I see that Boulder Ridge was announced for a 2020 full refurbishment. Have any scheduling details been released? Is it likely that the refurb is done by January 2021?
Depends when they start. I don't know that they will even be starting until summer or later.Oh no! I didn't realize this was happening. We were going to try to book a few nights in November when our 7-month window opened, but maybe I should hold off and try to book for October of 2021. Maybe it will be finished by then???
Not good. That will hit all of our trips--November 2020, May 2021, and October 2021. And this is our favorite resort! How much of an inconvenience is staying at a resort during a refurb?Depends when they start. I don't know that they will even be starting until summer or later.
Officially, the refurb "begins 2020." They haven't attached a month.
Saratoga is going slow, though, so I'd assume later in the year, not earlier.
They said BRV would start in 2020 knowing that Saratoga won't be done and will be work in progress, so they're aware that this will be two resorts going at one time. They have worked on more than one resort at a time before.Do they typically work on one resort at a time?
Not a chance it is done by January 2021. It has not started and should take at least 18 months.
Thanks for the assurance, but our next trips will be our first with APs and we are excited to do Disney the way we've always wanted to do it. We want more resort time and less park time. We will actually probably NOT be in the parks from 9 to 5. And if there is noise, it just won't work. Guess I'll wait and see when they start and then decide about next October.This Is Of No Consequence .
DVC/BRV Owners since 2012. We have FOUR "Construction Pins" from the total chaos surrounding the CCV Construction Period . Also lived through the LAST BRV Reno - and still alive and happy .
What will occur:
1) Renos will be on a floor by floor basis. Not just for YOU, but also for the CREWS doing this work. Mask off a floor, kick everyone out, no one in the way.
2) There will be Noise. Probably from no sooner than 9:00 AM to no later than 5:00 PM. You will likely be at a Park.
Look, we had four GREAT Trips while WDW blew up the old pool, and built CABINS for CCV . We LOVED all of this. TRIED to get "Construction View". Seriously - it's all going to be just fine .
One month would be awesome!The last full refurb at VWL took 1 month.
If it takes any longer they just haven't hired enough people.
One month would be awesome!
The time required was awesome.
The quality of some of the work though was not - mostly the paint job on the cabinets. They didn't manage to paint the insides. In general though it was fairly amazing what they did in such a short time. If they had doubled it to 2 months they might have even managed to paint the inside of the cabinets!
