Grand Floridian Lobby Reimagining Reaches Next Phase With New Showpiece Carpet and Furniture

Perimeter walkways remain open during finishing work and Birdcage Bar construction.

Overview

  • The central atrium is closed behind construction walls as crews stage new furnishings and complete installation of a single-pattern carpet across the lobby.
  • The new carpet is laid but not fully secured or trimmed in some areas, including edges and sections around the Birdcage Bar.
  • All-new lobby seating and tables are being moved in and assembled, while guest movement is routed along the lobby’s perimeter.
  • The Birdcage Bar build-out shows progress with added wood-grain paneling, counters, and initial stained-glass pieces, though the venue remains incomplete.
  • Additional updates include fresh wallpaper and a mural near the birdcage elevator, planter panel refurbishment, and open check-in desks, with no new completion date announced.
