There was a snippet in today's dining article in the Orlando Sentinel about a possible refurbishment of the Contemporary and its restaurants; as well as some changes to the EPCOT restaurants. The thoughts mentioned all sound great to me, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what comes of it.
Here is what was mentioned and a link to the original article.

When Contemporary is old
The Hound has learned that Disney's Contemporary Resort is headed for a complete overhaul, including the top floor, top-notch California Grill. New York designer Jeffery Beers has been tapped to do the redo. Designs are still in the wishful-thinking phase, so nothing has been sketched out. You can, however, say good-bye to the Jetsons-era lobby -- that was so last century. And I hear that besides doing the existing restaurants, which also include Concourse Steakhouse and Chef Mickey's don't-call-it-a-buffet buffet, Disney's culineers are planning a new restaurant to join the dinner lineup. Think something more for adults but without Paris Hilton attached. More details later.
While we're at Disney, watch for a major announcement on renovations at Epcot, with special focus on the restaurants surrounding the World Showcase. Any official word is still a few months away -- and we've heard this before -- but this may finally signal a new restaurant for the United States pavilion. I can tell you one disappointing detail: The idea to perhaps make the dining venues accessible without admission to the theme park is off the table.
