*yells so someone at TDO might hear me* “DO THIS TO THE CONCOURSE LEVEL!!!”
How did they get the lobby so right and the rooms so wrong? I standby my theory that there was a glitch in the Covid era zoom meetings and the Incredibles rooms were accidentally approved.

They’ve also got tables and chairs, plus comfy seats at Contemporary Grounds. So far I like what I’ve seen - except the rooms.

Couldn't agree more. Having more Mary Blair flair would really help make sense of the mural too.

Right? Seeing those room illustrations in the lobby just reemphasizes what a misfire the rooms they ended up with are.

Are they not doing work on the concourse level? If not that’s going to be quite the transition.

The design team now shows it has the capability, but, do they have the guts to swallow their pride and REDO THE ROOMS!They’ve also got tables and chairs, plus comfy seats at Contemporary Grounds. So far I like what I’ve seen - except the rooms.

The rooms are reopening from today, aren’t they? It’s too late, which is a pity.
Re-doing the rooms ain't happening.
But neither is getting rid of Mary Blair, which was so many's worry.
We can have it all!

It looks like they’re possibly updating the flooring on the monorail platform maybe, but that’s it. Chef Mickeys is the main culprit, if they could get rid of the 90s purple clutter it would make a world of difference.

Why is everyone hating on the new incredible rooms? I thought they were cool and fit in with the idea of contemporary really well

What I dislike about them is the monolith they built around the window/balcony. Looks like you are closed in

I also admit I LOVE the incredibles and a minimalist look. They are probably my favorite themed rooms

My main problem with the redo of the rooms is that the decals in the closet and drawer look terrible, the lights are aggressively fluorescent, and a couple of the pieces look, at least in the photos, a bit cheap. If they had dialed in a bit more on some of the warm tones and furnishings from the lobby and just not done the decals, it would be fine.

Count the guests lucky that the CR was designed somewhat contemporary and, unfortunately, has subsequently fallen to the perverse penchant to include IP in everything that is done. Fortunately the original design was not some cheap knockoff of a nearly 20 year old Disney movie or we might be discussing the renovations being done to Cinderella's resort. Boldness does not mean conformity.

Because the rooms are a hideous choice for this location. The rooms should match the lobby aesthetic. If the Incredibles rooms were at Art of Animation it would be great, but this hotel deserves a higher end look that decals of super suits in a closet are not providing.Why is everyone hating on the new incredible rooms?

- I don’t like the IncrediblesWhy is everyone hating on the new incredible rooms? I thought they were cool and fit in with the idea of contemporary really well
- I don’t want a life size vinyl figure staring at me when I open a closet. That would go for any character, even Mickey himself
- There is no desk / table
- I don’t like the lack of privacy in the bathroom
- I don’t like the colour scheme
