Countertops Installed & Lighting Elements Added at Grand Floridian Birdcage Bar

The Birdcage Bar at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort has some countertops installed and completed lighting elements on the roof.

Countertops

The biggest news from today’s Grand Floridian lobby update is that crews are in the process of installing countertops. They are a marbled slate gray color, but are currently covered in a blue film to protect them. Hopefully we can see the finished product very soon.

Currently, the countertop has been installed on half the bar, but we anticipate the job to be completely done by the end of the day or early tomorrow at the current rate.

Lighting Elements

The light panels on the top of the bar are now complete with flower designs. They are pink with a large pink, yellow, and green flower petal in the center of each one.

The new Birdcage Bar replaces the actual giant birdcage that used to sit in the lobby. It will be wider than the birdcage but about the same height and has a similar roof shape.

Tea Room

Elsewhere in the lobby, crews continue to paint the tea room. The area is still blocked off with see-through white scrim. Work can be seen from the upper floors of the building.

The lobby seating area recently reopened with new carpeting, furniture, and more.
