I agree. This is a generic downgrade and totally blows apart all their Cheap Words pablum the WDI Comms interns and Parks Blog marketeers post about being great storytellers and creating immersive environments and blah blah blah. The new tile looks like a Home Depot display kitchen.
And then... I looked at the photo of this new tile in its natural setting. Looking at who the audience now is for these parks, do these people even care? Do they even notice? They are just staring at their phones and driving to their next snack bar pickup on Mobile Order.
Are we the stupid ones for caring about traditional details, while folks still show up for
"Disney!" and the refillable mugs and souvenir popcorn buckets made in China?
