Good to see that they have finally updated the rooms! The self parking charge has been around for a while, but they have been giving it away for free to many guests even before the renovations.
If you book your room before status change it will reflect your old status. It should have only taken the front desk agent 30 seconds to refresh your status on your reservation. It seems this property can be hit or miss depending on the room you receive, but it is a Cat 2 hotel and is usually a cheap option to visit Disney.
