Birdcage Fully Removed From Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Lobby
The giant birdcage from the lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort has been fully removed.

The birdcage used to sit on a dais across from the cage-inspired elevator tower. On Thursday, crews began dismantling the birdcage, and as of Friday morning, it’s completely gone. White sheets lay across its former location.

The iconic birdcage was purely decorative for the past several years, but it was once functional, being home to real birds and a tree.

There are also white sheets over the long planter on one side of the dais that are stuffed into the planter on the other side. One of the short columns on the front of the dais has a sheet pinned to its front. Scrim also covers something, possibly a toolbox, behind one of the planters.

The four tall white columns behind the dais have wood frames around them. The frames attach to the construction walls behind.

The floor behind the planters is covered in protective SkudoBoard. More boards are stacked up against the construction walls, ready to cover the carpet in front of the dais.

A cart in a corner of the construction site is also covered by a white sheet. There were no crew members on site Friday morning.
