The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is Disney's flagship resort. It is also one of the nicest and most elegant resorts on the property.

Anyone can visit this lobby, even if they are not staying at the Grand Floridian. However, the Grand Floridian has been in a state of refurbishment for the last several years, affecting many of its special amenities.

Currently, the Grand Floridian lobby is going through a major refurbishment.  One of the most notable changes is the addition of the Grand Floridian Lobby Bar.

On one my (Heather's) visits to the Grand Floridian, the lobby was a massive construction zone. White curtains remained up, blocking the view of construction from the Guests. However, this did not limit any of the noise that was caused by the construction. Check out that update HERE.

The Grand Staircase reopened to Guests in September. Check out the refreshed staircase HERE.

What The Lobby Looks Like Now

Recently, I stopped by the Grand Floridian to see the latest update on the Grand Floridian lobby refurbishment. Check out the Instagram video below:

You can see the in the above video that the photo spot is back open! The check-in desks, Bell Services, and the child waiting area are all back open with a refreshed look! I love the check-in desks being several separate desks versus one long counter.

The construction surrounding the Birdcage Bar has moved in and is now taking up less lobby space. Progress continues on the bar, and it has been reported that countertops have been placed since our visit.
