News Mizner's Lounge to be expanded at Disney's Grand Floridan Resort into a Beauty and the Beast inspired lounge

[JayKZ]

Amazing how you didn’t use words like Victorian, Seaside or Florida to describe it.

I wouldn't use those adjectives to describe the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, either. Nor would I so describe the pool, the DVC annex, or even the interior of Narcoosie's. There ARE elements of Victorian Seaside remaining, but the color scheme is decidedly different from the rest of the resort. In the end, it's paint, lamps, and furniture. If it isn't successful, it can be changed easily.

It is disgusting as expected but the lack of taste crowd will eat it up.

Yes, it made me want to vomit when I saw it

At least in the pictures, it's just very meh. Not bad. A bit of a hodgepodge. And, definitely not up to the concept art in style. I love the new patio. And, it could easily be renamed/rethemed if desired. But, overall, it just seems lackluster for the flagship resort. The Dolphin's lobby redo was far superior to this IMHO (let alone Dahlia at Gran Destino).

The bar space looks fine, the tacky mural behind the banquette is cheesy and the mid-century modern "high top" chairs are also atrocious. The patio is lovely. It also doesn't go with the rest of the lobby at all and is a bit too exposed to it.

Blog Mickey has some pictures and descriptions of the different areas.

The chandelier doesn't look nearly as cool in the pictures as it did in the concept art. The rest of it (except maybe the balcony) looks nice to me.

That picture of the garden room - all but one person is on their phone.

Just don't do it on the nice new floors, please.

Bars with lots of chairs makes it harder to squeeze in there and order a drink. Let us know if the band is back up there and if you can hear it from inside.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

I should say, I'm glad it didn't go as far as I thought it would. It's more "odd" than anything. (In a way, sort of like Citricos is, frankly.) So, I guess somewhat of a win?? Ish...???

First thing I noticed as well. Everyone is a dang blogger these days. Steve Porter, I think, looking unhappy in one of the WDW gallery pics.

The restrooms, thankfully, are not authentically 1900 Victorian Seaside either.

Makes the end of the lobby look dark. Does not fit with the theming of the grand at all. The forest room should make who ever thought of it embarrassed. Tacky and with boths like your local Applebees. I especially like the basic door with a exit sign straight out of your local office building. way to keep it classy Bob. Let me put it in a way the IP obsessed Disney management can understand. If this is where the monarchy is headed count me out. I'll take my vacation dollars elsewhere

 

[kane47]

Looks like my local Marriott lobby bar. Standard contemporary based furniture with no personality. I hope disney lowers the price of the Grand to match the Marriott's if this is the generic crap they have planed for the rest of the resort.

the tacky mural behind the banquette is cheesy

And is from Sleeping Beauty, which just muddles the theme even more.

 

[lazyboy97o]

The raised floor makes the area along the windows awkward. The windows and ceilings are now too low.

I especially like the basic door with a exit sign straight out of your local office building.

I like that they spent the money on concealed sprinkler heads but didn’t bother to pick a color besides white.

Do people whine this much in real life or just online? The Grand Floridian's exterior is based on a Californian hotel so it's never matched it's theme.

The dark cyan with the warm (yellow) lighting is hideous....

As for the other rooms, they experimented with other shades of blue, some of them that worked wonderfully with the yellow/gold, and others not so much.
