I might have been interested...but all that beige paint made me stop caring...lol

Same. Plus the succession of Bob, then another Bob, then Bob again really made me stop caring.

Nice to see they are building a Pizza Hut next door. Did we know that?

(extreme sarcasm joke font)

80’s red roof Pizza Huts were far more iconic than whatever (hand waves) this is shaping up to be.

Sorry if this has been covered but what are the bigger squares?

My guess is paid fireworks viewing

At least the budget cut porte chochere now thematically fits something...

Nah - Pizza Huts are confirmed to have table seating and quick service options.

Regardless of what people want to say about their attractions that Disney has made over the past 10 years plus, the thing that I'm actually most upset about is the resorts.

They have so many incredible resorts like wilderness Lodge and Polynesian, and yet instead of continuing that trend we have received lipstick on a pig generic resorts like Riviera and this Polynesian...thing.

Imagine how great it would have been to get a few more Wilderness Lodge level resorts over the past decade or so...

I would have loved to see what Eisner would have approved for this spot. I bet it would have been something totally unique and something only seen in WDW.

as long as it was Eisner's early years... by the end of his tenure he brought in Paul Pressler and Cynthia Harris from The Gap... they were pretty terrible budget cutters....

We have heard of "go away green"
This is "don't give a crap beige"

This from the company (formerly) known for their immersive storytelling and creativity.

I’ve tried to be open minded that the finishing details could salvage this but as we get closer to completion it’s looking worse by the day.

That would look fine in Henderson

Whoa. It’s like they used the latest AI technology with the prompt to create a top tier Peter Dominick original.

Externally totally unimpressive and underwhelming, BUT! I want to see what the interior will look like. Will the bland and blah theming be carried over to the inside?

 

[John park hopper]

Old enough to remember the original Poly lobby and it was amazing ---then they redid the lobby (IMO downgrade) not so amazing. I suspect the interior of the Polyday Inn will be just as generic in true Current Disney fashion

We'll have to see. If I'm guessing, I'm envisioning Hawaiian Grand Destino. It will feel somewhat high end, modern ad vaguely tropical (at least from the renderings). I would say nicely decorated. "Transportative" or "well themed"... my money isn't going on that square...

I think this will be nice, but there's no way I'm ever going to stay here.

yes it’s generic, but at least it’s authentic

 

[Bocabear]

Authentic ? Authentic what?

I think they're public lounges. Dormitories at my college were designed like this, looked very similar but with red brick facing. The rumor was that it was designed to be a prison in Arizona, maybe Disney got a discount on the drawings that have been reused so many times.

Authentically generic...

They got the CFTOD prison plans.....
