Walt Disney World has announced that the refurbishment project at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort has been extended again. Previously, Disney had announced that the refurbishment project would continue through mid-2026. Now, the refurbishment has been extended. Here’s the latest, including why the refurbishment was extended.
Grand Floridian Resort Refurbishment Extended
An updated message from Walt Disney World informs guests that the refurbishment at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort has been extended. The reason appears to be centered on a yet-to-begin project involving the porte cochere.
Here’s a look at the message from Walt Disney World, which includes the new project end timeframe of early 2027.
Renovations at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will continue in select areas, including the porte cochere, through early 2027. Guests may see or hear refurbishment work during daytime hours or need to take alternate paths of travel.
Walt Disney World completed a lobby renovation that included some new furniture to complement the new lobby bar called The Perch.
With an extension of the refurbishment through the 2026 holiday season, it’s unclear if the work will impact the availability of the popular gingerbread house again this year. It seems like all of the lobby work is substantially complete, including renovations of the Garden View Lounge, which we recently got a sneak peek of.
