Looks like DL is getting bland versions of places as well
Ehhhh. I don't think connections eatery is well done. It looks like an airport. (I do enjoy the food at Connections) . And that store! So generic it hurts but I do like it's ceiling, but again it's not telling a story.I wholeheartedly agree with this; the issue is consistency.
If we just focus on EPCOT, there's the picturesque Ratatouille courtyard versus the awful La Crêperie de Paris interior (and to a lesser extent, the exterior), the well-done Connections Eatery versus the hub mess across the plaza, and that's just scratching the surface.
The current output is presently such a shocking mixed bag of quality, with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows being the norm for new products, which are, shockingly enough, frequently directly next to one other.
I'm frankly not downtrodden about the future of the parks, as I enjoy them immensely. With Chapek's ouster, the long-term prospects for the parks are a lot better, and overall, I think the improvements made over the last decade have done wonders to bring WDW parity compared with the other resorts. Still, there are laughably ludicrous decision choices for nearly every positive change that I hope will be addressed.
This board mostly focuses on WDW, but I don't think this quality control issue is more evident anywhere than DCL's new ship, the Wish, so it's becoming a troubling pattern.
With a name like "connections"... isn't it an airport theme already?!1?I don't think connections eatery is well done. It looks like an airport. (I do enjoy the food at Connections) . And that store! So generic it hurts but I do like it's ceiling, but again it's not telling a story.
Back to the eatery..... It almost made me think it'd be nice if they actually executed on an airport of the future theme intentionally.

Yes. Even themed to the terminal with the Southwest gates.With a name like "connections"... isn't is an airport theme already?!1?
Even that has classic touches still like the beach balls along seats and the juke boxThat's similar to what they did to Beaches and Cream.
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 lack of lighting over the work area is inexcusable.
The bottom line a spread sheet is the survey that tells Disney less ornate is less expensive.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).
I don't remember, it's been a long time since I've been to Boardwalk.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?
