Nobody knows until Disney announces it. This is what is happening at the present.

How often are refurbs done? I thought I heard every six years? Eight years?

I think it's 7 years for soft change (linens etc) and 14 years for hard change.

The Grand Floridian is due soon (I looked into it because I think the current room decor is hideous) and I guess the Poly & AKL should be too as they're the only ones left with the bedspreads. WL is in the process right now (I'm not hugely satisfied with that change).

I was bumped in 2002 for a refurb at POR and they just did one this yezr, so I would say 10 for an overall refurb average.

Most of the deluxes seem to be changing over to white linnens with the colorful/themed bed-runner (BC, YC, BWI, WL, CR), and the results are fabulous...I think. I expect GF, POLY and AKL will soon follow suit. While we LOVED our stay at the GF, we did notice that the bedspreads where hideously heavy and they were promptly kicked to the floor each night.

I believe that in a blog about BC/YC on AllEars.net, the statement was made that these 2 resorts have abandoned comforters/duvets all together in favor of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and then a plain white sheet to hold it all together.

There was a bunch of info that came out today about refurbs all over the GF coming up, so GF will be the next deluxe with a major refurb it looks like. Here is a link to the article from WDWMagic.

This is great to hear. We last stayed there in 2009 and thought it was in need of an update. I guess they are also making changes around the resort & with the pool because of the DVC units. This makes me happy and excited because we are DVC members & look forward to adding on at the GF!!!

But, I do feel bad for those planning a trip there during the refurb. That's a lot of construction!

I think I actually either started a thread or posted in a thread about this a while ago... I will see if it's in my "index" and then we can check it out!
