Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Lobby Carpet Renovation Includes Cinderella Carriage

Existing Grand Stair at the Grand Floridian

Last year, Walt Disney World’s flagship resort, the Grand Floridian, made some major renovations to the tile work throughout the resort’s lobby. You can read more about it in this post: Disney Tile You Can’t Buy at The Home Depot.  Well, it looks like the imagineers are at it again, this time reimagining the carpet covering the resort’s grand stairway adjacent to the glass elevator.

The existing carpets are rather divine right now however I was excited to see the whimsical Cinderella Carriage detail to be added into the  base of the grand stairway.

Here are the master plans…

Here’s new new design plan for the second floor of the lobby near the grand stair…

I didn’t get a good long look at the plans but I am wondering if there are any Hidden Mickeys in this new carpet design.  Have you stayed at the Grand Floridian Resort? What did you think?

Until Next Time,

P.S. Another grand event at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is the life sized gingerbread house installed each Christmas. Here’s a video of the construction of that Gingerbread House.
