Wow, that is a long time before Poly opens. I guess this is a great time to take care of this however.

What needed to be refurbished? They just re-did the place.

Oh boy...

Guess the reports of “demand” continue to be completely exaggerated ?

Picture it: Orlando 2002.

Lots of “renovations” to hotels moved up or all of a sudden “planned”

Want to take a guess why?

Will they do anything to Ohana?

Same for Sequoia Lodge in Paris. That reopens May 1st at the moment.

I know what you’re thinking...

...48 foot steel stitch hanging off the Ceremonial House and Maui exclusive character greeting grotto...

So what's the story here? A real refurb or just some piddling to use as a good cover to not reopen an unneeded resort space?

Hopefully get the 70’s funk off the Tamu Lounge Roof (It’s there...I promise )

And lower the price $20?

I thought Disney had no money to spend on things?

Doesn't bode well for the Grand Floridian opening up anytime soon after the NBA leave. I guess they're going to have a refurbishment too.

The rooms are going to be redone along with some changes to the ceremonial house. The rooms haven’t been done in awhile and in my opinion need updating.

 

[Thelazer]

I mean if Disney would just come out and say.

"Demand isn't there, we have to adjust the park operating model, we won't need half the staff and resorts till 2022"

That actually MIGHT go over better than this BS. At least it cuts the speculation out.
Pick a date, stick with it.. instead of this willy-nilly week by week closure, opening, delay, rethink, adjustment, etc.

Rooms being re-done could be done one building at a time with the resort open.
So that's not a good reason.

They've closed half the main lodge before, kept it open while working.
The company is short on cash, but spending to rehab right now?

Nope, it all stinks.

I feel the upstairs area could be laid out better. It’s (Was) always so crowded, maybe rearrange it a bit, and maybe switch out some food and merch venues to different areas?

There are conspiracy theories that are just whack...

...and there are obvious cover stories.

Where does this one fall?

Can’t it be both?

Why stick with a date if its an evolving situation and it doesn't make business sense to re-open?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Can’t it be both?

Yes...but not here.

No conspiracy at all.

Except perhaps they won’t really do the rehabs. There’s a precedent there too.
