Will MS give you an info if you call?April 1 is our check in date.
The last time I called to add a night at PVB on to the end of our stay the agent said she has a friend that is working construction over at BWV and that they are hoping to have opened some rooms by then. I did not think to ask about murphy beds at that time because I had only heard of two 1 bedrooms that did not have them. Maybe I will give them a call today. I have been wondering if they are planning to move you if they note your account and let you know if you call in before they contact you or if they only make calls out for this. Has anyone been moved when you called in?Will MS give you an info if you call?
I must say even though it is going slow at least it is moving. BCV they just paused for a while before resuming and BRV took a little while and it is a smaller resort (BWV has more studios than BRV has rooms!!).I will say though, as many have, that whatever is going on over at the Boardwalk with construction delays is a bit ridiculous. All construction is moving slowly...like a snail slowly.
Yes, I do agree with you about that. The rooms are at least moving along. The food options, not so much.I must say even though it is going slow at least it is moving.

So I did give them a call and they have zero information regarding the refurbishment or the murphy bed shortage. It was worth a shot. She did say if they move me it will not be noted on my account first. I will be contacted via phone. I did see on a facebook post that a recent (last week) guest was able to peek in and the carpets have not been changed. This doesn't mean much since I'm sure that's last with all of the workers and furniture in and out. However, they also asked a construction worker about how it was going and his response was slow. I think I should start expecting that we will be moved.Will MS give you an info if you call?
We check in a few days before you and haven’t received a call yet. I think you should receive a refurbished room.So I did give them a call and they have zero information regarding the refurbishment or the murphy bed shortage. It was worth a shot.

We check in on 3/23, into a standard studio, and also have not been contacted to switch yet.We check in a few days before you and haven’t received a call yet. I think you should receive a refurbished room.
Good to hear. Maybe those rooms that are closest to the lobby will be finished. There are several standard studios in that location. Please report back if you are contacted to move if you don't mind. If you aren't moved, I would love to hear if they have a new murphy bed in your studio upon check in. Enjoy your trip!We check in on 3/23, into a standard studio, and also have not been contacted to switch yet.
I will definitely update the group. We don't mind if we are switched to the Inn or another room category, but I'm just nervous we will get a call to switch resorts completely.Good to hear.

All 3 at the same time? Or just fan and up?Found it! I needed the thermostat in the new BWV to go lower than 68. I found the tic tok to tell me how. Push mode then fan then up at the same time and release. Then you should be able to use the arrows to lower the temp.
I have a BWV standard studio booked, and this is how I feel as well. I don't mind being moved to the Inn side, or would be fine with a studio at BCV (although that's unlikely), but don't want to be sent to another resort. I also have two rented stays, so two different reservations. I'd really dislike being sent somewhere for one of them, causing a split stay at two resorts. I'm not there until May 5th, so still lots of time, but sounds like the renovations are going slowly.We don't mind if we are switched to the Inn or another room category, but I'm just nervous we will get a call to switch resorts completely.
You're not the only one feeling this way! Similar to you, I was disciplined and on top of booking this specific resort well ahead of time. I was hopeful many of these things would be near completion by now, but following people's testimonies the last few months, I became pessimistic. I am glad I am not the only one feeling this way.I was so excited to get the two standard studios 11 months out because I wanted to treat my family to the Boardwalk. We were supposed to have, according to the original timelines, finished rooms with murphy beds, cake bake, blue ribbon, and now we may not have any of that. Big River is also gone, not that we had ever been. I'm sure I'm overreacting and everything will be fine. It is Disney after all. The only thing that could really be a problem is the adults and my older teen on the old pull out couches. I just wish we had answers, but I know better than to rely on original timelines and should have planned accordingly. I will say though, as many have, that whatever is going on over at the Boardwalk with construction delays is a bit ridiculous. All construction is moving slowly...like a snail slowly.
From my understanding it is the lack of a real kitchenette. BWV has microwave, toaster and a real fridge. The BWI room has just a beverage cooler.What is major differences between
BWV studio and BBI Inn room?

Yes this and also the beds. Studio will have a queen bed and pull down murphy bed as well as a single pull down under the tv. Inn room has two queen beds and a couch that fold down for a twin bed. Both sleep 5.From my understanding it is the lack of a real kitchenette. BWV has microwave, toaster and a real fridge. The BWI room has just a beverage cooler.
