Kinda starting to debate myself on what is important enough to be included in this thread. Stuff like hotel pool refurbs are maybe minor enough to not include, but if it helps people with trip planning then maybe not.

Click to expand...
I would say even small refurbs, such as the reworking on bricks on Main Street's sidewalks, are important enough to include. That said, if adding such minor changes are too much work then don't bother.
