Yacht Club Room Renovations

[wdwfan22]

They are not that far along with the number of rooms completed. I don't know that I'm a fan of these rooms. Very basic and look like a typical Marriott room.

They're lacking on the theme, but they're a nice upgrade. A bit on the generic side, but not horrible. I'm also pretty impressed photos have already emerged from reported guests staying in the upgraded rooms.

Agree that these rooms look generic. We enjoy the Disney touches and theming which separates Disney from other hotels. I read that they had two sample rooms created...are we sure this is the one they went with?Did a guest actually stay in this room or is this a sneak peak?

That is the room they went with. I'm in one just like it right now.

Very interesting. Did they give you an idea of how many rooms they have completed?

And is that laminate flooring over carpet in the rooms?

Bummer. We preferred the old decor. The new stuff looks nice and reminds me of the decor found on the Disney cruise ships, especially the Dream. This just looks a little generic to me.

I just stayed at the Yacht two nights ago and was in an old room. We were on the third floor. Maybe only the 4th and 5th floors are the only rooms complete at this point?

Just completed an 8-day stay at Yacht Club. We were on the third floor and saw workers renovating the entire fourth floor throughout the day. Really, really big crew which was working on maybe tons of rooms all at the same time.

We are staying in June and I'm wondering too. Seems 5th floor is complete and 4th MAY be as well.

Photo update as of Wednesday, July 5, 2017. The Yacht Club Resort room refurbishment is complete for all upper floors. Only the ground floor remains in work. Although I don't have room photos, here are a few photos of the new hallway carpet, wall décor, and passageway furniture. In my opinion, the furniture is more "nautical modern." The old furniture was more "colonial nautical," which is still in the main lobby.

Carpet looks really nice. Old hallway carpet was in pretty rough shape on the third floor earlier this year.
