DVC Resort Refurbishment News

By Kristen Tutas / June 7, 2016

As mentioned at the 2015 DVC Condo Meeting last December, the majority of DVC resorts will be getting refurbishments this year. There are two types of refurbishments: soft goods and hard goods. Soft goods include in-room items like curtains, carpets, bedding, and upholstery. A hard goods refurbishment usually includes new furniture design and placement. Here’s a look at whats happening this year:

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas: Crews began a soft goods refurbishment (updating fabrics and decor) at Jambo House in January, aiming to complete that work by early June. Similar refurbishments are scheduled to begin at Kidani Village later this summer, continuing through the end of the year.

Beach Club Villas: The first wave of accommodations underwent refurbishment in January, receiving refreshed decor and fabrics, updated bathrooms, larger televisions, a second queen bed in the second bedroom of two-bedroom villas (replacing that bedroom’s sleeper sofa, based on Member feedback) and more. The addition of the fifth sleeper bunk in the Deluxe Studios is also part of this project, slated to continue through the summer.
