So long as it is not an "Incredibles" or any other shoehorned IP nonsense, this is spectacular news.

thank God. I stayed there in 2022 in a studio and it was so old/tired. I had forgotten my phone charger and there were ZERO USB ports in the room.

I'm sure it will feature IP, as it has to. But, hopefully they keep it subtle in the artwork. I think going a Steakhouse 71 approach and/or modern art with IP touches would work just fine.

↩ replying to Epcot82GuyThere are "Disney touches" vs. overt IP injection. I'm hoping that this maintains DVC's use of the former and not Bob's desire for the latter.

Yes this is my father’s DVC home base and the rooms are looking very dated and worn down. Second the note about lack of usb ports.

Bay Lake Tower needs nods to classic vacation kingdom WDW, Monorail touches, with the mid century modern/Contemporary/original Tomorrowland feel.......not forced IP.

↩ replying to monothingieYes it needs refreshing, and no it doesnt need Edna, Frozone, and the Parrs smeared all over the walls, throw pillows, framed art etc. Let’s keep it classy Disney!

I'm honestly scared about this; hopefully they leave it with the same vibe and just updated. The good news is that thus far DVC has been somewhat protected from the onslaught of IP.

Seems like they will start at the bottom and head up. Standard view (all lower floors) are available this summer but then not September 1 through about Thanksgiving. They usually sell out well before 7 months because of the attractive points requirement but their inventory seems artificially low through late winter next year. I presume they want the fourth floor done quickly to minimize impact on the bridge.

↩ replying to ToTBellHopThat seems odd. Wouldn’t it be better to start at the top, so that if they hit any major snafus with plumbing it doesn’t affect rooms already done?
Standard studios usually sell out fast at any time of the year. Even 1 & 2 beds are hard to get. There’s a lot of walking that happens with those rooms.

↩ replying to nickysHot and cold / sprinklers feed upward and septic/drainage flows downward. Either way you start one is "at risk".

↩ replying to rsmInteresting. Although you’d think the latter would cause more damage should there be an issue.

As for me, a whole year is too much for the renovation of the hotel. What are they going to do?
J
↩ replying to MarissaBullockIt's a full refurbishment of all rooms. They strip each room down to the studs and redo everything.
R
It's about time. Have they released what the refurb rooms will look like?
