Which resorts won’t have room renovations in November?

[FSU Girl]

I’m looking at changing up my trip in November currently have a 2 bedroom villa booked at Poly and thinking of splitting it with another to save money. Booking cash through Disney. I don’t want to stay somewhere that is doing room renovations though.

I’ve mostly been looking at Copper Creek, but depending on what opens up and I move things around might pick something different. So just want to double check before I book anything.

Copper Creek I know has been undergoing room renovations, will do those be done in November?
Boulder Ridge was recently done I think so that’s a possibility.
I know BLT is currently doing room renovations that are supposed to end in September, but that could get delayed so not sure I should remove this as an option.
AKL I believe is starting in October so that’s out.
Riviera I don’t think is doing anything but currently sold out.
Same for Beach Club, although not sure when they are scheduled. If it opens up should I consider going there since they just redid their pool?
Boardwalk I can’t do since the two bedrooms aren’t available for cash.
I don’t want key west or Saratoga.
I think that’s all DVCs not sure if I’m forgetting one.

I loved Poly Tower but it’s very expensive which is why I’m looking to do the split. Also nothing is available for my whole trip to fully switch.

BLT reno got extended, but it wasn't clear if that was rooms or other parts of the tower, originally all rooms were to be done by Sept this year.

You left out VGF, its going through reno to parts of the hotel, but nothing with rooms right now.

If you are looking to split, Beach Club would probably be the best option.

Here's a handy chart

Copper Creek is supposed to be finished in September. I believe BC was just done last year, at least the DVC rooms. IIRC.

Thank you for this chart! Can’t believe I forgot VGF I love staying there lol. I think that’s only the lobby in the main building so that wouldn’t be so bad. The room difference in price is only like $40 so idk if it would be worth do the split for so little.
I’ll have to keep my eye out for BC since it’s currently sold out.
BLT is out then

BLT room Renos aren’t extended, just general renovations around the Contemporary resort.

AKV Kidani renovations start in Oct., but Jambo won’t start until next year.

Don’t know how long it will last, but ATM the bus stop at the GF is temporarily closed & pick up/drop off is in front of the Porte Cochere where DME used to pick up/drop off.

I love Jambo, but booking cash I can’t get a two bedroom anywhere but Kidani. Is the change in bus because of the lobby renovations? I probably won’t stay there since it’s barely cheaper than poly and next door so transportation won’t be very different

Not sure why or how long it’ll last, I’ve read they’re working on the convention center too & the bus stop is not far from there, so . There’s also the ongoing road work on Floridian Way & I think they’re still working on the new Poly entrance as well. https://wdwnt.com/2025/06/work-begi...neys-polynesian-village-resort-road-entrance/
I’m hoping that by the time I return to the VGF in Feb. 2026, they’ll finally be done w/ all of the construction, it’s been going on for years now.

Construction seems to go so slow in Florida. Probably because there’s no winter
