Grand Floridian Birdcage Bar Gets Roof as Lobby Overhaul Advances

Phased lobby work is altering guest routing with temporary check-in plus blocked second-floor areas.

Overview

  • The new lobby bar replacing the former aviary now shows vertical steel walls supporting a brown roof that matches released concept art.
  • Framed counters and a Cast Member access opening are in place at the bar’s base, with the build contained behind construction walls.
  • Guest check-in operates from the center of the lobby near the work zone, as the original desk area shows new wood framing and missing ceiling panels.
  • Access remains constrained, including the staircase by check-in closed, half of the Monorail entry blocked, one elevator under maintenance, removed moulding, and railings now uncovered.
  • Roof work continues at the convention center with shingles stripped from sections and scaffolding at the entry, and Disney has canceled this year’s lobby gingerbread house.
