It would be a lot quieter if they figured out how to reseal the balcony doors. Try gently pulling and holding the door in the closed position and for those few seconds - no noise!
I'm so glad that they kept the same color even though they switched out the stucco!Cross Posting from another thread:

Scaffolding is down now although still some painting to be done. Looks like they replaced the stucco with vertical siding. Posted by @Douglas Dubh Thanks for posting!
Happy to hear that you had a good trip and pleased to know that Kirk is still there. We must have missed him on our past few stays at BW. I was afraid he had moved on. He's given us gracious service on many trips to BW and previously when he was at WL.We had a wonderful (though too short) 4 night stay over this long weekend. as photos here have shown, scaffolding along the Crest of the Wave section was down as of yesterday. The restrooms in the breezeway close to the Luna Park Pool were closed off for work beginning yesterday. The staff on property is awesome, especially Kirk at the front desk, Al at bell services, and all the recreation cast members.
Our assigned room was a P/G studio on the first floor and was a room that still had a sofa bed. We would have made it work of course, but went back to the front desk to ask if it was possible to be moved to a room with the Murphy bed. Kirk was happy to check for me and I was really appreciative that they were able to move us to another P/G studio that had the Murphy. I realize this probably makes me sound high maintenance that I asked to move, and that was my mistake in misunderstanding the number of studios that still did not have the Murphy installed. Hopefully those rooms all have the sofa beds replaced soon! I made time to give several cast compliments over our stay, including Kirk and Al for their help on our arrival day.
I thought the refurbished rooms were well done overall. The cabinet door underneath the sink was off its hinges when we entered the room, and I let the desk know the following day. Maintenance came while we were at the parks and repaired. There was only one USB port (possible I missed one) which surprised me since the refurbed rooms at BRV seemed to have far more (also possible I am misremembering).
This was our first time on the DVC side of the property and hopefully will not be our last if I can make it work at the 7 month window
Kirk is amazing
I also must have missed him our last two trips. He literally made magic happen for our party of 12 a few years back when Disney had messed up a couple of things with our Magic Band delivery etc.. also had an unbelievable experience with one of the newer managers there this past February. Love, love BWV!Kirk is amazing
I am too!
AFAIK, all of the refurbished 1 bedrooms at BWV will have a queen Murphy bed in the living room. All rooms should be refurbished long before September, so it sounds like the CM either didn't understand your question or was looking at the information currently on the website for the BWV. I do not think the website gets updated until the refurbishment is totally completed. I really do not think you have anything to worry about.
I agree with CarolMN that the CM misunderstood or was mistaken. Some years ago we had a GV reserved, and I called MS to request one that was single story because we had a toddler with us. The CM said she’d note the request, but that only 2 of the 7 GV at BWV were single story. She was mistaken - it’s the opposite, 5 are single story and 2 are two stories - and of course what did we get but a 2 story GV
