The pictures shared of the Beach Club refurb look nice—not very “beachy”, but clean and neat!
Does anyone have pictures of the refurbished villas at Boulder Ridge??
All I seem to be able to find are the pictures from the Disney files or pictures through windows during the refurb process.
We have a trip planned for November for extended family and I wanted to share some pictures of where we will be staying.
Two families in our group have not been in many years. This will be the first trip for grandsons 5, 4, and 2!!
Thanks

Thanks helenabear. I had only seen the original staged photos right before the refurb started. These look great with some actual theming. Even more surprised to see Keurig coffee makers. Looking forward to our stay in May.

Looking forward to our stay in May. Laura They are dual types so drip and one cup. They started adding these to GVs so not shocked they're doing more. There are vocal people for both though drip still wins from my understanding as one cups take too long for 2 and 3 bedrooms. |

Oh wow. The one bedroom looks really nice. A good combination of theming and also more modern/bright. I was more than underwhelmed with the photos of the sterile BCV rooms.
Also, the studio looks a lot better than I was expecting from the pictures in Disney Files. The bed frame is less garish. I might have to consider these rooms for one of our upcoming trips 🤔 I do miss the table and chairs but appreciate the few drawers to the side of the small Murphy bed. We are definitely ones to unpack for our trips.

I am a tea drinker so I have used Kuerigs once and realized it's awful for tea lol. No coffee makers for me  |

Thanks for the pictures. I've said before, I'm glad they did the refurb -- it was really needed and they look much better than they did before.
However, I'm not a fan of the design choices here as they strangely mix Northwest with Southwest aesthetics. In my opinion, it doesn't work. It appears they've combined Oregon stylings with those from New Mexico. WL is very much has a Northwest log-cabin-y, Yellowstone pine-forest national park appeal, and so it's jarring and out-of-place to encounter the southwest clay pottery, teal/turquoise colors, and native-american-esqe art on the rugs and tiles.
It feels very much some out-of-touch easterner was assigned the design choices and doesn't understand the dramatically different areas of the west, so they just threw a bunch of stuff together and called it a day.

Thank you so much.
Exactly what I had hoped to be able to share with the family.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe with the new cuts they can actually get a real interior designer. I mean who is picking out /approving this decor? |

I don't disagree with this. I imagine more NW/National park regions. This feels like a hodge podge of colors and styles. |

Yep, I pretty much hate it. Like, loathe it. I won’t let this ruin my Disney experience, but it definitely dims the magic. Hate, hate, hate…

What type of filter (shape) does the drip take. Thank you! |
