New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

[Tha Realest]

I'm confused. @wdwmagic did they include one of the photos from AOA by mistake?

One image is very nicely done in the spirit of the Jersey Shore as the DELUXE Resort is themed for. The other one (pictured) is crap.

Please tell me this is a joke

In the case y’all are being serious the images came from an article about housekeepings being reinstated. They were not all images from the new boardwalk rooms. The one you guys are being weird about is indeed from AoA. Now carry on.

That mirror looks like one from the new Caribbean rooms or AoA not the boardwalk. Must be a mistake. From the looks of it, I sort of like the new fresh look.

But the yellow & plaid rooms are the new Boardwalk ones?

It was included in the article posted about the new Boardwalk rooms, but it's not there now so it's been fixed.

These aren't bad. Definitely not the worst in recent renovations - and Mickey and Minnie seem to be very tastefully used. It is a little bland. It feels like an outside firm who has never really been to the resort (which I understand is actually true).

Looks like a deluxe Disney resort to me. I don’t want the garish value look here or…well…anywhere. Glad it’s been on its way out. Those mermaid rooms are a migraine in a box.

 

[ShookieJones]

Hmmm!!They didn’t jack this up too bad! Surprised!

 

[runnsally]

Just themed and disney enough…well done overall I think.

Would have preferred that they used the character style from the slide re-do in the room art.

Well these aren't too terrible, now go and fix the other rooms/resorts they loused up.
And I have to wonder if the addition of the pictures in the coffee shop etc were added due to complaints or where they forthcoming anyway?

Wait, which rooms have lice?!!

It's part of the

Wait, which rooms have lice?!!

It's ok. They are Andrews Lice. They can be controlled with succulents. Just like in Atlantic City.

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.

Sadly too true, I think. And even sadder given the opportunity to look back at that amazing history that has been provided by WDW’s 50th and now the company’s 100th.

Similar colors to the new look CBR!

Similar colors to the new look CBR!

It’s now the signature style for moderate resorts with Skyliner access

This one looks like a winner. Hopefully we will we more like this.

Looks like they made the same reconfiguration to the refurbished Boardwalk rooms that they did in the Polynesian "Moana" refurb -- moving the closets over next to the entry door, and placing the coffee/fridge setup opposite the bathroom door (or rather, the entryway to the sink area). Personally, I love the change. It will make the rooms feel bigger and airier, while adding a nice piece of art, more lighting, and more storage for food and beverage items.

(Comparison photos below: the "sneak peak" of the new Boardwalk rooms, with what appears to be a lighted soffit, shelf and mural directly opposite the bathroom sink area, and a photo of the similarly-configured area in the new Polynesian Moana rooms.)

Took a tour of the carousel coffee place again yesterday and was once again dismayed by the lack of effort. I thought to myself, what could be the story here to make it feel like it belongs. Within 2 minutes I had it:

Carousel Coffee was once a work space for the hotel’s maintenance dept. They took care of the hotel along with the grand carousel out on the boardwalk. The people working here were known for the great coffee theyd brew on their breaks in their vintage coffee maker. This became an informal break room where they’d share their coffee with the other hotel staff. It became so popular they decided that the next step would be to share it with hotel guests. When you step inside you’ll see props on the walls of various “repair stuff”; old cans of paint and tools, colorful lightbulbs from the carousel etc. Framed blue prints of the hotel and boardwalk attractions would be hung up. The space would have a story and feel like it belonged. Literally took me minutes to come up with this. Instead we have a cheap and tacky outsider project with no story and no sense of belonging.
