While there are some parts of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort that will be wrapping up refurbishment very soon, Walt Disney World has provided an update on the anticipated refurbishment schedule for the entire resort. More specifically, Walt Disney World has finally provided an ending timeframe for the work. Here’s the latest.
Grand Floridian Resort Refurbishment End Date
Here’s the new announcement from Walt Disney World, now with a “mid-2026” timeframe for the completion of the work.
As part of the ongoing enhancements at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, refurbishment work will continue in select areas through mid-2026. Guests may see or hear work during daytime hours. Efforts will be made to minimize disruptions, and most pools, dining, and other amenities will remain available for Guests to enjoy.Â
As renovations continue at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the gingerbread display will not be available during the 2025 holiday season.
It’s unclear what the scope of work will be that will last into next Summer, but we expect that the majority of work taking place in the lobby will be wrapped up soon, and the Garden View Lounge is set to open in early 2026.
Of course, the recent exciting news is that Grand Floridian’s new lobby bar, The Perch, is set to open on Monday, November 10th. The new lobby bar will invite guests to sip and savor from a light menu featuring champagne, wine, beer, and two signature cocktails: the Sunshine State Rum Sazerac and the Floridian 75. For a refreshing non-alcoholic option, the Blueberry and Basil Iced Tea is a delightful blend of lemon, blueberry, and basil tea.
