Not really...unfortunately.
They shorted that...bad planning.
But all hail captain cooks and the blessed dining plan
Disney had some very generous offers in the 00's.

Ahhhh...
(Sean Connery Voice). “Then the game is on...”
Well...that was the horrid, insufferable, evil, do no good Michael Eisner era...if you recall?
This is the slick, polished; genius, nothing but good intentions Robert Disney Iger era.
One developed a moderate cost timeshare program and pushed annual passes and core clientele
The other declared war on those very things.
You want to tell me your thoughts on discounts when the Fed has pumped $7,500,000,000,000 of “liquidity” into the market (1/3 of GDP...since late last year) and the stocks are “more valuable”?
Wall Street has yet again cut the voice out of the consumers at WDW...it’s what they do.

Yes, the refurb includes extensive work to monorail station there.
"A Disney World spokeswoman on Monday said changes to the rooms will include a move to a Pacific Ocean-inspired color palette as well as details, patterns and textures from Disney’s “Moana,” an animated film that takes place on the Polynesian island of Motunui."

It's 2020 why wouldn't Disney mess with my two favorite things on property (The Poly & Splash)

Seeing the Poly get Moana-fied is sad. The Poly was perfect the way it is. A time machine to the WDW that opened in 1971. Sigh. Resorts don't need to be IP'ed.

So people want more Disney theming, but god forbid they add a Disney movie theme to the rooms? That makes no sense.
Well it had to be didn't it."A Disney World spokeswoman on Monday said changes to the rooms will include a move to a Pacific Ocean-inspired color palette as well as details, patterns and textures from Disney’s “Moana,” an animated film that takes place on the Polynesian island of Motunui."

The “theming” in hotels are focused around locations or environments or ambience...or they were.
You can’t honestly be saying you can’t see the difference?

I don't get this forum. They add a relevant IP to a resort that fits the theme, and people hate it. They add an irrelevant IP to somewhere that doesn't fit the theme as much, and people hate it. WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT? Disney owns some of the most profitable IP in the world, and you think they're not going to use it where they can??
I can answer this one for you - it is simple. A large number of fans like unique designs and backstory, and would rather not see IP anywhere, and specifically not replacing something that was previously non-IP.

Many people...not all...don’t want characters slapped on everything.
A view shared by the first 4 iterations of Disney management. It’s a personal choice.
But what they seem to do...is “detheme” the rooms and then slap some characters on.
The result is not very interesting.
