i was there in may and i would call the new rooms elegant, not dreary.
flat screen tv, bose sound systems, granite countertops, high end style furniture etc.
Sorry, elegant to you, dreary to me. If the pictures I'm seeing of all the dark furniture, dark woods, dark bedding, dark carpeting, etc, are the refurbed units, I don't care for them. I would prefer something light and airy especially in a hot humid climate, and I would think that somewhere there is furniture that fits that decor that would also be high end.
So far no one has confirmed my original question on the refurbes vs non. I can only assume the refurbed units have the dark decor, and the old rooms had the lighter decor. ??
I would be almost tempted to request a non refurbed unit, but seems they are terribly run down, if not outright dirty, now.
I am also concerned w/ this check in info now coming up. We were going to stop at a grocery store, and do downtown disney before heading over to Vistana, but we should go early to get a good location? Do they show you a map, and then you can request something else? Where can I see a map ahead of time?
For those using II Getaways, our guest certificate has a Unit # listed. Does that have anything to do w/ the Vistana buildings? Also, our certificate has 2 adults listed, yet I am the only adult w/ 3 kids. Does this need to be adjusted? I asked my friend about it, but she has no idea. Thx.
