Animal Kingdom Refurbishment 2025

Do you think we will get dishwashers in studios? I know apart of their environmental pledge, they are including it in the new PolyTower. I would think, Animal Kingdom would fit that mold as well and would be really cool seeing that become a norm when hard refurbishments come up.

I think it’s unlikely that they’ll retrofit dishwashers into existing buildings. Disney loathes doing new plumbing / real electrical on refurbs, that’s why nothing ever moves.
 
Chances we see intricately detailed and themed furniture like they have now?

I know...I know....little to none.
 
We are looking at a Jambo villa at the end of March, should I have any concern about construction or refurbishment? I don’t see anything on the booking site and I wasn’t sure if there is any updated info since this thread was started.

AFAIK there is no updated info.. I have a big family trip in the works which will use a lot of points for a GV in Jambo planned for Oct. ‘25 & I’m watching like a hawk for AKV refurb. news & so far I’ve seen nothing, no permits pulled & no firm dates announced.
Hopefully they’ll pull inventory from booking before 11 months so if needed I can pivot to Kidani & once it starts the AKV refurb will run on schedule & we won’t have a repeat of the BWV debacle.

Following this thread for info as we are in a similar situation. Would like to book a GV for a family trip at the end of Aug 2025 but I think refurbishment updates throughout the year will swing it.
 
starting to think about where we'd like to stay for a November 2025 trip and it seems unlikely that the refurb will be done by then, right?
 
Pretty frustrating they still haven’t made any announcements about this. Is it still likely they are actually planning to do the refurbishment in 2025?
 
would love to get an update of some kind!

I would think so. Sometimes Disney doesn’t make a big deal out of refurbs, like the recent BCV and BRV redos. They just kind of happen.

The thing is, there doesn’t seem to be any chunks of dates blocked out for rooms in 2025 that I’ve seen or heard of yet?
 
I haven't been monitoring inventory-for-refurbs for a few months. The silent return-to-inventory (where an inventory dip is later erased) took the wind out of my sails.
Well that’s it then you don’t get your Disboards paycheck this month 🙃

(Can’t blame you)
 
It should be easier to plan our vacations 11 months out around refurbishments, which often have quite an impact on the overall look and feel of the resort (e.g., VGF). Refurb timelines to complete are also becoming quite extended…
 
What's the best way or place to stay undated about refurbishments? We are going to plan an early summer trip very soon.
