I am really surprised they are putting people here. I understood there was construction, but it exceeded anything I imagined. I really thought paying extra for water/pool view would lessen our chances of it. We are very fortunate to be local and try out a lot of resorts. I feel horrific if this was someone's Once Ever Disney trip. All my kids agreed we didn't need to stay there again. (But they did love the splash pad and pool!)
I'm not necessarily surprised that they're still keeping rooms opened. But I am surprised that they're charging as much as they are. When we booked, I booked preferred with an AP discount and it was cheaper than a standard room with any other discount (AP wasn't available) And those standard rooms for April were still well over $200 per night.
