Grand Floridian

Disney has shared some new details on the updated lounge soon to open at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

Walt Disney World intends to construct a path linking the Magic Kingdom theme park to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. 

Mizner's Lounge closed for refurbishment earlier this month, but the work is far more substantial than applying a fresh coat of paint.

According to sources, Walt Disney World resorts are in the process of removing MagicBand touch pads from pool entry points.  

The feature pool at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa appears set to reopen sooner than anticipated.
