May I ask where you heard/found that information? The only announced renovations at this current time is the conversion of BPK (standard rooms) to DVC rooms. That would be great, if true, but have not seen any announcements.
The website offers this, but I can only assume it’s the BPK project.

From my Convention Service Manager:
You may see and/or hear an announcement today about there being some “grand” updates coming to the Grand Floridian. This is excellent news on many levels as we continuously enhance our parks and resorts for our guests, but I’m sure you are wondering, “How is this going to affect my event?”
Luckily, the impact will be minimal. There will only be visible construction activity on property from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. The outer buildings are being worked on individually and one at a time. For example, Building 9 will be worked on first, and when it is complete and reopened for guests, another building will begin construction.
There may be visible evidence of construction taking place at Building 9, which is the building closest to Summerhouse, where you have your Vendor Reception. Luckily again, the view of that building FROM Summerhouse is also minimal (blocked by trees) and we will set the space up closer to the beach anyway, which is at the opposite end of the venue. My hope is that by December this is a moot point.
Your guests will still have a memorable event and we don’t anticipate this causing any challenges whatsoever. But, in the spirit of transparency and planning ahead, I didn’t want you to be surprised by the upcoming changes that will be happening.
