Any word or any prep work being done for new DVC cabins?

Is there anywhere dogs can go for water fun like a swimming hole on Disney property?

No because of alligators.

The dog park is sometimes a mud hole, lol

What a drag. I was hoping a small kiddie pool or splash area.
That's really too bad.

I just read the opening date. July 1 seems very quick, but I guess moving a trailer in and hooking it up doesn't take too much.

All you need is fresh water. (Well, brackish water works too-Everglades). The alligators don't know or care the difference between natural and man made....


I always check the pool before getting in. Especially at night.

Hrm, we already have room reservations at the Cabins for after this date this year...I wonder what will happen with that....

I wondered the same thing. I checked various dates and there is still availability showing. Tempted to book another trip for after opening.

I’m tempted to do the same

I'm wondering if only some cabins will be converted by the July 1st estimated opening date. Current reservations for the cabins after that date could be in the old or new style depending on what's available. Just a guess.

We lived in Daytona Beach for 5 years, never had an issue with gators but insects is a whole other topic. Fleas are the worst!

Wild, I just learned of Yellow flies. Where'd the heck they come from?!

Yellow Flies are most active April through June but can be found through November. The Yellow Fly female is a fierce bitter and the males feed on nectar and pollen. The bites from the females are painful, itchy and can swell.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to move furniture around in the cabins?

Late April Reservation

In my house our sofa is head on with the TV, at the cabins it's not.

Current


My ideal setting. Is this possible?

Doh, I forgot about the hanging lamp at the dinning table. Hmm.

I would think the sofa being a Murphy bed would preclude moving it.

I thought they removed all the murphy beds and replaced them with sofa sleepers. ?

This is a murphy bed


All the videos I've seen dated 2022 - 2023 all show a sofa.

Yes, I think the new refurbed cabins have done away with the sofa bed and gone to the Murphy bed.

Yes, I think the new refurbed cabins have done away with the sofa bed and gone to the Murphy bed.

I believe it's the other way around.

The Cabins were remodeled in 2016, and the Murphy Bed in the living room was replaced with a Queen size pull-out sofa bed.​

Thanks, I saw those but I'll be there in late April so I'm pretty sure we'll be getting the current Cabin.

I'm not trying to be some off the cuff decorator here, my motives in moving the furniture around has many merits.
Watching TV is just obvious. The other is the placement of the Large dog crate kennel. So again, is it possible to move the sofa & dining table? Has anyone done this?
