Thank goodness. Let’s delay this as long as possible until the Genslerism that took hold in WDI is rooted out.FYI, looks like the lobby refurb has been pushed to next year from what I understand.
In addition, the Grand Floridian convention center will close next summer for refurbishment, reopening in the fall.

Seems pretty similar to what it used to be to me shelving/merch wise. It’s mostly in the back of the store and I believe there’s the same amount, if not more, merch. It probably just looks like there’s less merch because the store looks more open and bright.yikes talk about empty where's the merch

Haven’t been there in a week or two, but to my knowledge, they’ve been down for some time and no new ones have taken their place.Does the lobby still have construction walls up
That’s harder for me to answer. Are you asking about in the refurbed store? If so, then quite a bit has changed in the update visually. There’s quite a few articles that show a side-by-side comparison of the “new” and “old”. The footprint is, expectedly, the same.has anything changed other than new paint

The railings and ceiling were repainted when the rooms on the upper floors were redone since they updated the hallways leading to the guest rooms at the same time. Nothing else has changed in the areas of the lobby accessible to visitors not staying in the main building, with the exception of specific spaces like 1900 Park Fare, the gift shop, etc.I've seen pics of the new store, but last I heard, I thought that areas of the lobby had been repainted. I was under the impression that a lot of theming elements would be torn out in favor of something generic and I was curious how much had occurred.
It has not happened. There was some new paint up high, on the pillars and the ceiling 3rd 4th and 5th guest levels. Very subtle.I've seen pics of the new store, but last I heard, I thought that areas of the lobby had been repainted.
