Disney's Sequoia Lodge refurbishment (October 2010 - 2012)

If there's ever a problem, though, just ask the Cast Member at check-in to move you. They even let you stay in a specific room number if you ask (and if there's nothing preventing you from staying in it).

Does anyone know whether there has been some refurb' to the rooms in the New York? - During my Christmas trip i noticed a number of the rooms had upturned beds on the lower ground floors to the left of the entrance and it looked as though some work was being done...

Hi I'm a newbie so please be gentle!

I'm booked into the SL in 2 weeks and want to email them to settle my worries about the refurb and our room. Does anyone have a direct email for the hotel? I've only been able to find a general reservations email.

thanks

I'm not sure about their email, but if you can't get it, try asking at reception.

It probably won't be that busy in the next two weeks, so you may even be able to ask for a specific room. The Cast Member at reception will be able to answer your questions about it, so don't worry if you're not able to contact the hotel in advance.

Any news on how far along the refurb is at the moment. Read earlier in the thread that the first couple of floors in the main building were done and that was back in July. Anyone stayed in the hotel recently that can confirm if any more are done?

Plus, has anyone got any detailed pictures of the room? I've seen the pictures over on dlrp and was interested in seeing more!

Many thanks,

RBG

I've got a few photos. I'll upload them for you.

I thought the lights on the wall in the last photo were a really nice touch.

Thanks Meph. Appeased my slightly neurotic side there

Were those pictures in the main building or one of the lodges? And when did you visit?

They look a lot "lighter" than the old decor. Think I will give SL a call closer to December and try a cheeky request for a newer room! Looks well worth it.

Thanks. XD And yes, it was in the main building. I went on 20th August when half of the rooms had been refurbed (they're working from the bottom).

One other thing that I thought was good was that the tele is digital. It even welcomed us when we came in. XD The channels are the same, but -- on the Disneyland Paris channel with the annoying woman -- you can finally choose which language you want to view it in.

Also, it had loads of help articles and tips for when you're in the park. They weren't any use to us, but I bet they'd be useful to newcomers.

I don't think there'll be any need. Just ask the cast member at reception when you're checking in.

Thats brilliant. Seems like the works going at a fairly fast pace then!

Thanks for the advice too. Saves me a bit of hassle if I can just ask when im there! If only there weren't 80 odd days to go

I just booked a room in SL this december and asked for a refurbished one in the mainbuilding. The woman Said that its maybe possible that every room is finish until then:) maybe i asked for a room with a balcony before our stay. Does anyone know if there're standard rooms with lakeview which have a balcony?

There aren't any standard rooms with a balcony at the Sequoia Lodge. Only some of the suites have a balcony.

I emailed guest relations to ask if it was possible to have a refurbished room in the main building and the reply I received back was a little confusing, this is what they said:-

'Thank you for contacting Disneyland Paris.

Be advised the refurbished rooms are located in the lodge but there is no more availability.
However I have advised the hotel of your request.'

I know from reading other peoples comments there are refurbished rooms in the main building so I don't quite understand the reply. Oh well, at least I don''t have to wait too long to see what type of room we get.

Josh · October 25, 2011, 12:25:52 PM

I think what they're trying to say is that you can only be certain that you're in a refurbished room if you're in a lodge. However, chances are you'll be in a refurbed room anyway if you're in the lower floors in the main building.
