You cannot assume that the closing of the boardwalk view rooms from Sep to Nov 2023 indicates the time when the internal boardwalk view rooms will be refurbished or when the refurb of BWV will actually begin (more likely much earlier in 2023). Likely, that two-month closure is more related to some outside work that is planned. Moreover, if one assumes they will be doing a refurb of all the internal boardwalk rooms at once during that two month period, that would also require the closure of the large number of pool/garden view rooms that are across the hall from the boardwalk view rooms to be out of service, because they need to close the hallways when refurbing the rooms on either side to allow for the workers carts, inlcludng carts taking away things removed and supplying replacement items.
So a year from September 2023? We were hoping to book our welcome home trip April 2024. I wonder how much construction will still be going on then?
Cabinets out and walls down to studs — that’s what I expect for the renovation, so maybe they are starting! That’s good news, to me!
I hope we won’t lose the ceiling fans, but you’re probably right. However, I do hope they update the HVAC with a digital thermostat, so we don’t have to guess what we’ll get when we move the slider toward the “warmer” or “colder” end!thanks for the update. I’m guessing we will lose our ceiling fans, like the other remodels. Probably change out the AC system too.
I agree. I prefer the old one. Drop it to the coldest setting and be done with it. I hate that the digital won’t go lower than I want. I usually keep my night time setting about 62 at home.
Here now, and when we arrived, that’s where it was, way too cold for us, and I had to adjust it several times to find the sweet spot.
No published schedule. Based on post #24 in this thread, it may have begun.
Sounds like a test room. They sometimes redo one or 2 then see what works and what don't.
They need to require the designer to stay in the test room for a week, along with their family, for a “real world” test to be sure the room is functional as well as pretty, in every detail.
Any ideas?
Inventory is low. While they are not saying, I’m pretty sure garden view rooms are out of inventory too, just not all of them. Remember that in the hallway of standard rooms, across from them are garden rooms. They certainly are not going to do only one side of the hall, so doing both standard and garden that are in the same area at the same time. I’m sure this is the same process when they do the bw view rooms in the fall which have garden view rooms in the same hall.I'm trying to book a week in a 2 bed in January 2024. Perferably BW view but I'll take what I can get. 11 month window is Jan 7/24. I've been at this a few days and the first day is always booked. I thought this was for marathon weekend, but the 7th is the Sunday of that weekend. If people are walking for MLK weekend, wouldn't they book as far out as possible? Jan 7 - 13th can be booked today, but the rest of the week is showing availability. I'll be really disappointed if I can't get BW. I also have BC points which is fully available, but I don't have enough BC points for a 2 bed.
