We got the same letter, kept our room, and stayed CL last week (Jan 9-16). We neither saw nor heard any noise, construction, or disruption. Honestly, the only intolerable noise was in the club lounge one day when a family let their children run (full on RUN) around screaming through the lounge while people were trying to carry food and drink to the tables.
But as for refurb, we were not bothered by anything, and we didn't see any refurb activity.
Hope that helps!
Glad you had a great stay and weren't inconvenienced by any noise, construction, etc. (with the exception of the kids running and screaming through the lounge ).
I've been stalking/ reading this forum for months now as I have a trip planned 13-19 August. Right now I have booked CL at the Poly with the regular DP but am thinking of dropping it. I know the CL offerings don't replace meals but I'm wondering if it would be enough to grab something quick in the morning for breakfast before heading to the parks? We did the DP in 2014 but will now have another "adult" added and my son whose turned 3 in October to pay for so I am still doing the cost estimates on whether or not we'd be better off paying OOP. Anyone have any insights on CL and the DP? Also, I realize this is a DP question but since it is specific to CL I thought it would be better off posted here. Please let me know if I am incorrect. Thank you!
The breakfast offerings (IMO) are sufficient if you're looking for something quick before heading out for the day. As far as the DDP, having that with CL is a personal preference and while some feel it's too much food, we enjoy it with or without CL. When we stay CL it's more for the lounge and having another place to relax instead of in the room or around the resort. The food offerings are a nice perk, but that's not our main reason for staying CL. We have sit down meals every night for dinner whether we stay CL or not, so the DDP comes in handy for us. With that said, if you don't think you'll eat enough meals to justify the DDP, I'd pay OOP; otherwise, I don't think the DDP is a bad idea when staying CL (but that's just me ).
