We had a Cuisinart coffee maker back in September in our pre-refurb BRV 2BR. It took a cone filter. They've all been replaced with the Keurig Duo's, but there might be others floating around in villas awaiting refurb at other resorts.
It is extremely vertical right now. I am sitting here watching the construction and my guess is that some of the concrete panels are what I would consider to be the 9th or 10th floor. By next year I'm pretty sure it will be mostly inside work happening with probably some exterior cosmetic work.
I have stayed in these rooms twice over the past 6 months. I absolutely love them! Didn’t experience noise issues either, but since many of them have connecting doors to the next studio, I’ve heard that if you tuck a towel underneath that door it can help minimize.
Yeek. Any photos of what it looks like in relation to the surroundings?
Are you talking this May - 2023? They've only begun to go vertical with one portion of the Poly building. If you check the concept art, there are still a lot more sections that need to go up yet. They won't be working on the indoor portions until next year likely.Sounds like Poly Tower work may be primarily indoors by the time we're at VGF1 in early May.
It is a bit concerning to learn there's lots of cart traffic at the GF, though. I'm hoping the construction company will have less need for traffic at the GF when we're there. DH needs his afternoon naps and is a very light sleeper.
We considered switching to BWV when initially planning our stay but feared both our homes would be tied up in construction "fun." Lucky us! That's addonitis encouraging us to buy into another resort, I'm certain.
Oh, well. We'll cope, and coping at Disney sure beats doing that elsewhere.

I was gonna say earlier that they have 4 levels of the elevator/stair core done and a few additional panels in place. Not sure how anyone can get “9th or 10th floor” out of that.Where the Poly Tower is currently VS. concept art:
(A long way to go yet. They've only begun a small part of the middle section so far...)
Not to mention the fact there are still many more wings that haven't started to go vertical yet. From the concept art, maybe 1/10th of the entire building has gone vertical?
If I could guess, I would think that they would wait until Easter / Spring Break crowds are over before they start. It would make sense that they'd try to get it done before November. The lobby is such a big draw at Christmas, so May-Oct timeline seems most likely? Hopefully it won't take that long, though.
