I had my heart set on staying there this December. Had a good rate, too. It was explained to me that the construction at that time will actually be demolition work. Even though the main lodge should be fine, it will likely be very noisy, and I just didn't want to spend the money and regret it. We moved our reservation to CR. Not the same as WL at Christmas time, but I am happy that the worry of what it will be like is removed from the planning of our trip. Too much stress.
