What is looking better? It looks like the rendered “blueprints” that were published.

I saw this image looked better then I would of pictured. Haven’t really seen what it was going to look like. It still clashes with the theming and all that but it’s a little more interesting then the blue box I have pictured.

Letting families tag along has long been a perk offered for business travel. Often the employee had to pay the difference but in some cases the company would even cover their travel costs.

Interesting. Where are you seeing that? I've never seen it and didn't see anything on Google (other than Lakeshore Reserve, which is a timeshare property, and Ritz-Carlton with a few Reserve properties). I didn't see any other properties using that moniker.
(And not saying you are wrong! Marriott would most definitely do something that generic - I just wanted to see it myself.)

Why on earth it doesn't reference all the colors of the Swan and Dolphin is beyond me. This is getting worse by the day... Swan and Dolphin are at least whimsical. This is going to look really dated really quickly. It actually references Cabana Bay more than anything - which is not aiming that the luxury status I think they are looking for. It's not bad - just very misplaced. (Which has become the legacy of modern Walt Disney World it seems...)
This is me annually - except 2020 because no employer travel being approved. We usually just take the conference room at the Dolphin, but I could be tempted by an up charge to a family suite. We do really enjoy the high up night views of the BW and EPCOT though as well as the rear of HS. Would be hard to give that up.

This looks more appropriate for Las Vegas Blvd. (down near the Wynn, maybe) than for anywhere on Disney property, to me.

I love that they finally realized they were naming their hotel after a documentary about a dolphin bloodbath

I agree. I originally thought having it be the Flamingo (higher end art deco design) could have been great. But, the confusion with the Flamingo Las Vegas would be an issue. Apparently that would have mattered less...

I would actually love for Disney to build a 1920s/30s Art Deco/Streamline Moderne themed resort.
There's no chance of that any time soon, of course, since they've apparently given up on building themed properties. But it would have made sense as a DHS area hotel back when DHS was themed to old LA/Hollywood. The entrance to the park is based on an old Streamline Moderne building.

It could have worked by Downtown Disney, too. I always thought Disney's Metropolitan Resort could have been a cool addition. Sort of LA meets Chicago.

The Ambassador hotel in tokyo and the Hollywood hotel in hong kong are art deco styled and really nice looking resorts. I’ve always thought this would be perfect theming for a Hotel by the studios. Im also suprised they never built a hotel like this in france. It would have fit the american theming of the resorts perfectly and europeans love this style

I love it when developments, be they hotels, business offices or home sites name themselves something like "The Reserve, The Preserve or Something Farms". They are none of those things .
