Disney has issued a press release with additional details regarding the restaurant which will replace Spoodles on Disney's BoardWalk.

The exterior of Disney's BoardWalk Villas will receive a great deal of TLC throughout 2009. The building itself is scheduled for minor repairs and painting, while the roof over the Villa wing will also be replaced.
The painting project has already begun and will continue until approximately September 25, 2009. The roof replacement is scheduled to begin on January 5, 2009 and run until November 6, 2009.
The lobby of Disney's BoardWalk Inn and Villas will be quite a little beehive of activity throughout the month of September as a number of maintenance projects are completed.

Note that these renovations are occurring at the BoardWalk Inn and not the BoardWalk Villas. Disney has been renovating many of its Deluxe-class resorts in recent years including resorts like the Wilderness Lodge which which also house Disney Vacation Club villas. However no announcements have been made regarding similar renovations to Vacation Club rooms.
