The last 2 outer buildings to be refurbished are both closed and under construction at the moment so you will definitely receive an updated room. During the refurbishments, Disney is working on the inside and outside of the buildings simultaenously. The only way you wouldn't receive an updated room would be if you got upgraded to the main building (and in that case, maybe the club level access would be a decent trade off for being assigned a non-refurbished room?)

Anyway, if I were in your shoes and GF was my anniversary happy place, I tend to think I would regret not fulfilling my tradition more than changing resorts/dates. But that is me - you do you. Trips are special and it's hard not to worry about them being as close to perfect as possible. The years seem to fly by. So, regardless of how 2023 turns out, 2024 will be here before you know it.
Aww thanks so much, your sweet.@WishesQueen
Quoting myself because for some reason I keep thinking about you - and I don't even know you at all.
Full disclosure, I am in a different situation. My Disney buddy is my daughter. We are looking forward to another split stay with GF in the future. But this year, we decided to spend the whole week at YC to enjoy more time at Flower and Garden. We never seem to have enough time to sample everything we would like at the booths.
So are the room options Boca Chica or Conch Key? Any one of the two better than the other?
BC is a good spot right now, it’s far from construction. The GV views are of the lovely courtyard pool. Hear a few pix from Nov 22.
Thanks girl, I appreciate it! I’ll add it to page 1!
Most rooms are two Queen beds and all rooms have a couch....the couch is the day bed. Deluxe rooms used to be bookable but I believe now you can try to request them and if your lucky enough to get one the couch is in the rounded area of the room with two televisions...kind of a sitting room. Its really beautiful and we were lucky enough to get one a few times when they were bookable. But beware some deluxe rooms do not have a balcony, I believe its the top floor deluxe room.
Yep you got it on the deluxe!
I hate when Disney dumbs down restaurant menus to remove whatever is most expensive (in terms of ingredients) or novel! Some of our former favorite restaurants have gone from "must-do" to "meh, why bother?" as a result.
The refurb in the main DVC building is done with the new murphy queen-size bed. They also have the pull-down bunk-size bed. These deluxe studios have both a shower-tub combo and a walk-in shower. The kitchenette has a sink.
Just a minor detail to add: the "pull-out sofa bed" in the resort studios is a daybed, slightly narrower than twin size. Just in case anyone read "sofa" and pictured the double-sized folding sofas that are present in some of the older DVC studios on property...
