Hotel Disneyland

Posted by eyore , 15 September 2011 · 812 views

The Hotel Disneyland is the showpiece of the hotels at Disneyland Paris.
The lobby has a magnificent staircase to the first floor (everyone takes a photo doing the grand entrance, you can't resist it)  Posted Image
The standard rooms are slightly larger and have a table! There are also two wash basins in the bathroom.
Breakfast is a running buffet (nice too) and Disney characters are found waiting for you outside the restaurant (with a photographer). They are usually main characters with a few lesser ones floating around. A nice start to the day.
The air in the hotel is scented with "Disneyland Bouquet" - available from reception as sachets (for wardrobe use) or a spray bottle for rooms. It is rather expensive (13Euro for 2 impregnated cards or around 70Euro for the spray). I bought both  Posted Image
The Hotel lobby (and, at one time, the toilets in the rooms - complete with volume control next to the toilet roll - but they got switched off) plays a loop directly from the CD "The Disney Collection Volume 1" - the 1991 issue.

Maybe a little disappointing for such a setting.
This CD has played there for the last 4 years to my knowledge but, being a CD, there is always the possibility that they change it on occasions (I suspect at Christmas, for instance)or even from month to month or season to season.
DavidG reports that, during the Christmas Season, the Hotel plays the Main Street USA Christmas loop for which we give our thanks. Please see the entry under Main Street USA Christmas loop for the track listing and source CDs.

Note This is the 1991 release of this album. The collection has been re-issued on later dates with different tracks. It was released in the UK in 1998.




Right, I should have mentioned that during Christmas season they play the Main Street Xmas loop.
I had a feeling it was that (looking at some videos on Youtube).
One of us will have to endure the cold and get there over the season to get the live reference recordings we need (we always back up with those so we can speak with as much confidence as possible). Not sure who is going to volunteer though.  :huh:
Thank you for the confirmation.

In october 2012, in the corridor to go to the swimminpool, we can heard "Oasis" from "Gaia Project". You can find it on the album "Café Del Mar - Dreams Volume 3".
A little correction which has little to do with the main subject... When I stayed at the hotel (between 1997 and 2005) and they were working, the speakers in the rooms' bathrooms weren't connected to the hotel BGM but to the TV.
interesting, they were connected to the BGM and NOT the TV when we first stayed there which I think was possibly 2006 or 2007. The following year they were out and have been since (and we've stayed there each year since). Maybe a temporary change and when they realised that the new TV setup couldn't do the job?. Obviously some problem with the system - bit of a coincidence that they are always off when we visit otherwise!I'm very familiar with the CD they play as my son played it every day in the car for several years!
I think that Oasis is recent to. The area with the crocodiles has always been silent for us (mind you, the elevators are silent now too - at least when we go in August - and they used to play the music - albeit very low). I'll listen out this year.

I never notice the music in the swimming pool before because it's very light. When I recorded it, it was 11 PM and nobody all around : perfect silence ! So you can better heard the music.
Nearer 12 when I pass it - after the park closes - so it may well have been turned off by then. We usually have one of the ground floor rooms (with the outside patio) down the hallway near to the reception so don't pass it as often as we did. I'll make a point of going past it this year though.
Is it the area by the elevators or the actual passage from there to the pool (past the children's area)?
I've not been down there for a few years (before I really started with the audio) as I don't swim.
