You may remember a few years back in 2022, Disney announced that Grand Floridian’s lobby would receive an update. At the time, the announcement stated the lobby “will maintain the classic theming you know and love with some fresh new enhancements.”
Later in 2023, the lobby was walled off in sections and repainted. However, no furnishings or floor coverings were changed. With this new announcement, we expect, at the very least, to see updated furniture. For more refurbishments, see our list of Disney Resort Refurbishments.
