I don't know exactly what will be refurbished and it seems bigger than the initial 'soft goods' we heard about but, I can say we visited a few times during the major refurbishment in 2017-2018 and were not inconvenienced. The construction tends to take place between 9AM and 5PMish.
. Loved our 2nd floor end room in building 10.Room was in good condition everything worked fine. Only had neighbors on the one side of course and no noise issues with them. It was quiet 
. Loved walking out our door to views of hourglass lake to the left and the big wheel and giant foos ball guys to the right. Can't get those magical views here at home. LOL. At night we would walk the backside of the building to our room to enjoy the brightly lit rubic cubes. When heading to pool went around the corner and down the steps to the short walk to the computer pool. Short walk to the food court and skyliner. Weather was great all week including the night at the Halloween party. No skyliner issues either. Halloween party was fun and of course we will be enjoying Disney Halloween candy for weeks. LOL. From my earlier posts you know I love the new food court. We love the Pop food court atmosphere and spend more time there then many people do. Yes it was noisy during the day and you really couldn't hear the music they play but that didn't bother us at all. We will be able to enjoy that again soon. Can't wait to see the food court completely done. I have my two bounceback discount trips booked for next year and the soft goods refurbishment on the rooms will be a non issue for me. We sat through the food court noise so I have no worries on next years construction. Oh and Halloween at Pop was a fun evening again. I know this was a long post and if you are still reading thanks. I love Pop as you can tell. And before I end I want to give a big shout out to @scrappinginontario for all she does to keep this the best resort thread on the boards. IMHO of course.
Some of our longest bus waits have been DS to Pop too. I think it’s a combination of the loooong walk to the Pop stop plus exhaustion seems to make the wait at DS for a bus feel extra long.
Did you speak to the front desk/hotel manager in person or call on the phone? We had an issue with housekeeping during our trip (staying at AoA) in June 2022. I called housekeeping on the phone (trying to give them the opportunity to fix it before going to the manager) and got no response after 24 hours (I know I was talking to a call center, but I wanted to give the "system" a chance to work), so I went to the front desk. Talked to the manager, nicely explained the issue and expressed my frustration (she, too, was frustrated with housekeeping in general that week). She called a housekeeping manager and told them to get to our room. After I had that conversation, we had a quick lunch at Landscape of flavors and then were heading to the park. I grabbed all of our mugs to run the back to the room. By the time I got to the room (maybe 15-20 minutes after I talked to the front desk manager), there was already a housekeeping "supervisor/manager??" (not a typical housekeeper -- different uniform) taking care of the things in our room (trash, the huge pile of dirty towels, dirty blanket (that was dirty from the day we checked in, etc.) and he said he'd change all the sheets in the room even though it wasn't part of the normal daily cleaning. I thanked him and he was very apologetic. The room looked great when we got back and we had *daily* housekeeping the rest of the week as a bonus (to make up for the lack of cleaning for the first half of our trip).
That's ridiculous and I'm sorry that is happening to you. Stays as long as yours are so easy for them to service except for the day they are supposed to change your bed linens. I can certainly understand your frustration. I appreciate your post and I'll be sure to stay on top of things for my upcoming stay.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I agree with others and would go to the front desk and request to speak to a manager. One cleaning in 8 days is not acceptable when they're offering cleaning every-other day.
Can you provide info about what caused this? Was the Skyliner down? If it’s up it runs at a consistent speed and that ride, including transfer, normally takes less than 30 mins mid-day. (6 mins to CBR, 15 to Epcot plus a minimal wait at CBR.) Guess if it was open and there weren’t lines due to it being middle of day, what caused the delay?
My daughter and I stayed at Music from the 3rd thru the 10th of October and had issues with housekeeping. It's definitely a thing. And repeated please and thank you conversations with the front desk. Not the end of the world, but still.....
