Resort Thread Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN Resort & Spa + Construction Updates!! **LOBBY REFURB STARTED 4/14**

It feels to me this lobby renovation couldn't be moving any slower! At first I thought November was a very easy target based on the rendering... it is starting to look ambitious to me... I believe it began in May or so... so we are around the halfway point give or take...

Seriously. Looks like they are working 1 day/week

I’m telling myself they’re doing all the hard work, the stuff buried under the cement. Stuff above the cement is easy right? Some bar stools, a bar and a sink- they won’t even need an ice maker being a bubbles/wine/beer outfit and they’re pretty much set. How much time do they really need for that?

Well there does at least appear to be structure going up…

I'm thinking "the lobby at the Grand Floridian" is no longer going to be recommended as a "Place to Work from a Disney Resort" once this opens!

Is this over by the elevators? Or along the back of the lobby towards the Garden Tea Room?

It’s by the building elevators (the ones you take up to the CL floors)… visual…

I'm sure it will be busy - and it makes me wonder where in future Christmas everything will go? I know they said no Gingerbread House this year....

Will be interesting to see if all in person and eyeball the true size!

I just don't love the idea of a bar in the middle of the lobby.....there's plenty of space available for another bar in the Garden View
tea room. I feel like it's going to be as chaotic as the Grand Ceremonial House. (Poly) It kind of ruins the posh feeling of the GF
with people wandering about drinking Pina Colava's in plastic cups.
