I would have expected better results from Mom in Tampa.

I guess naming the restaurant in the tower Toledo confirms that they're going with a vaguely Spanish theme for the main tower rather than the Southwest/Mexico theme of the rest of the resort. I know there are other Toledos, but it's pretty clear which one they're going with.
The rooms, eh, as others have said, they look like decent hotel rooms. Again, it seems like Disney's plan for the foreseeable future is to move away from themed hotels to just building regular hotels.

Yeah, at least you get a casino. These new watered down resort makeovers ain't impressing anyone.

Wasn't another name announced earlier? Like Villa del Lago - A Lakeside Restaurant?
Los Tres Puentes... sounds kinda romantic, unless you're a football fan.Three Bridges Bar & Grill is a horrible name. Literally Chili's Grill & Bar is a better name. Chili's has a better name for their restaurant than CSR.
Why yes, The Unnameable Site said that they have... "learned that Villa del Lago (translates to house on the lake) is the name of a new lounge/restaurant experience coming to Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in 2019."
So, what we learn from this is...
1. "Having learned something" for them often means reading it on some other blog and repeating it without attribution. Most likely they got it from here: https://www.disneymeetings.com/blog...esort/?CMP=SOC-DM-blog-villa-del-lago-7-18-18
2. "House on the lake" is an incorrect translation of "Villa del Lago."
3. They were wrong. And, well, so was Disney. They changed their mind, I guess. There are a lot of "Villa del Lagos" out there in the world. Not that there aren't other "Three Bridges Restaurants" out there, too.

Exactly! When I saw the most recent artwork, I was thinking, well, it looks like they brought in in from the Vegas Strip. But my next thought was that it wasn't as good as that.

Is it cheaper to build generic rooms or themed rooms?

Hard to really answer. The room designs are all custom anyways so there's not much savings between themed to Disney and a Hilton. At this point your still buying bulk materials for all of the room renovations.

To add on to this. Disney also wants to make the rooms as easy for housekeeping to maintain as well.

The tower building is as banal as an average I-4 hotel. The worst part is, such a tower could have easily have been designed in a style that blended seamlessly with the established Casitas architecture of the resort. That's a no-brainer, lay-up, right? No. That is so far beyond Iger's & Chapek's philistinic vision for WDW (1. Inject/build IP. 2. Build off-the-shelf hotels 3. Raise rates, add fees and upcharge). It's depressing to know what this, Riviera, Swan-Dolphin tower, Reflections, and what ever is to come are going to do to WDW, as a resort, to make it feel so much more ordinary.
What were people expecting the rooms to be themed as? Here's a Y&B room...
How is that more theming than any of the Destino rooms?

A typo what?
Sorry this joke is going nowhere fast. I was just trying to make a funny but the internet can be so serious.
