Didn't check out the hallways and now I wish I had. I worry because it seems like the rehabs lately are missing the mark and the Boardwalk is due next year. I hope they don't take it's charm away like they have at some of the others.Just got back from two weeks resort hopping. Didn't stay at CR but went there a few times to check out the renovations in the public areas. Downstairs check-in is very nice and the little tribute area to Mary Blair was cool. Cast members were great and service at Steakhouse 71 was wonderful. All that said, I ventured upstairs to snoop around the "renovated" hallways. Now in all fairness I did not see a room, but I was shocked at the poor quality. I know this has been discussed before but seeing it for yourself is so disappointing. The Incredibles wallpaper/stickers on the walls look pretty bad up close. Lots of bubbles or maybe the walls weren't smooth enough. Elevator doors/trim still all chewed up. I've read there are quality problems in the rooms as well. We stayed in the Poly DVC rooms and Copper Creek Villas and the quality was so much better. I was excited for the CR update and wanted to love the mid-century vibe, but I will not pay those rates for that level of quality. Maybe they tried to go fast to get it reopened.
