The Disney Resorts have started to re-open around the Disney World property, and we’ve been taking you with us to check them all out.
Grand Floridian Resort
While we’ve already given you a look at dining at the Grand Floridian Cafe, today we noticed some new construction at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort!
Our friend @brbgoingtodisney spotted a construction fence going up through the middle of the resort today.

As construction on Cinderella Castle also progresses (in all of its pinkness), construction workers are building the new Grand Floridian Walkway. However, the fence that we saw today is located through the middle of the resort.

With the NBA teams set to arrive next month in Disney World, we know that some of the teams will be staying at the Grand Floridian. If the teams are staying during the same time as other guests, the fence could act as a potential temporary measure to distance the NBA players and officials from other guests until the NBA’s season finishes in Disney World.

While Disney has not released any details on this new bit of construction, we will continue to keep you updated as we learn more!
These are the 6 surprises we didn’t expect at the Disney Resorts!

Is it cutting off the pool? You know like how DVC Members & regular guests wont be able to use Stormalong Bay?
Are the restaurants in the resorts open to anyone or do you have to be staying in the hotel the restaurant is located in?
Tracy, Disney is saying you need a Resort reservation (so, staying there) or have a Table Service Advance Dining Reservation in order to go to a Resort. We have not seen additional measures in areas where Disney transportation arrives (or walkways between Resorts), so it seems like there may be alternatives.
Being a DVC at VGF, I’d be upset to have to look at this and run into areas that are closed off with a lovely fence. Considering that the NBA season would have been over by now, they should have just let it go for the year and prepared for the next season. It appears to be a bad move to bring them into WDW.
We have a trip scheduled for September. If part of the resort is fenced off for the NBA we will cancel for sure. Were already paying full price for a cut rate vacation. Now full price for half a resort. Has Disney lost their mind!
I am surprised to see the entire architecture and ambiance of the place, but I could observe and think that fencing would have been much more elegant in designs.
Still, I would say the Resort is a masterclass. Keep it up.
Thanks
Thanks for the update! Although there is probably a valid reason why the fence is where it is, I do agree that they could have made it more aesthetically appealing. It is kind of an eyesore for the guests. Hopefully, it won’t be up too long.
