Disneyland Hotel Waterfalls

Post by MmeLeota » Jun Wed 30, 2010 7:15 pm

I just saw this thread on MiceChat while searching for information on another topic.

I love the ambience these waterfalls provide (although they are a bit on the noisy side), and personally would hate to see them go.

I haven't noticed them until the latest Micechat update but it would be real sad to see them go. They look real peaceful if you're not sitting up close.

We enjoyed looking out our hotel window at night and seeing the different colors in the waterfalls...they are super pretty at night and would be missed...:(

The last few times I went over there they always seemed to have the lower walkways closed off anyway - maybe they're only open in the mornings. I will be sad to see them go but that area is due for a facelift. And they already ripped the heart of the old area out with the removal of the dancing waters show.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

I agree horizons1. I was heartbroken when I learned that Fantasy Waters was gone...yet the old fountain still sits there. (I saw a recent picture somewhere)

Do I think the waterfall area could use a facelift? Absolutely!!! There is always so much water on the walkways, it's no wonder they're closed off. But there are ways to remedy that problem without completely yanking them out all together. I suppose we'll have to make it over there for a final goodbye during our next trip.

But I also have to say, several years ago (the last time we were in the falls area) the lower walkways were blocked off too. I can't help but wonder if there is more to the story than Disney is letting on...if there is some sort of structural deterioration occurring, then I completely understand. But it would be nice to have something other than grass put in its place.

I haven't heard about any performances in years...of course I could be mistaken. Anyone out there know for sure?

The comments have mentioned the former Fantasy Waters area. Yesterland has no articles on it but after looking on Mouseplanet, I think they stopped showing it around 2005/2006.

Everything I looked at seemed to indicate the shows stopped in 2006...it was a fun little show...

It is definitely gone, and 2005/2006 sounds about right.

That's really a shame. I would have loved to see it when it was still there.
