This is great, as our home resort and also our favorite, a hard goods refurb is much needed here. Hopefully there's a way to get a refurbished room in December.

(grabs my temples and shuts my eyes, thinking outloud) Don't de-identify the rooms, don't de-identify the rooms, don't de-......

In all seriousness, I hope they don't bland-up these resorts with similar "loss of themeing" like the previous ones. This is my DVC home resort and I am glad I have a week stay in a 1bd room Value for my 50th B-Day in April 2026. Since Kadani will be almost finished by then, I will at least know if my Jambo room (we have been fortunate to stay in the same room 3 times now, THANKS TOURINGPLANS ROOM REQUEST SERVICE:)) will be the final fully themed stay.


(Edit to add) PS. wow I really need to update my signature line.

Coming soon: your new Marriott rooms “inspired by” the Animal Kingdom: white walls and beds with a few paintings of animals on the wall and Lion King accents on the curtain.

I think it'll be Lion King art on the walls and reveal once the Murphy bed is pulled down but regular curtains. Might have some of the kitchen tile backsplash be " African inspired" patterns.
