What's funny? Curious.

What could they have removed from the rooms? There's hardly any furniture in them...perhaps the convention area needs some work, but highly doubtful those are in great demand right now anyways.

Well, they have to change back every single bed because they made them all California Kings for the long legged players.

They did this at the YC in a matter of hours, I'm told. Keep in mind, not every room in the resort (or GF) is currently filled.

Just saw Disney is testing projections on castle

So maybe the news is Fireworks returning, and possibly tickets for Christmas party?

I'm laughing that you posted that straight after my post. That is all.

I really can’t see fireworks returning for a long time unfortunately. And the closure of Poly leads me to believe there won’t be NYE fireworks either.

I wouldn't call that overhauling the rooms. I'm sure any change made to the rooms can be fixed rather quickly.

I wouldn't put too much weight into that report. It's likely that what the person saw was the MLS projections and not any sort of testing

 

[Goofy2015]

This may be a silly question. Are the lounges connected to Resort restaurants open like California Grill, Topolino's, etc... open?

Where have you read this?

GDT is/was a brand new resort. It wasn't even open for 10 months. Would be very surprising if they already need a refurb due to NBA players. I highly doubt grown men have damaged the guest rooms that much.

Lots of “in the bubble” videos, vlogs, and media reports of players ordering things like full size refrigerators and couches to be delivered to their rooms... PJ Tucker (Rockets) had an 85 inch tv delivered. If you watch Masai Ujuri’s early videos taken on the Raptors floor... theyve hung giant posters and pictures of Toronto, their logos, and the fans on their floor. One has him going into the “trainers room” on their floor - equipped with massage tables and all the supplies the trainers could need. He also ventures into the team post office in another room. At the GF you could see boxes and boxes of deliveries in the lobby when Matisse Thybulle went to pick up boxes of stuff from sponsors and athletic shoe companies..,

Yeah, hard to make any thing pointing to fireworks returning with the hours as they are...

Those are mostly cosmetic fixes and I can't see needing to keep resort closed due to that.

Maybe due to occupancy issues, but not putting the rooms back to normal.

 

[OnceUponATime15]

Raptor life.. and this is just one team on one floor. Other teams likely have similar/same set ups.

Maybe.. there were a few players using heavy weights in their rooms to work out.. we are talking gym level. I remember thinking at one of the videos - dropping hundred pound plus barbells like he was, onto a hotel room floor couldn’t be good...

Aside from the rooms.. the massive practice facility set up in the convention centre must be dismantled and removed. Player lounges and dining halls too..

They expect to be done the season by mid October .. not sure about an immediate reopening. Perhaps Beginning of November is more likely.

I'm not understanding why Coronado Springs would be substantially different from Yacht Club, which was turned over from NBA players to regular guests in a matter of days?

I guess a big factor is what the occupancy levels were.

Twice as many teams, longer occupancy, YC didn’t have in house practice facilities like the one at GDT. GDT has been the NBAs hub of operations also - from media to administrative capabilities. Back office stuff that keeps the bubble and the league running smoothly. The convention/ conference facilities were well utilized.

 

[CastAStone]

Did we get played and there's no news?

Soon?

I don’t think so but I could be wrong.

I'm going to post this and then go back and read the last couple of pages. Jet blue changed my flight home to a day later in October. I called Disney to add a day to my reservation and somehow ended up with a 30% discount. The cast member said she found it and applied it.. I'm guessing there's a discount coming that hasn't been announced yet.

I had 2 days at Poly at Christmas, and she moved me to a studio. Not sure I'm keeping that one but it would be my first monorail resort and first dvc stay ever. I'm usually just a pop girl, but I am celebrating my retirement still! Lol.
