Central Reservation's job is to book reservations. They do not make the decisions as to when major renovations will be done, or the affect that renovation will have.
They only know about it when they are told. Also the CM's that work at the affected resort don't make the decision even including the General Manager. He/she will be notified of the decision just like everyone else.
Disney World is a "huge" company with many facets and departments.
When you booked your reservation just 5 days ago I assure you the person who booked it knew nothing about this.
I understand completely how disappointing it is for those affected. However Disney resorts are open 365 days year round.
If you do a search for POFQ and PORiverside you will see comments from guests that have stated the resorts were beginning to show their age.
There would never be a time when someone was not inconvenienced by a major renovation, but Disney guests expect a level of quality at the resorts that can only be maintained with such a project.
