Here's what that means for your Disney stay.

When Are the Rennovations?

[{"selector":"#anim-53722b8e-e3e8-4ecf-acf1-ef375bd25aa0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5b9fcb56-e593-4842-a008-2d39ceca166b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Work is scheduled from April to November 2025. So, during this time, expect partial lobby closures. Fortunately, most amenities (including the pools) will be unaffected.

About the New Lobby

[{"selector":"#anim-0a00bea8-4b57-42f2-9cf4-2648cdb58464","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9683e56-6b35-4beb-a0f7-71fa7f59e9b9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The lobby is set to keep its original charm with some more modern touches. There will be a new carpet, updated furnishings, and more!

The New Lobby (cont.)

[{"selector":"#anim-79c54c9f-f99c-4e39-9e1d-39a402fc38af","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f7776db3-d3f8-47cc-8552-48685f367c84","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] These touches will be combined with an update to the tea room, and both are set to stay familiar while still feeling fresh. Plus, the updates are more than a coat of paint.

The Lobby Bar

[{"selector":"#anim-15d0ffcf-a941-4fda-9af0-362af0561a7a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ad4a9597-c36e-4600-9ec2-20974ca6e112","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] After the refresh, the lobby will feature a new bar! Inspired by the iconic birdcage, this bar will boast colorful birds in stained glass and murals. So, what does this mean for visitors?
