They heard I was coming.

It seems that they are half way through the refurb.

The lower floors on the South wing are open, including the Community Hall.

CMs are saying the North wing work will start on Sunday. Presumably starting with the upper floors as before.

I think parts of it look nice, especially the rug, artwork, and small pops of color, but overall it does read kind of bland especially in the bedroom. That said, the old rooms did too. This is the only resort where that kind of makes sense to me given the sleek minimalist vibe of the whole resort. But I am still waiting for Disney to wow me with a refurb. The closest they have come recently is Boulder Ridge which do look overall very nice. But a lot of others just look incredibly bland.

Who knows, I could be a minority. Maybe this is what people want, since many hotels, not just Disney, are making their designs more and more generic.

I assume folks are still staying in the old designed rooms still at this point?

Not a bad look on the refurb! Like most of in the art, though I do wish the fold downs kept with the theme that is in all(at least I think it's all) other Murphy's where characters are featured, usually bedding down for the night. It's a cute touch for the kids.

Yes.
The south wing is all done I believe.

They are now working on the upper floors of the North wing. So anyone staying in the north wing will be in a non- refurbed room.

Once they start work on the lower floors of the north wing, then everyone will be in a refurbished room; the remainder will be taken out of use.
