Murphy beds will be replacing all sofa beds at all DVC resorts eventually.
Big Murphy sofa- yes, that’s one in the photos I posted up (white cabinet thing behind sofa). Little under TV Murphy- no, only 1 and 2 beds seem to have that.

What do you think the chances are of getting one if booked as a family of 5 in a 1 bed mid April 2020? As it's only for one night we really don't want to be bringing bedding with us.

Better chances if you book a preferred room

I agree. But if they swathe up to The Paddock next a reasonable chance. If they do The Springs refurb next and they opt for a Preferred then an excellent chance

what happens to all the old furnishings when they do the refurb? I wouldn't mind a couple of cushions

YT. Another good find, well done.

All in all I think they have done a nice job. So much more modern looking and not so dark and depressing.

Some minor issues that I have spotted that are very good or very poor.

Photo 2 - The paintwork around those plugs will become chipped and scratched. The plug should have had a bigger pattress behind it

Photo 3 - Love the 2 bedside cabinets. Used to be just 1 which was very annoying.

Photo 4. Shower panel is too big for those who bath. It will be very 'enclosed' Should have been a 3 panel not a 2 panel

Photo 5 - Nice touch having the little enclosure for shampoo/shower gel etc. Hope they have gunned it around the edges or water will get in. Loathe those disgusting triple bottle dispensers. Yuk

Photo 6 - Love the tiles. Pity the tiler doesn't know how to line up grout lines!

Photo 7 - Fridge sticks out too far. Will be damaged within a Month sadly. Should have pulled the units out 2" and put a deeper worktop on to 'protect' the fridge.

Photo 7 - Tap is a single spout. Will be spinning around within a Month. Looks lovely but wont stand up to hotel use.

Photo 9 - TV is too small

Photo 11 - I do like the box. However the cantilever hinges will be bent and wrecked within 3 Months as people will put their feet on it sadly. Bad choice

I noticed the grout, the dope seems to have measured the tiles for the wall on the bath end from the bottom, instead of the top. Lazy.

It looks very similar to the copper creek studio with the coffee table and enclosed bath.

Shame about those toiletries as I really like the old ones but I guess too many are just taken home.
