That’s true. I hope it’s the case! The grey doesn’t look bad even, it’s just not themed.

Who cares what the carpet is like if it's clean and sewage clean?

It’s all about loss of the small thematic elements that make the overall effect, which has sadly been happening more and more at Disney parks.

It's a carpet, come on.

It’s temporary. Caused by an unplanned event.

I know this
I’m just explaining why people may be frustrated/upset by the loss of a thematic element such as ‘just a carpet’.

This kind of logic is wrong and goes against everything WDI stands for. Perhaps you need to acquaint yourself with some books on Disney Imagineering and just good storytelling in general. Everything contributes, right down to the type of nuts and bolts used.
Sounds like how many people actually is involved to screw in a lightbulb, so many levels of company and or government red tape just to get the thing done.

Right. I'll get on that. When I can be honestly bothered what carpet in a random gift shop looks like. You guys are maybe a bit too invested in Disney.

I am shocked to find out that there are people invested in Disney on a Disney fan site!
"I'm sorry, I think the site you're looking for is WDWCurmudgeons.com - Not caring or invested in the theme parks since ... meh, whenever..."

"Color supports the identity of form by helping to define it. For example, in painting an apple in black and white, if I depict the fruit with a bite taken out of it, I make its identity as an apple, rather than a peach or a plum, clearer. But an apple painted in red doesn't need the bite taken out of it; its color supports the viewer's perception of what it is. The form, carefully rendered in color, creates the image's "appleness." the shinny red apple given to Snow White by the wicked witch is clearly identified by its color and form, and is an essential element in the story highly prized by guests in the Snow White dark ride." -- John Hench
Come on, it's just an apple!

At WDI we had that joke on a wall... "How many Imagineers does it take to change a lightbulb?" The answer? "Why does it have to be a lightbulb?"

One of the companies I worked for was owned by someone who was such a micro-manager, that I drew this on the white-board. It was there for SEVEN YEARS until he sold the company and the new owner was such that I was able to erase it. We were a graphics company, he'd bought it from someone else, and his inability to allow creative people to do their jobs was epic. (Sorry for the crappy pic...I'm not photoshopping this, lol.)
It means "Independent Thought Alarm".

Why are you even here? It was a really cool custom element in there that even a cast member was excited about pointing it out to me once. Story matters in this place.

Who else will just randomly tell us how dumb theming is in a theme park?
