Ocoees Own Colony Plaza Hotel meets a dramatic end
by rita devlin
At 7:11 a.m. on Saturday, May 9, a Southwest Orlando landmark came to a spectacular end as hundreds of people gathered along the corner of West Colonial Drive and Maguire Road in Ocoee to witness the implosion of the Colony Plaza Hotel.
The hotel boasted a grand beginning, opening in 1968 as a Ramada Inn and vacation resort. Shortly thereafter, on April 30, 1969, Disney executives, who had rented the entire hotel, held an elaborate press event to introduce Walt Disney World Resort and officially announce the 1971 opening of the park.
Throughout the years, the pink hotel changed ownership, eventually becoming a time-share complex. Butch Stanley, fire marshal division chief of the Ocoee Fire Department, said the hotel was never condemned, but was cited in 2001 as being unsafe and uninhabitable.
