This had confused me when I saw. Yacht rooms are recently fully renovated and are some of the best in style and function. Anyone have some details?

Literally neither article gives an explanation of changes. These rooms were so recently refurbed…it’s odd.

The resorts receive a hard goods refurb approximately every 7 years and soft goods about half way between those. Pretty sure the last hard goods refurb at Yacht was 2017-2018.

Thank you so much for answering the question that I could not. By the way, wasn't the Beach Club just renovated last year? I wonder (I have no idea) if the new renovation at Yacht Club will look similar to it:

Which is wild because Yacht had those ship wheel headboards and low boy white commode from opening year to 2017. Those rooms were dated so fast!!! The new rooms I still think are so well done.

Agreed. We stayed at Yacht Club last August (booked what was then standard garden view but got a free upgrade to water view) and our room was beautifully functional, tastefully themed, and had flooring and furnishings that still looked brand new.

The goal is to refurbish the rooms before they look worn and tired.

Of course that's a great goal, but we know that doesn't always happen. Glad to see they're staying on top of it.

That’s so true, and yet look how Disney Resorts have conditioned me with their behavior to expect the rooms to look worn and dated for several years first!
You really did just open my mind with that single comment.

The removal of carpet actually aids greatly in this. Carpet is one of the first things that starts to make the rooms look worn and tired.

Which Disney Resorts, to this day, still have carpet inside? Any?

Not many on the East coast.

I know Vero and Riviera do. Grand Floridian and Contemporary have carpet under the beds. I think OKW might have it in the studios still.

West coast and Aulani still have lots of carpet

The Garden Wing of the Contemporary does have wall to wall carpet in guest rooms.

I wonder if this is much to do with the rooms that allow dogs inside, and whether they require refurb sooner than others?

This refurb isn’t happening sooner. It’s right on schedule.

FWIW, AKL seems to be having the floors in the lobby worked on. Watched some videos lately and part of lobby have been roped off.
