If anyone is around during the lobby renos would they mind sharing pics over the next month or so? We arrive on June 23, and I don’t want to be shocked by crazy construction. TIA!

I will when I get home.
I did take some on the iPad but they were too big to post......so will upload them when we’re home and post.....
Construction isn’t too bad right now, they’re doing bits at a time, but it will have to get a little worse I imagine when they start doing bigger changes.....right now it’s only the concierge, vacation planning and Avis desk that’s moved.
The check in desks will be done a little at a time.
But Grab and go being built where concierge desk was and when they start Orchids Lounge revamp, I imagine that’ll cause a little inconvenience, but they are working to ensure minimal disruption at all times.......
We did see updated renderings of what the finished lobby and Orchids will look like.......I think it’ll be absolutely beautiful.......and different!
I would appreciate that! Thank you.I will when I get home.

When did this all start? When I booked our stay on Jan 20th for our Aug trip I don't remember seeing any notices this was going to happen. Still can't wait to see the hotel.
This resort was highly recommend by friends and when I looked up photos I knew it was the right place for us. Construction or no construction we are totally pumped!
We adore RPR.....it truly is our favourite resort........it feels like a resort not just a hotel. Sapphire Falls is also a favourite and now we think of it as one big resort for us......we just stay in different beds depending which hotel we choose......
I’m sure you’ll love it and have an amazing stay......the staff are wonderful and will take such good care of you and the resort itself is so beautiful........you shouldn’t be in the lobby much so hopefully won’t impact your stay at all.....
We won’t stay anywhere else when in Orlando.....RP or Sapphire, both are amazing........have fun........
My family LOVES RPR so much! You actually feel like you are far away in luxury!
We are staying Club Level for the first time and so excited!
The most exciting part though, we convinced my sister-in-law to come on vacation with us and bring our nephews (15, 16). These boys have NEVER stayed in a hotel. They have no idea what they are about to experience and I'm so thankful I get to witness what will be a trip of a lifetime for them!
30 dayssssss... After a rough first year of nursing school and dealing with my kids’(twins) first year in middle school, I have never been more ready for a vacation! I’m a WDW girl, but I am really looking forward to a nice, laid back, trip.
Also I think I read that the previously free car service between hotels is now $10, is that correct? I know we can walk between RPR and Sapphire Falls but with luggage I'm not keen on the idea.

Yes! We are setting aside a day for pool hopping! Do you guys think it's worth it to check out the Hard Rock pool? What's the best way to get there from RPR?Oooh! This sounds so exciting! Don't forget to pool hop if you have time! I hear Cabana Bay is the place to go!
