To me, it's just a bit too modern. The whole bedding wall looks like they designed it for the Grand Californian (where it would actually work well) and thought they could put it in the other "similar" lodge. Having stayed at the WL in 1996, 2012, and 2015 (and Fort Wilderness in the '80s and early '90s, and the GC in 2013), it's moving farther from its design intent/theme each time. The last time I stayed there it looked like your photo in the other thread (crown molding, carpet, white bedspread with colored runner). While it was still nice and enjoyable and somewhat in theme then, it wasn't quite as "homey" and relaxing as I remember from '96. This new design looks very busy and only seems to fit the theme of the WL by including "trees." (If the pattern behind the beds and coffee maker was just a dark red color, is there anything left to communicate that this is the WL? It would kind of look like a Holiday Inn I stayed at in Dallas several years ago.)
Also, can I say I hate the trend of removing all non-white soft surfaces from the rooms? Laminate flooring and minimal white bedding may be cheaper than custom carpet and bedspreads and "easier" to clean, but it's about as inviting as a hospital room.
I worry about the sterilization of the WL after seeing the photos of the now DVC half (along with what was planned for "Reflections"
and how Riviera turned out). If I wanted to stay in a generic looking room with minimal theming, I could experience that anywhere. The qualities that made staying at the WL a unique experience have been removed layer by layer. (Go watch the episodes of "Great Hotels" on Youtube for the original feel of the WL (and GF, YC/BC, AKL, and GC). Those give me the same nostalgia feelings that Martin's EPCOT Center videos do.)
but with different tones......
