Overview
- Walt Disney Imagineering published a first-look video Wednesday, June 3, that walks through the redesign and shows early installed finishes in the living and kitchen areas.
- The team used a three-stage development workflow — virtual model room, functional model room, and contractor model room — to finalize layouts and create a single physical reference for all builds.
- Designers drew on more than 100 years of Disney animation to place characters and motifs in the rooms, including art and carvings inspired by Mulan, The Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, Tangled, The Fox and the Hound, The Rescuers, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty.
- The refresh leans into a woodsy look with natural materials, organic color palettes, carved details, greener cabinetry, new appliances, updated furniture, revised lighting, and refreshed artwork.
- All 60 standalone, octagonal Treehouse Villas are being renovated cluster by cluster so some units remain bookable; Disney cites a phased completion target of mid‑September 2026 while at least one outlet reports work may continue into January 2027, a change that will affect Disney Vacation Club members and future bookings.
