I'm right there with you. Watched a few of the videos posted recently by some of the Dis-Media outlets and outside of the figures, it didn't feel all that "Lion King" to me outside. As far as the rooms are concerned... I love the bathrooms but the rooms themselves were, well, underwhelming. The carpet looks like just normal foliage themed carpet (something you'd see at a chain hotel) and I don't quite get why the walls are just plain boring white. They could've painted them the color of a sunset and it would've made a gigantic difference in how the rooms felt.
Oddly enough, my son loved what he saw and said he wants to stay there instead of the Cars suites when we go. I think he was suffering from temporary insanity however because he has never watched the Lion King from beginning to end, has had no interest in anything Lion King themed at any point in his life, and is a Cars NUT! LOL!
