This is actually the "modern" look that many express hotels have started to change to in the late 2010's towards the 2020's.I didn’t want to take up a post in your tr thread. I just looked at pictures of one of the new rooms at Movies. I like white myself, but aside from a maybe 12” x36 “ headboard picture, the room decor is sparse. Here are pics I found.

Aside from a bit of green paint in the bath area, and the one picture, there is no color at all. It is just cold. Not even an area rug. I get that it is easy to keep a vinyl floor clean, but they could put in an indoor/outdoor area rug that is easy to clean. They make plenty now that are actually nice and have a comfortable underfoot feel. I just don’t see anything inviting. Granted you are just sleeping there. I get that, it is just that it is Disney, and I want to know that I am at Disney when I stay there. Like I said, that could be a Best Western, or a Quality Inn anywhere. That’s just my opinion. Don’t hate me.
Ok. Recommendation. If you are ever blessed with the opportunity to go to Typhoon at night....GO!!!!!

I will post more on the Dorian as not to clog this place
That was always the best part of Gay Days - the “Beach Ball” at TL. Slides at night with drinks and a DJ.
Congratulations! I hope this works out, and at least be something of a bridge towards finding a better position elsewhere.I'm guessing this may not be a long term thing, but B got a job today.
It was actually a place where he interviewed several weeks ago, not sure if I mentioned it. It's a local restaurant with a bar that happens to be connected to the hotel where I have participated as a dealer in a record shows.
A headhunter sent him there back then; and he interviewed with a young guy, never heard back.
The headhunter called him back last night wondering what was up because the owner still needed someone. Brian immediately called the owner and set up an interview for this morning. This was the first time they met. The interview was brief, and he was hired.
The twist: the guy who interviewed him first may be on the chopping block. That guy "lost" B's paperwork. He knows something is up, and the owner suggested Brian "lay low" in the beginning. Great - more drama.
Seems like the other guy may be training his replacement. The owner opened a second location (more "upscale," I think he said, in Miami) and is spending a lot of time there.
He is starting tomorrow. One good thing is they close at 11 or midnight most nights rather than 2am, and 1am on weekends.
Starting salary is decent, not outstanding, but steady work, at least what he was making at the stadium before the July promotion. But supposedly a $5K raise after 90 days, and a shot at a bonus if they hit their projected numbers. I don't know details of any benefits yet (presuming there are benefits, he'll find out tomorrow.) Fairly significant downside: it's 6 days a week, and I don't know how long those days are expected to be. ETA: Honestly, I think that's the main thing that's keeping me from sounding more excited in this post lol.
Regardless, we're grateful to stop the bleeding, it's been a full 2 months now. He can always keep looking while working, but for all we know, it could take another 2 months or longer to find something viable. So this is a big relief for both of us.
Yes, I have seen the same look which is why I said it doesn’t set Disney apart now from those hotels. I am fine with that look elsewhere, although I have seen more artwork and splashes of color on walls at other hotels. It is just missing something for me.

Yes!
(I supposed the post office and UPS both appreciate my business though . . . 
)
How is it that if you find a brand of clothing that you like, that not everything in that brand fits the same? I measure according to the size charts, and a few things I bought were too big, and I had to mail them back. But, 4 months ago, I bought a few things and those were too small, so I went up a size. Now, the "up" size is too big on a few things, I just bought last week.
No, I didn't lose any weight. I hate clothes buying--frustrating.
