The art looks like Pop Art to me! The pops of orange, the green fabric on chair, all fits the theme.
I don't need bedspreads to be themed, just clean.
I just explained how. Also that type of pop art is transcendent of decade (popular from the 60's until today). You don't need to agree with my explanation.

I missed the plaids in the room. The black and white buffalo check on the chair. The red plaid curtains. And the dark patterned sleeper sofa. It was supposed to represent the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone. I'm really glad they kept the pine cone carpet in the corridors. When we stayed in 2013, they were doing model rooms for the renovation. Just down the hall from where we were staying, they were working on a room. They removed the hallway carpet and replaced it with some Southwest-looking carpet (Navaho theming?) and put in some similar wall paper outside the two rooms they did over. It was awful I was so glad to see that they didn't change out the carpet. But the sofa is now a totally uncomfortable for sitting beige. Same with the chair, except it is orange fabric for the chair and a simulated leather bottom cushion (doesn't go at all). The curtains are not so bad. The kitchen cabinets were forest green and are now off white. The tile back splash seems out of place (it's still green and white)....Ok so on to our beloved WLV... aka BRV;-)
Wow his was the 1st time that I have seen what people are talking about when they “complain” about WLV.
Ok room is dark, somehow it never bothered me. Maybe it didn’t help I was on the 2nd floor facing WL close to walkway. Not my room request but hey... no worries
My problem is NO MICKEY/Disney THEMING in the ROOM. Besides the mickey ears in the Hallway ceiling corners.... No Hidden Mickeys! Not in the carpet, shower curtain, pictures on wall, stamps on furniture...nothing...just generic. Apparently we still have the ceiling fan though
So yes I love my DVC, but come on imagineers, yes we like clean crisp rooms..... but don’t take the Mickey.... out of well... Mickey’s World ;-)
Thanks

Funny you mention those specifically. We were at AKL Kindani last week and they still have them. DROVE ME BONKERS! Just in the way when you go to sleep and always ended up bunched up on the floor. I had forgotten how big a PITA they were
Is Disney taking the 'Mickey' out of its resorts?
Yes
Disney is removing the Disney from the rooms,
creating a generic room across the property
and rooms that could be any room, any where.
It doesn't have to be Mickey or Princesses or Pirates,
but it should be themed with details that when you wake up in your room,
you know what hotel you are at (by theme) and it's Disney.
Used to love hunting hidden Mickey's everywhere. They were not in your face but they were nods to Disney and part of what made it a special place to stay. Lots of folks want the full Disney immersion, the bubble ... and they pay extra for that.
This last round of renovation that hotels are getting are generic in color, furnishings, decorative touches and literally could be any hotel any where. POP Century rooms, while workable for us, are sterile hospital rooms, are mostly white, with white & brown laminate furnishings. Grand Floridian, if it weren't for the railing on the balcony in the room photos, wouldn't have known it was anything more than a mass branded hotel room offsite. Coronado, excellent makeover for a business and convention hotel ... Disney look, none.
It is what it is, it will only get worse.
This could be a Disney room, but it's an offsite room close to Disney that gives me more for less. There are plenty like it.
Costs about or less than POP, similar color range but way more of it, not sterile, room costs less and provides me much more including breakfast!
POP ...
