Beach Club Lobby Refurbishment

[JusticeDisney]

Anyone have any updates or knowledge about the magnitude or scope of this refurbishment? It's my understanding that work in the lobby has just begun, but I was wondering what kind of distraction or imposition this work is likely to cause.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Does the fact that they're refurbishing this right in the heart of Summer say anything about attendance numbers? It just seems odd to me that they wouldn't do it during a different time of year but I know there's been a lot of debate about what is the busiest season now.

That’s a totally fair question, but I guess if we are being totally honest, is there any time of the year that is slow?

Used to be January and September but those days are long gone now.

For sure.

Yeah that was when we did our first trip with the kids sometime around 2014, September. Wasn't packed like it is now that time of year.

Sigh… another lobby that will be blandified and IKEA’d?

It needs it. We were just there and the wall colors are so drab in the lobby. Yacht Club's lobby is gorgeous.

I hope not, but they seem to have forgotten lately how to be immersive in their theming. They seem to have forgotten what distinguished a Walt Disney World hotel from a Marriott.

We'll be there in two weeks. I'll try to remember to share some photos.

Is that the lobby or the rooms on the second floor?

Photos below are about two weeks old, 7/7.

Lobby near Cape May check-in. Workers on second floor. It does appear to be more painting.

This was different from initial photos. Bell Services was moved behind construction walls.

This was 7/10. Work was also beyond the lobby. This is the wing of rooms onnthe EPCOT side of the shop (exit door to villas walkway is on the left and not effected). I'm unsure if the rooms are in or out of service, but the sign for folks to not use the air conditioned hall to walk through to EPCOT indicate the rooms may not be in service.

Photo from Monday. Rooms are walled off.

Oh wow, that color is soooo much better! (in my opinion)

Any photos of the refurbed rooms and when the room refurbishments will be complete? Considering a stay there in December.
