VWL Renovations?

[monetnj]

Over on the resorts board there are postings that the WL is undergoing some room renovations. Apparently half the 6th floor has been done with new furniture, brighter decor, flat-screen tv etc. much as has been done at the Poly and CR recently. As a recent owner in VWL, that got me thinking about when we might see similar renovations. Nothing major necessarily. Maybe different bedspreads or that flat-screen. I can't see Disney making the WL rooms significantly nicer (if smaller) than the VWL rooms and leaving it at that. Has this sort of thing happened in the past?

I don't know but keep in mind any renovations to VWL comes out of dues money, not Disney's.

With renovations as you say at WL (like CR renovations), it could make them raise the price of the stay at WL. Make it more deluxe.

I'm hoping that "renovations" aren't in store for VWL!!

Okay, maybe they could get a different pattern from that one black/white checked chair...but that's it!! I don't think a brighter decor would really work at WL/VWL...it is what it is and it's perfectly themed as it stands.

I can see Disney trying to upgrade WL with other amenities such as the flat screen tv (am I the only one who thinks that's much ado about nothing? ). But as has been stated, any remodeling to VWL would come directly from our annual dues.

Here's one vote to just continue with excellent maintenance and replacement of existing decor.

Major renovations are not planned for VWL, only the Lodge.

Having a flat screen HDTV at home, I would welcome one at VWL as well. Just a matter of time really. Eventually it will happen as the country moves to the digital standard for television and hotels follow suit. Just like the high-speed internet. I also understand that VWL still has VCRs in the rooms instead of DVD players? I would like to see that upgraded.

Renovations at the lodge will be based on attracting customers at a profitable price point. But renovations at the villas will be based on replacement needs. That means that amenities such as flat-screen televisions or revised color schemes will come to the villas only when it makes economic sense to replace the old TVs or repaint entire blocks of rooms. It will happen, but not in a rush and not just to make the villas more attractive.
