Following my post up from the other day, now that the Blogs picked it up:
It wasn’t open when I was there in late January
Thank you for letting me know. If you know…Did it look ‘out of business’ type closed, or were there still boats / bikes that were visible?
No there are no bike or boat rentals available at WL since 2021. The bike rental at WL is closed since the trail between WL and Ft. Wilderness is closed due to the new resort construction, the Lake Shore Lodge aka the old "Reflections - A Disney Lake Side Lodge", it opens in 2027. Then the bike rentals may return but nothing is announced as of now.
It was fully closed and not opening any time soon
My DH used a luggage cart and grabbed ours in late January, staying in BRV. We were just asked to bring the cart back
Would scaffolding cover an occupied room, or are they vacant while work is being completed?
The scaffolding is in front of a large section of the resort. They work on one section at a time before moving the scaffolding to another area. The scaffolding is placed in a way that doesn't block the view. I've been in rooms that have scaffolding in front of them. And I've had workers on the balcony of the room I was in. I don't know if the resort will put guests in these rooms, but my guess is that the rooms will be occupied during the refurbishment.
When would you be at the CCV section of the building?
We are booked in the regular hotel rooms actually. I was asking because this is a split stay with YC. I need to read more posts in that thread to see if I can dig up any more information about that refurb. When scaffoding came up in this thread, I thought I'd ask the experts over here. It seems refurbs are going on at many hotels.
Yes this is a busy year with many resorts having enhancements or basic scheduled maintenance. This is the dry season that often runs through May before the almost daily afternoon thunderstorms return this summer.
Well, thank you so much for the information! You made my day! Working before thunderstorm season makes total sense.
