    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    Not after the lobby, the GF convention center refurbishment is already in progress right now. Speculation aside, there is no credible source that believes the ginger bread house will not be back in 2026. I do wonder if they can put in the Lobby's Christmas tree where is usually goes both...

    I have not seen this posted but have noticed Roger pulling/pushing Walters consist recently.

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Glad you liked it in person. So did I! Agree that it has good bones. My thought exactly. It's on the cusp of good to very good. With minimal investment it could cross that and just be a very good. With a solid investment to expand it it could even cross over to to excellent.

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Wow. Well I learned something today. I had no idea this ever existed. I'm not sure I love it as it looks a little bit like I should be wearing 3D glasses to view these and I'm not so they're blurry. But still very cool that I didn't even know if these existed. Thank you for sharing that! But...

    News Kidani Village and Jambo House Guest Room Refurbishment Dates at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

    I think it'll be Lion King art on the walls and reveal once the Murphy bed is pulled down but regular curtains. Might have some of the kitchen tile backsplash be " African inspired" patterns.

    Great response. I enjoyed reading A contradiction without it ever feeling even remotely personal. Something increasingly rare on these forums so credit to you and thank you for keeping it civil. Great example and yes a bit anecdotal. I absolutely acknowledge the high overhead cost but at the...

    I already gave a number. And we are definitely going to disagree on this one. Over 11 million in profit in one month. I'll elaborate only to say that the month was one of the months of this year, 2025. I'll also add that there is no world in which 90% of the profit is coming from the retail...

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    Yes this may absolutely be correct. Recently learned what I consider to be an impressive financial statistic about one of the deluxe hotels, just that one, made a profit of over 11 million in 1 month. For clarification, this was literally profit. Not revenue. But actual money in the pocket...

    I have work hotels for over 30 years and 7 of those where Disney Front Desk. 2 as hourly and 5 in a salary capacity. These are two very interesting takes. Thank you both for sharing

    That was a lot.... you're passionately against it. I think it's important to keep this in context that technology is changing. More and more people are going to wireless technology in their lives, and so goes the technology that hotels use at their front desk. Something that seems to have...

    I've never seen them used at a Disneyland Resort. And I've never done the coast starlight. It's definitely on my bucket list. A few days at Disneyland and then starlight to Seattle. I want to go the whole way.

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    I did a Google search on whether or not Hyatt is still Using iPads today and the answer varys a bit depending on how the search is worded. Seems they've largely replaced it the process with the World of Hyatt app. Completely off topic but interesting that you've mentioned Emeryville. Have...

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    Fully aware, and was very much the point. They've been doing it for a long time. Agreed that not all of them do it, but the article never claims that all of them do it just at an increasing amount of hyatts do. Maybe they altered course since 2013, I don't know. But clearly Disney is not the...
