Yes. Even themed to the terminal with the Southwest gates.

There has to be some survey that is telling Disney that bland and generic is what the GP wants... right? RIGHT?!? (Probably the same survey that insists that EVERY new thing Disney adds to a park MUST have an IP tie in).

None of the lighting is where it should be, but it's actually really kind of odd how little of it there is now that you mention it. Wasn't there a ton of track lighting when it was the sundries shop?

The bottom line a spread sheet is the survey that tells Disney less ornate is less expensive.

I don't remember, it's been a long time since I've been to Boardwalk.

This is how Disney has done nearly everything recently -- one area is done well and another area is awful as though they're being handled by completely different isolated groups with no communication or even general oversight.

and they are umbrellas...not some grand thought-out thematic addition... oh, red and white stripes...ground-breaking. The Carousel Coffee Shop literally looks like any bland mid-range motel USA. WHY is following their own legacy so difficult for them now... It doesn't have to be an E ticket, but at least follow the theme of the hotel, and/or the name of the shop... and one photograph of a carousel doesn't quite work...especially with the mid-mod light fixtures and wallpaper... in the 1940s Boardwalk themed hotel. It is just ridiculous. This is NOT why we spent crazy sums of money to stay there and to be DVC members... Boo!
If people have to look to umbrellas in order to celebrate "a win" or something being "on-theme", you need to re-think things.
Seeing more pics, that coffee shop looks like it was mostly lifted from a hospital or Generic Chain Hotel, USA.
Do I have this correct, the coffee shop replaced the former sundries shop where DVC members could get "groceries"?

Because there's no one left who knows about or understands such things? When you get rid of everyone with ties to the old school, you are free to rewrite the rules as you see fit.

I'm wondering if the coffee shop will get further touch ups down the road. Seems like they like this approach now where they open a bit more bare and then add in things later on
