We know, we know, we haven’t even got past Halloween yet, but we can’t help that Disney is already thinking about the holiday season! Of course, we can’t wait to celebrate the season at Disneyland Resort with the holiday parade, fireworks show, special treats, and festive decor. We also can’t wait to see “it’s a small world” adorned with thousands of shimmering lights and whimsical decor.

By 2 Comments

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is already starting to look much different. Not only is Disney hard at work building a brand-new bar in the hotel’s lobby, but the hotel is also undergoing quite a few other changes. And one of these changes was just revealed, and we have to say, it is GORGEOUS! 

A new addition at Disney’s Grand Floridian

If you have walked through the Grand Floridian’s lobby recently, you have probably spotted one of the many construction walls or tarps that are currently adorning the lobby. You will notice lots of walls up in the lobby around the location of the new bar, as well as around what used to be the Garden View Tea Room (but we haven’t seen it open for a long time). About a month ago, we also spotted more scrim and walls up at the staircases off the lobby. Well, we stopped by on September 18th and noticed a STUNNING new addition to the staircase.
