New Themed Rooms?

Several people have reported receiving surveys from Disney asking their opinions on two new hotel room themes. Following on from the success of the pirate themed rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, the new room themes are Haunted Mansion and Royal rooms. The Haunted Mansion rooms feature floating Doom Buggy beds, and a sliding bookcase that creates a hidden passage to the bathroom. Guests could also look forward to seeing glow-in-the-dark, cartoon-like footsteps mysteriously appear on the ceiling as the evening sets in, and a ghost appear in the mirror. Remember that these rooms appear to only be at the concept stage, and there’s no knowing if they’ll actually be put into place anywhere. However, if they are, I’d expect the Haunted Mansion themed rooms to go at Port Orleans French Quarter, and the Royal rooms to go in Port Orleans Riverside.
