UPDATE: Construction at Disney’s Grand Floridian Reportedly for Guest Rooms Only, Lobby Remodel Delayed Until 2024
We recently reported on new construction walls erected inside the lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, which was scheduled for a remodel to match the new, modernized style.
Reports now indicate that the walls and equipment are in place to begin the remodel of the guest rooms in that building. WDWNT’s sources also report that the lobby remodel is being delayed until 2024.
The construction walls surround a staging area for equipment to be raised up to the different floors. A crane should be arriving soon. The crew has laid wood flooring over the existing floor to protect it from the crane.
Reportedly, the lobby remodel was scheduled to begin earlier this spring. They were unable to meet that schedule. Rather than start construction and interfere with the giant gingerbread house the resort builds annually, the remodel was delayed.

Disney World Repaints Cinderella Castle Sun-Damaged Spires Following Removal of 50th Anniversary Decorations
Following the removal of all of the 50th Anniversary decor from Cinderella Castle, crews have turned their attention to the repainting of sun-damaged spires.
Essentially, the area covered by the decoration retained the original paint color while the exposed parts of the roof faded over the course of the 18-month celebration.
Here’s a look at Cinderella Castle from earlier today, including this first photo that shows a repainted spire on the left and a sun-damaged spire to the right.

No problem. It's tough on a phone!(Hopefully someone can post link better. I attempted with my phone
Also, FYI to everyone, it's hard to remember what's already been posted without physically going back through the pages. So if I double post, please just ignore it!
Unless there is some emotional reckoning from him regarding Elie, this will completely ruin the first 20 minutes of Up.

Thanks for checking! I was curious in case it was just me because it seemed like such a long time for them to be blank still.

I know this week is supposed to be about the Christmas season announcements, but I do wish we had more information on what the Halloween parties will offer this year.

New Mickey and Minnie 2023 Holiday Outfits Revealed and More Coming to Disneyland
Is it ever too early to start counting down to the holidays? While it may not be time to dig out that ugly sweater just yet, Disneyland Resort is giving you a sneak peek at the new cozy wintertime attire that Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will be sporting this holiday season and confirming the return of just some of your holiday favorites! There are even festive treats that you can enjoy NOW, in celebration of Halfway to the Holidays, because why should we have to wait until December to treat ourselves to some irresistibly delicious sips and bites?
Mickey and his crew always look their best for the holidays, and this year will be no different. Check out the mid-century modern inspired looks they’ll sport in Disneyland park, putting a spin on the classic red and green with the addition of pastel colors and playful prints. These looks will include snowy sparkle, and peep their matching holly brooches crafted by Minnie Mouse herself. These looks “sleigh!”
Craving even more holiday cheer to look forward to? Well, I’m thrilled to let you know that the fan-favorite attraction transformation “it’s a small world” Holiday will return to Disneyland park this holiday season! This is always on my must-do list during the holidays, as I love seeing the children in the attraction don their festive attire. Somehow, it feels even more magical than it already is throughout the year!
If your tastebuds are ready to celebrate the holidays NOW, you’re in luck. You don’t have to wait until December to delight in Gingerbread Man Macarons, available today through June 15 at Kayla’s Cake in Downtown Disney District. I can’t decide if they’re more adorable or delicious, but I’ll let you know when I figure it out. Speaking of adorable and delicious gingerbread, I can’t wait to get my hands on the Mickey Gingerbread at Pacific Wharf Café, available today through June 15 in Disney California Adventure park (Subject to availability, limit 2 per transaction). While I’m there, I’ll stop by the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land to treat myself to an Egg Nog Slush with Rumchata topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, also available today through June 15. Yum!
We are already buzzing with excitement to kick off another joyful holiday season at the Disneyland Resort, and look forward to sharing many more details about the upcoming holiday season in the future. In the meantime, let’s celebrate Halfway to the Holidays. Cheers!
