I was very fortunate last week to get upgraded at the Wilderness Lodge to concierge. Upon arriving on the 7th floor I quickly figured out why I had been given such a nice surprize, it was being rehabbed! Carpet was just replaced to a more modern light green with tree design. The lounge was in the process of being created. A large large kitchen type room, perfectly themed with granite counters, crushed granite floors, log cabin walls, mahogany cabinets, etc. Also large cast iron doors with amazing detailed work of a deer scene on it. They seemed to spare no expense on the lounge. Also being replaced was the lighting fixtures in all hallways and some furniture. At the one corner of the 7th floor they installed a dark wood mantle that houses a 50 in plasma. Talking to the concierge CM hes said that by end of 2006 all rooms (furniture and all), carpets, hallways, will be rehabbed. Top end custom furniture with flatscreen tvs will be installed in all rooms in the resort. Looks like WL is getting the contemporary/poly treatment. Nice to see Disney investing in their resorts again, they really are key to keeping people in their parks.
FYI taking the boat from WL to MK I could see the south wing rehab at the CR and I have to say it was some of the worst show Ive ever seen. Sheets over the open patio doors or old mattresses. The rooms looked like they were really ransacked for some reason. The wall they had up was too short and transparent.
