I ate at Big River in late May. I am a DVC member with my home resort at BWV, so we eat at Big River a lot and we have always enjoyed it. We usually sit outside because I like the atmosphere so much better but in May we sat inside. They have not remodeled Big River, the renovations were being done to the outside of the BWV not to Big River, it still looks the same as ever. I would not call it dingy but sparse, electic, ultra modern etc, not my cup of tea in decor either, but we really enjoy the food. The meatloaf is wonderful and so are the salads and the prices are very reasonable for WDW. We enjoy Big River's food much better than ESPN, with the exception of ESPN's wings--we love them!
