Before for reference
This looks like a nursing home dining room. Seriously.

Yes it does lol. I like the new update, fresh but in character
I like the new chandelier in the club room. Marquee-Boardwalk style lights, but not obnoxious.

I like the hallway a lot but don't care for the lounge. Not that I'll ever go there, anyway. It's an improvement, at least. I agree that it looked like a nursing home cafeteria before. Now it looks more like a hospice cafeteria.

It is all misses with an occasional hit... I like the chandelier, but the overall has all the character and charm of a Fairfield Inn Breakfast bar...
Why do they continue to downgrade the theme of these premium resorts? Yes it is new and looks modern, but it is supposed to be a seaside hotel in the 1940s. Disney used to really understand theme...and it was the theme decor and location that justified the popularity and price... Not sure why they cannot seem continue updates and refresh without throwing the style out the window....and doing the lazy Marriott Motel playbook.

I’ll bash the tacky Incredibles rooms or the obnoxious Poly tower. But this update is fine. Modern refresh that maintains subtle character. The hyper theme of the past is not “in” anymore and I agree I would not have paid for that ugly club lounge. But some curtains or art would help!

I see the latest "enhancement" is that the BoardWalk Pizza Window no longer lets you order a full pizza nor do they have a specialty pizza. Now you can just order a $10 slice of cheese or pepperoni pizza. Someone must have realized ordering a whole pizza was one of the last remaining good values at WDW. Can't have that.

That's terrible. We loved just getting a pizza there for dinner at like 9-9:30 one night and relaxing on the Boardwalk for a bit.
There's a 0% chance I'd ever just buy a giant slice there when I could go to Disney Springs and get a much better slice for cheaper at Pizza Ponte.

Yeah. It was never great pizza but with hungry kids, it was nice to be able to just grab a whole pie to feed everyone something. We loved bringing one to the pool. At least we can still get a whole pizza through room service. Oh, wait. They don't offer room service outside of the Grand Floridian...................
I guess we can't have nice things. If I just go to Universal, I can still order a whole pizza at Hard Rock Hotel...

Yeah, it certainly wasn't great pizza, but it was better than Domino's or Papa John's.

Every time Disney makes a change like this it just says we don't want you here anymore, its mindboggling.

While I don’t agree with this change, they probably did it primarily so they could more consistently have slices. There was almost always a wait.Every time Disney makes a change like this it just says we don't want you here anymore, its mindboggling.

Makes sense, but they just keep taking away and dwindling things .
