Exactly this. The refurbished confectionery is just... fine. There's nothing wrong with it, per se, but a few tweaks would have made a big difference. Using this picture as an example... ...some things that would have improved the look and feel of the store: Using colorful floor tile...

The new Contemporary lobby is a home run - job well done by the team in charge. This is the design aesthetic that should have been used in the guest rooms. Hopefully they'll update the GC concourse to better match the lobby. Unfortunately this. The lack of cohesion across the resort has always...

I’d say the layout of the previous Club Cool was better, but that’s about it. More dispensers positioned in circular clusters made it much easier to move around and take multiple samples. The new layout of fewer dispensers all in a row along one wall is a disappointing downgrade.

This. Communicore had a lot of areas with sunken floors. All that was (stupidly) filled in with the Innoventions redo.

Bob Chapek instead of The Rock? Darn budget cuts are hitting deep.

This. Anything that keeps the water pageant going is a win in my book, and even better, it's getting some 50th additions. More of this please! Any chance FoF would be one of those unannounced surprises? Surely there's got to be some kind of parade down Main Street for the 50th...

I'm not the biggest fan of the lightsaber fight, but looking at the video they are using "fake" lightsabers as you can see the faint outline of the light housings when they're turned off. So again, points for realism, even if the concept itself isn't my cup of tea.

Yikes. Between this and your trepidation in the Harmonious thread about Harm's lackluster lighting effects, I'm getting pretty worried about our new nighttime shows...

That attempt at a joke by Uni's Twitter is pretty dumb. First, I think most of us would agree that Space 220 is a perfect example of using screens to create a believable and unique theme park experience. But even ignoring that, Uni trying to criticize it by showing their tacky screen covered...

Should we be worried about that at this point? I'm all for upgrades but it is odd to have this long a gap considering they got a pretty big upgrade in the final years of IllumiNations, and that was accomplished without interrupting RoE. There was the one preview video which showed the manta ray...

No worries, no combativness coming through at all! I just would have preferred something more WDW specific, like castle artwork or concept art from when the MK was being designed, showing how the castle was to look as the icon of the park. That would have celebrated Cinderella Castle in, I feel...

I don't know, have you seen how many special edition cupcakes Disney has put out? It is a running joke on here after all! ;) I'm with you on the gold, actually, and wonder how the castle would have looked in a white/blue/gold ribbon scheme vs. the pink/blue/"earidescent" ribbon we currently...

Because cake is a very common thing at milestone events...? How does a giant birthday cake NOT fit into a 25th birthday celebration for WDW?

And that's fine. I just don't think they look all that nice, and I love me some Mary Blair as much as the next person, but we're celebrating WDW's 50th, not Cinderella's. If those banners had concept art of the Magic Kingdom from the '60s, that would make a lot more sense in my opinion. I'm...

Looks like someone hung their homemade quilt. And it's yet another item that isn't WDW specific. I don't understand how so much of the 50th stuff can be so lackluster. It's just comically bad.

What do you mean? They repainted them an extra dark shade of black - problem solved!

From a show design standpoint, one thing that has bothered me is the team either not taking into account or not really caring about how light and water do very different things once they are off a vertical axis. So, in this screenshot of the Mulan section, you have arcing jets of water (the...

I would have given Disney a lot of kudos if they had had the guts to make that topiary cake castle shaped. But what's there right now is pretty terrible.

I was going back and forth over this, too. On the one had, I loved the old breezeway lighting (don't ask why, I just did) so part of me is happy the new LEDs stay true to that look: But then, like you, there's another part of me that thinks they're going overboard on the color changing...

MouseGear really had strong Tomorrowland '94 vibes, not unsurprising given when it was conceived. It wasn't my preference and I always thought it never really "fit" into Future World, but it was certainly unique compared to other stores, Disney or not. The natural daylight and cleaner lines of...
