have an opening and thats about it... XD
I know im quite sad, and I know it will have no bearing on my life, and I know that I will forget it when I move away from the pc, but......
I really want/need to know whats going on with the windows! haha :D
I think I have an idea about that. On my last visit I noticed that every window on that front part open in the same way even if they are "old" or "new", so I started thinking about the windows my uncle have on his house where the criss crossing middle part that makes the windows look old actually can be taken off the window to be painted. They are just sitting on top of the glass like decoration. This might be the case here, no windows changed, just the way they look.
Er...thanks guys. Now we'll have to look next time we go. But can someone check the other hotels as this could be catching!!!!! :lol:

I thought the same as you. Maybe the criss crossy bit has just been taken off to clean the windows and the photos just capture different windows being cleaned?
I can't think of any other explanation to be honest. I can't see Health and Safety legislation being that different in 1992 to what it is now and there's no way Disney couldn't have those windows made specifically.
