I know the BCV refurb is about to begin (or maybe just began?) but does anyone have an idea of how long it will take? Do you think the refurbed rooms will be available Oct/Nov?
I have the same question. We will be there early November. i haven't seen anything about it having started. Fingers crossed that it done, but I am beginning to think that it won't be done.
I am interested to know as well! I keep reading that they are supposed to start 1/22. Hoping that they finish later this year. We were going to book BCV this June but went with Poly instead because we wanted to avoid construction and do BCV after the remodeling is complete!
From the DVC News article on the 2015 annual meeting
Among the refurbishment projects on tap for 2016 are:
Disney's Beach Club Villas - project was delayed from 2015 to allow designers additional time for planning. Renovations to bathroom were not originally planned, but have since been added to this project. Bathroom renvoation will include new tile work, showers and a soaker tub. Scheduled to begin in January 2016.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - soft goods refurbishment starting at Jambo House and immediately followed by Kidani Village.
Disney's Vero Beach Resort - soft goods and hard goods refurbishment.
Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel - soft goods refurbishment in late 2016; still in design phase, no concept was shown.
Treehouse Villas - emhphasis on lighter and brighter; new draperies in the room
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort - soft goods refurbishment with design still under development; note window sheers in concept, addressing a common member complaint.
