I followed the Poly refurb pretty closely and even stayed there in April of 2014 (right before they removed the water feature from the GCH). During that stay, most of the work was on the over-the-water bungalows and to the longhouses on the east side of the resort that were being converted to DVC. At that time, I honestly didn't think the work was terribly disruptive. But I would not have wanted to stay at the resort when they were removing the water feature from the GCH or refurbing the main feature pool and surrounding area.
As far as I can tell, the WL refurb is mostly to the areas along the "beach" and to the DVC portion of the resort (while they're also converting some rooms in the main lodge to DVC, I assume this is being done piecemeal). So it seems to me, that during even the worst part of the WL refurb, the construction won't be that much more disruptive than it was during my April 2014 Poly stay because, unlike the Poly, they aren't renovating the WL main lobby or feature pool.
Granted, construction is never ideal (especially given that you can at least expect to experience some mid-day noise), but am I correct in thinking that the WL construction won't be that intrusive to guests in the main lodge (especially if you book a courtyard view room)?
