Detheming of resorts? (a word?)

[ramee]

I used to miss the look of the bedspreads. Now they just seem so dated, so I’m glad they’re gone. But I do miss the weight of them when I sleep. Yeah, I know.....I may be the only person ever to sleep with them.

I slept with them for the same reason. A flimsy sheet isn’t enough. But then I read somewhere that those weren’t always washed.

Everyone remembers the old Dateline black light episode . YUCK!

For the Values I get the fake hard woods as their carpet was pretty icky to begin with after the sheer volume of people those rooms saw.

All levels of WDW have pretty much the same occupancy levels. So no real difference in the volume of people in rooms at Pop vs Grand Floridian for example.

Unfortunately, yes!

POFQ - are these the correct rooms?

I always assumed they weren’t washed regularly, it still never stopped me or bothered me. I just want to be warm and cozy.

Yes! I loved those bedspreads!

I can't help it, I like the new rooms better!

I can concede, the rooms did look nice with some colorful bed runners. But I don't think removing them took away any theming.

Oh, I like all new rooms better too. But when I look at the new POFQ room, I have no idea what resort I’m looking at. The old Mardi Gras bedspread tells me that I’m at POFQ.

They should do accents walls. Paint that purple and gold pattern on one wall for POFQ.

I like the little touches (mickey lamps, detail in flooring, small disney touches)

just looking at your pictures again, OP. another example: in the bottom left of the old GF room, there’s a lamp with a top-hatted mickey. no lamp in the new room.

although, from what i remember, I think GF rooms have alice in wonderland wallpaper in the bathroom sink area? the little theming touches aren’t totally gone.

I’m kind of glad the walls are plain. I think I like the new wall colours. But it’s always so hard to tell for sure in pictures. The curtains on the window, and the curtains by the washroom seem different but I can’t really tell if they’re themed.

Pop Century - I see the old carpet was cute, but I like the new artwork so much better, it feels more "pop art" Disney to me!

 

[ramee]

Too much?

I like the green color, itself, in POFQ. But it’s not a theme like the pattern on the bedspread.

It's a lot, but maybe one wall in the bathroom area, behind the mirror? I'm not sure of the room layout.

Yeah. The art is great. Like the Art Deco dresser. The carpet looked dingy.

I actually like the new POFQ much more than CSR or POP. The different floor design with 2 colors of wood. An accent colored wall, to me this makes a big difference, then 4 very boring beige walls. The New Orleans style lattice corner pieces in bathroom doorway. I do not miss the spreads but do miss the runners, just added some color. Also, not a fan of the wood vinyl floors, even in the POP picture above you can start seeing some issues forming with it.

I am in the camp of dislike. The beds look like they belong in a hospital not a hotel. I agree not to bring back the bedspreads, but what would be wrong with themed printed sheets? I guess if I want a theme, I will have to go to AoA if I ever go back to Disney. It's a shame to waste that much space for one person as I will be going solo.

What rooms don't have a theme now?

I think the only bedspread that added to the theme was POFQ because of the colors.

Part of this is because of the stark white look, but also because the new beds have added storage under the beds (which is something I love)!
