Construction Continues on Exterior of Salt & Straw at Disney Springs as Opening Day Seemingly Approaches

As Salt & Straw prepares to open at Disney Springs, construction continues on the exterior of the ice cream shop.

Last week, we saw that the exterior had recently been painted.

Salt & Straw’s Chief Marketing officer had announced a March 2022 opening date for the Disney Springs location. Continued exterior construction at the ice cream eatery may indicate a slightly later opening date.

Now, insulation is visible in the upper area of the shop.

A large portion of the wall remains unfinished as of March 28, 2022.

Salt & Straw was recently hiring for ice cream scoopers and other positions.

Are you looking forward to this new Disney Springs ice cream shop? Let us know in the comments.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Lobby to Receive Major Remodel to ‘Modernize’ Hotel

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has been quietly undergoing phases of refurbishment to move away from the old Victorian style and toward a new, modern version (including the increased presence of IP). Other aspects of the resort, including the iconic lobby, are also on the slate for updates.

Reportedly, when Bob Chapek (Disney’s current CEO) took over the Parks & Resorts division in 2015, he felt that the Grand Floridian was not up to standards. The comparisons to a Four Seasons didn’t befit the current state of Walt Disney World, and so it was no longer suitable as the flagship resort. But rather than shift focus to another resort hotel, the company has decided to make changes.

It began with the Enchanted Rose Lounge (pictured above), which replaced Mizner’s Lounge (pictured below). It was given a “Beauty and the Beast” theme.

Cítricos followed with a new Mary Poppins-inspired design, as pictured above. It features rich colors, stronger contrasts, and simpler patterns than its previous look, as seen below.

The new modern aesthetic will be seen next in the upcoming Disney Vacation Club rooms. Eventually, all the standard rooms will be refurbished to match the new design.

When the Grand Floridian Spa reopened in January, it was revealed that it, too, had been remodeled.

The lobby will be one of the last stanchions of the old Grand Floridian style, but it too will likely undergo refurbishment. It is not expected that a performance space for live music will return.
