Disney’s Grand Floridian Rumored DVC Villas Construction, Magic Kingdom Fantasyland Construction Update – Photos & Video

Hi everyone!

Yesterday afternoon we stopped by Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort before heading to the Magic Kingdom to do some recording for my next project. The construction wall (for the rumored DVC expansion) spans much of the sidewalk between the main building and the Wedding Pavilion (below left). Walls also lead into the Grand Floridian Spa (below, right).

From the plans we’ve seen online, the villas and access roads will be in this area (below, left) – making it harder to see the Wedding Pavilion and beach from different vantage points. We also were told that the wallpaper at the Grand Floridian was recently changed. We took photos of it and if you look carefully you will spot a hidden Mickey (below, right).

Video #1 – Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Disney Vacation Club Villa Construction 7/25/11 – A wall spanning the length of the walkway between the Wedding Pavilion and the main building has been erected at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, for the rumored Disney Vacation Club Villas.

The clouds rolled in yesterday as we were at the Magic Kingdom (below, left). The construction in front of Beast’s Castle has progressed a bit since we last visited (below, right). These Castles look like they are similar in size in the photos below but this is not the case when up close.

Small trees dot the landscape in front of Beast’s Castle (below, left). Belle’s Cottage sits in front of the rock work that now has added green color to it – looking like moss has been growing (below, right).

Bonjour Village Gifts (below, left) is next to Beast’s Castle. Looking into Storybook Circus, we think this is the construction on the new train station (below, right).

The PeopleMover stopped for a couple of minutes, giving us a great view of Fantasyland (below, left). And a wall is now up in front of Pinocchio’s Village Haus – though it’s still open (below, right).

Video #2 – Fantasyland Construction Beasts Castle, Mermaid, Dumbo’s Circus 7/25/11 Including From People Mover – Video from July 25th that includes Beast’s Castle, Little Mermaid and Dumbo’s Circus construction. We were stopped on the PeopleMover for a couple of minutes and have an extended look from there!

Denise took this beautiful photo of Prince Charming Carousel before we went onto Snow White’s Scary Adventures (below, left). We try to get in as many rides on this original opening day dark ride before it closes to make way for the new princess meet & greet. Fireworks explode over the Fantasyland expansion (below, right). If you look carefully you can see the Beasts Castle below the Wishes fireworks finale!
