I had a friend who stayed at The Inn at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, TN last month. It's a brand new hotel completely themed to Christmas, owned by the same people who operate the Christmas store there. Anyway, my friend said while she was there, some of the staff told them that some people from Disney were also there viewing the hotel as they were considering something similar.
So, I have no idea if this information is reliable or not, but is Disney planning to develop a Christmas-themed hotel? Anyone heard? I guess it's not official until we hear it from a WDW bus driver
Here's a link to the hotel's website:

It's a beautiful place.
