This work is part of the resort’s ongoing multi-year refurbishment. You may remember that last month, a new notice was posted, indicating that work on the resort would continue through early 2027. To date, the resort’s rooms, lobby, roofs, exterior siding, and more have been updated or replaced.
The Grand Floridian Cafe is the resort’s primary casual table-service restaurant, offering breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. The resort is home to three signature restaurants that are open for dinner only. Other options include a character dining location, a quick-service restaurant, and poolside bars. Guests staying at the Grand Floridian may also enjoy room service. For more on dining, see our Grand Floridian Restaurant’s Guide.
