When I saw this the other day I was scared it was going the way of the Polynesian, would not surprise me one bit if it did, someday. But there was a lot of work outside as well so it looks to be a refurbishment.
One of the crew working on it estimated 2 -6 weeks.

I took a project management class in college and if I remember correctly (which I probably don't), that sounds about right.

It better be done. I was originally booked at the Poly and moved specifically to Wilderness because there were no refurbs announced for that time. I'm NOT going to pay "Deluxe" prices if I'm not getting a Deluxe experience and looking at scaffolding everyday. I need to speak to the "guy" immediately!

Why is it that Disney wants to remove the relaxing sounds of water running over rocks? Cause, you know, everyone loves hearing the voices of more annoying tourists peeved that their son, Johnny, hit the ground by the pool even though the lifeguard said, "NO RUNNING"

Was there a few weeks ago and the water feature was dry and the "Pardon our pixie dust" signs were out. But thankfully there were no walls around it. Despite the dry falls, I still managed to take a few awesome nighttime photos of the area.
Here's hoping the refurb doesn't take too long. Looking forward to seeing it with water the next time we go.

I really hope it is a true refurb and not a removal situation. I checked in week before last and did not expect it.
I was especially unenthused to discover they had given me an "upgrade" from Woods view (which I wanted and therefore booked) to a "lovely" Construction, er, Courtyard View and couldn't switch us until the next day. We lost a lot of park time thanks to that "upgrade". I'm glad we moved though; for me, between the walls and the construction workers in the daylight, it looked really bad.

Since running water tends to make a majority of patrons need to use the washroom. This increases the amount of wastewater generated. IF the water feature is removed, THEN fewer patrons will use the washroom. SUCH THAT, less wastewater will be generated AND will incur the expense of treatment. THERFORE, removal of the water feature will reduce operational expense.
I write this in jest..... but are they?
