I think that they will remove the current wardrobe and replace it with a standard dresser.

There is no wardrobe in Royal Rooms (other than the armoires in Wheelchair Accessible rooms anyway). They will definitely put larger more modern TVs in though.

We just got back yesterday from another very nice stay at Riverside. Disney is now chilling the water. Not only was the cold water from the tap in the resort room nice and cold, but it was also filtered. We thought that it was good enough to drink. I thought was as good as the filtered water from the beverage dispensers in the food court.

The water in the swimming pools was also chilled. It was no longer as warm as bathtub water. It was very refreshing.

I brought my refillable mug from home and asked them to recharge it. I expected to pay the cost of a new mug, but they didn't charge for the refill. That was nice.

My adult daughter and I were in Alligator Bayou September 28-October3. We loved everything about this resort. I had stayed there many years ago and had forgotten how lovely it is. Yes, it is due for a refurb so I'm glad that is coming. But even as it is, it was wonderful. The rooms were surprisingly big. The greenery was beautiful. The mill was lovely and didn't feel like a food court at all. I enjoyed sitting and enjoying my coffee there every morning because the environment was just so nice. The food was good and having refillable mugs for the first time ever was fun and worthwhile. Pools were great. The one and only thing that wasn't fantastic was the shower water pressure is non-existent. Hopefully that will be fixed with the refurb. We actually saw a few rooms that seemed to be test or spec rooms being worked on? Windows were covered with paper, but we could peak in and see lovely changes taking place. Can't wait to hopefully come back and enjoy the resort again.

And you didn't make a note of the room numbers?!
