Maybe it's just me, but I just don't think that a deeply themed and story-based environment such as Port Orleans is really the right place for the latest trendy fashionable hotel chain look. It also seems a real waste, given that the 3,000+ comforters were only a year or two old after the last refit.
What a shame, I feel that Disney really can (and did!) do better than this.

With or without a runner at some future stage, still bland.
