Really like the look of those Sequoia Lodge rooms and how the character details are more subtle

They still look very dark though.
I can’t understand why the first rooms are still 9 months away from being ready.

I feel very much the same. They are striking a nice balance in incorporating IPs without making it cartoony. The choices of Bambi and Pocahontas are also the most suited to the feel of the hotel rather than the most commercial, which is refreshing if they are going to go this route.

Looks like it will still be the best hotel at the resort... at least for me!

I think that's more the photo they took, than the actual lighting.

Here's another angle with a less subtle Bambi reference in the bathroom

Maybe a bit better. But the light bulb colour against the dark wood behind the bed gives it a gloomy look. They could have gone for a lighter wood tone for a start.

I liked the Bambi touches before. If it’s just the cushions, that’s not really doing it justice. The bathroom looks OK.

Overall I thought the lighting wax poor when I stayed. That was my main criticism-and it doesn’t look any better.

As much as I loved the lounge, I can’t say I love the rooms. I’ll wait for a room tour to make up my mind fully. So far it’s 5/10 at best.

That big building will only seat 120 people? Is that a typo?

I read somewhere else that the terrace has 120 seats, not the whole restaurant.

Well it’s definitely a new look.

Agreed, but keep in mind that with photography lighting and white balance can definitely look different in a picture than to the eye. so it might loek brighter in person.
