The Boardwalk is really loosing a lot of its charm. It’s very disappointing, I can’t believe this is what it’s come to.

Then where is the money going? It sure isn't being used to purchase one of a kind items that give the Hotel it's theme. Has the cost of the items in the Hotel decorating catalogs that Marriott uses gone up that much?
Maybe its time to up the budget then....

Maybe they are paying "plenty" to third party vendors who are outsourcing the design work.....

That’s how most of the resorts came to be. Including Boardwalk originally.

Wasn't Imagineering overseeing them at design time? I believe Disney Legend Wing Chao was deeply involved in these hotels. Is Imagineering still involved during refurbs?

Imagineering or DDC before 1996 oversaw their design and construction. But most of the actual architecture, engineering, and interior/exterior design was handled by outside vendors and design firms.
Imagineering is still involved in a similar capacity.

If true, why are they taking theming out of every hotel and making them more generic?
We know Imagineering was responsible for the renovation of BWI's pool area from scary clown vomiting sliders to Mickey and friends and their "kiesters."

Any word on when we'll get a glimpse of the refurbed villas?
The Lady and the Tramp topiary has been removed. Was informed by cast that it was only brought out to "plus" the area because the execs were there. How pathetic. Mickey and Minnie also removed from Yacht Club. Again, how pathetic. You're only fooling yourself.

Also, they deliberately turned on the lights on the shuttered booths (and kept Atlantic Dance Hall closed an extra night for some reason!) to make things look better for the execs. Meanwhile, Cake Bake Shop has had absolutely no progress since the last photo. Unreal

why do these resorts keep trying to do everything unDisney,,,not even allowed to have a topiary anymore? Something is going on...I dont even think its TDO making these calls but whoever the individuals are managing the resorts specifically.

Great. I'm hoping this opens by Easter when we (as of now) have a room at BWV. I was wondering when it was going to get moving again.
