Grand Floridian Refurbishment

Disney’s Grand Floridian is currently in a major refurbishment. First, the villas received a soft goods overhaul with subtle nods to Mary Poppins and the Sherman Brothers. Disney is also currently converting the Big Pine Key building into DVC accommodations. Have you booked a stay at one of these newly refurbished rooms yet?

We also know there is a possible overhaul of the entire resort. You can read about that possibility HERE.

Citrico’s was recently refurbished, and when they reopened it was given a Mary Poppins theme. Check out Jamie’s review of Citrico’s and see if you want to add it to your list of dining reservations.

Narcoossee’s was originally scheduled to undergo a refurbishment in mid-June. If you are a fan of seafood, this is definitely a great choice!

Disney’s website describes it as the following: Delight in superb seafood, steak and more in this waterfront hideaway. Narcoossee’s serves a spectacular, innovative selection of fresh seafood from both local waters and around the globe.
