Do you have a picture of the bathroom?

This is great, thanks for sharing! Do you happen to have a picture of the studio bathroom by chance?

@katied Posted pictures of the Studio bathroom in post #301

Are the items plugged in related to the murphy bed?
I don't recall seeing items exposed like that where the pillows would go in any other murphy bed.

I'm disappointed about removing the tables. They aren't just for eating, a lot of people have to work while they're down there (DVCers are not as commando as regular visitors and probably work more often while there).

Looks like they continued the trend of removing the desk from the master bedroom as well

Thank you for this!
1 knew we would lose the table in the studio. Guess we will sit on the floor to eat our meals.
Not sure I understand the dark accent wall. And how small the TV continues to be.

I’m so bummed they removed the table from the studio again like in the Boardwalk Reno. So many of us complained direct to DVC too after that.

Looks okay to me. Marriott splashed with some Disney stuff. I'm good with that. Some will love it, some won't. As with anything Disney does.

I'm more concerned with the quality of refurb choices? Will we be having issues in 3-4 years or is this the good stuff? TBD I guess.

I agree with you on losing table. Too old to sit on the floor.

It was too late by then, I'm sure they had already placed the order with Big Lots for the furniture.

Tables are now a 1BR perk, come sit on the floor with the rest of us studio peasants

Yes, thank you! Umm…how about hallway carpet?

This was posted in the FB group. There was also a picture showing both carpets where old ended and new began.

Thanks for posting pics of the studio. Wall with the TV looke very much like Villas at Disneyland. Way the set up is now, it looks to me like the room doesn't see as small (because of the galley kitchenette)

There seems to have a lot of 3 bedroom at BLT open up in 2025. Wonder if they are finishing them faster

Now something important, can someone test the WiFi? It’s was unusable back in September.

I tried to do it for you when I was there but it just seemed like normal crappy Disney wifi to me. Sorry I forgot to report back.

That’s exactly what I was thinking

Those TVs don’t look too smart yet…

I had all of these same thoughts looking at the photos. Why wouldn't they install the new TVs while during the refurb? Also don't recall seeing any exposed cords in any of the other Murphy bed set ups.

Overall, huge improvement and I'd be happy to stay here. The dark wood cabinets with the frosted glass cabinet doors along with the frosted glass bathroom door (pretty sure I saw that in a photo, not sure which room type) are a swing and a miss for me as those design choices make the refurb immediately look dated.

Still an unquestionable improvement though.

For those that don’t clap like seals for Mary Blair artwork, this refurb is in the bottom half of recent refurbs.
Which stinks, because I have small children and was looking forward to staying at BLT (and even contemplating a resale contract).

I wonder if the bathroom door was changed. It looks the same with the frosted glass

What in the world.
