Old Key West refurb is 80% complete
I’m wondering when GCV will get a refurb. Just stayed in a studio on Friday night after staying in a regular GCH room for 3 nights and only the bed frame/mattress were new. Rest of the room didn’t receive the updates that the rest of the hotel did.

DVC resorts will be getting the larger attached to shower H2O bottles like the other Disney resorts.

They also will be using a new type of sofa sleeper that folds from the wall.

I like the Murphy bed idea.

But I have an extremely weird hatred of those bottles bolted to the wall.

Oh boy, like x1000 on that bigger pulldown bed. Once my son actually gets tall the pullout couch/small pulldown bed is not gonna cut it anymore.

Same here. I despise those bottles. They've had them in even more upscale hotels in Montreal for years, and I just find the entire thing... icky, for lack of a better word. I'll bring my own stuff. And complain about it.

Agreed. I liked having the large bottles, but as somebody who does actually take baths sometimes instead of showers, they are not meant for you to be sitting down and be able to get to them. Luckily, the housekeeper at ASMo forgot to lock ours up the second night we were there last time, and I could actually pull the whole bottle down and put it on the edge of the tub.
