Overview

• Scaffolding on the grand staircase has come down, revealing a new mural depicting the resort, beach, and Seven Seas Lagoon with white birds.
• Alternating white and gray-black chevron tile is being installed around the new Birdcage Bar, with flooring limited to the bar area as the bar’s framework continues to take shape.
• Carpet samples were spotted near the bar and the existing lobby carpet remains in place, with Disney planning a future replacement.
• Parts of the front desk area are enclosed with new gray curtains and steel-framed alcoves, and the permanent check-in counter remains behind walls with temporary check-in locations in use.
• Construction walls at the Garden View Tea Room have been advanced and decorative framing removed for stained glass indicated in concept art, as the long-closed venue stays shuttered and the lobby work targets completion by November 2025 with the resort’s 2025 gingerbread display canceled and other locations reportedly under consideration.
