About darn time! Given the harder than usual availability I do believe this should be true!According to a report on the DIS forum, the refurb started this morning on the 5th floor.

And I don’t think there have even been permits yet for BCV. At least for BRV we knew it could potentially start around now.About darn time! Given the harder than usual availability I do believe this should be true!
Just realized we've heard nothing on BCV refresh either![]()
Yep! It was just one of those "huh" moments for me today. It was on the schedule but it has only been 6 years so I wonder if 2022 for that meant like Dec 2022 or if supplies also delayed some.And I don’t think there have even been permits yet for BCV.

Maybe they’re finally getting tired of people bashing the design before seeing it in person and then thinking that it isn’t as bad as they thought, but of course, those people aren’t willing to admit that they were wrong.Weird that we haven't seen concept art, isn't it?
Not really. Never saw anything for recent refurbs. Only brand new seem to get concept art or model rooms.Weird that we haven't seen concept art, isn't it?
The DIS forum have almost daily updates on it. 4th & 5th floors have plastic down on hall carpets and reports of old furniture being removed.Any update on this? Is it really happening? We already have March reservations, so hoping that they are all done, or we at least get a refurbished room.
@wdwmagic any word from your side?
Thanks!The DIS forum have almost daily updates on it. 4th & 5th floors have plastic down on hall carpets and reports of old furniture being removed.
I find that TV murphy pretty useful, what is your issue?It's about bloody time. Hoping they'll be replacing that pullout sofa with the murphy bed as they've done at other resorts. Just don't put a bed in the TV console.
Yup, people and their darn opinions on a forum. They should love it all. Given how Genie has been recived both before it was launched and since the powers that be don't care much what we think.Any update on this? Is it really happening?

I actually just use the closets and then the actual luggage I bring, many hotels I stay in are like this, though I can see how it gets away from the home away from home concept. I guess I prefer the functionality of being able to sleep another kid over storage space(we never even use that space in the coffee), but I can see your point of view.The Murphy bed under the TV removes storage space.
At SSR for example, there is one solitary storage cube in the whole living room. Yet there are three sleeping spaces in the room. No closet, no drawers, nada. Where are people expected to put their clothes?
The closets are in the master suite though. We book 1 beds so our adult kids sleep in the living room. I don’t want them coming into our room to get their clothes. The whole point of DVC was to have privacy. Otherwise we might as well be in one room.I actually just use the closets and then the actual luggage I bring, many hotels I stay in are like this, though I can see how it gets away from the home away from home concept.

I think that's an exaggeration. As it stands now it's what, one couch? So the kids have to share a bed. Which mine will not do so we end up with no privacy lol. Make them live out of their suitcases for a few days. I mean adult kids like to hang up cloths do they don't wrinkle anyway so they are using those closets no matter what.The closets are in the master suite though.

What’s an exaggeration? My reasons for buying DVC?? Or the lack of storage? I really don’t want the kids coming in when we are sleeping. If you don’t mind that, then great.I think that's an exaggeration. As it stands now it's what, one couch? So the kids have to share a bed. Which mine will not do so we end up with no privacy lol.

I am saying its an exaggeration to say having a one bedroom in SSR is the same as having a studio is all. It's not that bad. But we are at different points, so I can see where the TV muphy is not as useful in the future, but I am sure there are some who would rather have a more comfortable couch than a fold out, can't please everyone.What’s an exaggeration?

SSR added the Murphy bed, so we considered booking a 1-bed. But then friends confirmed there was no storage.
We like to have a living room where we can actually sit and relax, not have clothes strewn all over the place and suitcases stuffed in the corner. At Bay Lake, OKW and Kidani, where they have the sleeper chair, there is drawer and closet space for clothes in the living room / hall area. Even at places like BCV where one quite happily slept on an air bed, there is storage space. At Riviera they built in storage space.
There isn’t even a hall closet at SSR. They missed a trick with the refurb. IMO.
