Overview
- The temporary barrier around the Stein Haus entrance grew substantially overnight, blocking parts of the exterior walkway and hiding the second-floor balcony, faux stairs, and the Stein Haus sign.
- Park crews have repositioned rolling planters, added scrim-covered scaffolding and construction walls, and wedged a potted plant to close a gap between barriers.
- The Stein Haus gift shop remains open and its interior operations appear unaffected, with guests directed to use the alternate Weinkeller entrance to enter the store.
- Walt Disney World has not publicly addressed the work, which aligns with its common practice of not issuing statements for cosmetic projects that do not close attractions or force major reroutes.
- The first small signs of work appeared in late June, and the expanded zone has begun to encroach on nearby landscaped garden areas, so guests should expect changing sightlines and limited walkway access in the short term.
