Disney will begin construction next summer on a new 700-room hotel at the Anaheim Disneyland Resort, Disney Parks Blog reports.
The new hotel will mark the first luxurious four-diamond hotel to open in Disney’s Anaheim resort in almost 20 years. The property is planned as an entry for “a new gateway” to the resort. It’ll be located on the west end of the park’s Downtown Disney district.



“Extensive landscaping and water elements will create a resort oasis, showcasing nature on every level of the hotel.” It will feature ground-level shops and eateries, two pools, a high-end rooftop restaurant, and a platform for the park’s monorail.
In front of the hotel, an “expansive landscaped plaza complete with playful water features” is planned. Further landscaping and walkways will link the new hotel with the resort’s four existing hotels, creating a new entrance to the park from the west.
The huge new hotel will take up 17 acres, and it will rise where the AMC theater, an Earl of Sandwich shop, the ESPN Zone, and Rainforest Cafe now stand, reports the Orange County Register. Disneyland officials told the Register that they’ve started to share their plans with tenants who would be displaced and say it’s possible some many find space to operate in the future hotel, which is expected to open in 2021.
As part of this project, Disney will also build a huge six-story, 6,500-spot parking structure on the existing Pinocchio Lot.

ESPN is the big sticking point in Disney's dispute with New York pay-TV operator Altice

Walt Disney Co. is facing a crucial test of the strength of its ESPN sports empire as a New York pay-TV provider is balking at the Burbank entertainment giant’s contract demands, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown. Altice USA is refusing to meet Disney’s demands to carry ESPN and Disney’s entertainment channels, including ABC, saying Disney is asking for too much money, particularly for ESPN, which has been struggling with subscriber losses and ratings declines. The carriage agreement — which covers Altice’s 2.6 million customer homes in the New York City suburbs — expires Saturday night. Without a new deal, millions of sports fans will be left in the lurch, unable to watch “Monday Night Football” or a pivotal New York Yankees wildcard playoff game next week. “Disney is not going to back down, and neither is Altice,” said veteran media analyst Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson Research. Much is riding on the negotiations, which will continue in adva
