This is just plain ridiculous! I really hope that its only because the tables are on back order.
The room looks so sterile in the pics. Not warm and inviting and exhibiting zero charm, other then the art in the tv/bed.
Maybe the 1 BR will be better? I’m just not feeling the love for these refurbishments. I want less “Holiday Inn Express” and more Disney! The details in the paintings and pictures are very nice to me though. I want to look at the carpet when I get there too because often fun stuff is hidden. I actually think this looks bert different in colors and vibe than BCV but I'm not hard to please. I'd rather it be more bland than what they did at CR ooof No pics of 1 bedrooms yet. They tend to look better than studios anyway. |

I do like the coffee table being able to raise up, works good as a desk and often have to work while traveling, but there should also be a table.

I wouldn't like sitting on those stools with no back support especially trying to work.
Just a side note about the murphy beds which have been a great addition vs pullout couches. We stayed at VGF right after their refurb, the headboard on the murphy bed collapsed before my DD got in it for bed. It had been installed incorrectly. The headboards are VERY heavy. If my DD had been sleeping when it fell, it wouldn't have been good. I always double check the headboard now when someone in our travel group sleeps in the murphy bed.

I wasn't a fan of the table coming from the single murphy either as the chairs always felt weirdly out of place when not being used.

You can push it the other way to the couch as well. That's how SSR works (they have no small stools at all. They did have some issues with murphies at first when installing, but I think most are fine now, fortunately. We've used them a lot over spring breaks the last few years. |

I just wonder how many people with bad knees, or backs or are just on the older side will be able to get up from those ottomans/stools. Nothing to grab on to get balance. Not a fan.

If you want/need to see the old BWV hallway carpet, as of yesterday the first floor to the left of the elevators, the old carpet has not been removed. And as we were walking to Epcot, seeing a maintenance/construction guy haul a cartload of old hallway carpet to what I assume was a trash/dumpster backstage, I wondered how I could get a section home to make a small area rug.  |

I posted above that one can see the staging are for all of this from the Skyliner right by the turnbuckle. Might not be too hard to sneak in with some shears at night
Cheers.

So, not only are DVC members the only people allowed to pay thousands of dollars for contracts so that the 5th person can sleep on the floor… now we are dumpster diving as well?  |

Just going to say it. I hate all white bedding. It's too thin and not comfortable. I like the coloring and wall pics though.
