Hang onto your hats and glasses because the new Big Thunder Suite at the Disneyland® Hotel is the wildest suite in the wilderness. Located on the top floor of the Dreams Tower, this new two-bedroom suite accommodates up to six guests in 1,400 square feet of rustic accommodations inspired by the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad® Attraction at Disneyland Park.
Howling wolves sound as the suite’s doorbell. Guests then step into a mine-shaft foyer inlaid with fool’s gold where they are greeted by the sound of a rumbling steam train. (A button on the wall can be pushed to trigger sound effects from the attraction.) The mine shaft leads into a living and dining area that separates the suite’s two expansive bedrooms. In many rooms, repurposed wood from a Midwestern barn is used as flooring and paneling, which is complimented by textured earthen walls.
A stone-hearth fireplace in the living area serves as the suite’s centerpiece and houses a mounted flat-panel television. When not in use, the television is concealed by one of the many pieces of attraction concept art found throughout the suite. The living area also includes a surround sound-stereo system and displays antique mining tools, including a gold scale and pan from the 1850s.
The dining area features a knotted table with seating for eight, a wagon-wheel chandelier and a wet bar made of petrified wood. Above the bar hangs a "living portrait" of a gold miner who magically changes activities over the course of the day.
Rustic décor belies the luxurious amenities found in the suite’s two bedrooms. The master bedroom is appointed with a desk, sitting area and king-sized bed with a commanding headboard made of rich wood, brown leather and exposed brackets. The master bath is revealed through a sliding barn door, where a free-standing copper tub is surrounded by a dramatic stone wall. The tub’s copper finish matches the copper piping in the adjacent steam shower, which is tiled with an earth-tone mosaic. A television dwells behind the mirror above the bathroom’s bucket sinks.
The Big Thunder Suite adds to the growing portfolio of signature suites at the Disneyland Hotel, which is undergoing a renovation project that includes remodeling guest rooms, re-theming the hotel’s three towers, building a new pool and water play area, renovating an existing pool, and opening a new restaurant and bar. Other one-of-a kind options now available include the Mickey Mouse Penthouse, Pirates of the Caribbean Suite, Fairy Tale Suite and two regal suites.
