    I don’t hate it. I think it’s the light brown color used on the doors and trim work ( that don’t match the dark wood ceiling beams) that makes these colors seem “off”. Hopefully not every room will look the same so the other rooms will have some better matching colors.

    It’s different but I don’t hate it

    You should consider applying to be a jungle cruise skipper

    What I don't get is the green palate color just like at Grand Floridian they chose a mint toothpaste looking that just doesn't fit or match the resort. Boardwalk's color is maroon!

    Lots of mint paint left over from M. Mouse Merchantile, I see.

    Screendoor reopened today. Interesting color choices

    Never happen. There isn't enough parking, and Lexin who owns the downtown wants RIDICULOUS rent for the space. Many attempts were made to do something with the space and all have failed.

    I didn't realize changes were being made to the store there, I thought it was fine and nice the way it was, but of course because it was nice it has to go, as such. Speaking of that also wondering about the Emporium, that entire back quadrant through to casey's walled off. Do we start cringing now how thats going to turn out?

    Ah, the Boarddwakd, home of on-theme locations like Cake Bake Shop.

    Disney AnalystFeb 13, 2025

    Hot take, if I was in charge... I'd be trying to remodel that bar ;) Maybe some more subtle colours, less circus, less tacky. ETA: I used Bing, please don’t write to corporate about me using AI to express what I would design.

    100% accurate in your assessment - 1990s Disney at its BEST.

    mattpetoFeb 13, 2025

    lol. Hey, that's still theming far beyond anything Carousel Coffee came up with.

    MisterPenguinFeb 13, 2025

    ;) (Yeah, I know it's gone, but it happened.)

    mattpetoFeb 13, 2025

    The BoardWalk Inn pool bar is a great example of theming done well.
