Hiya Heather! Thanks for stopping back to planDisney with this great question.
Oh boy! I'm excited to hear that you're spending Mother's Day weekend at the
Most Magical Place on Earth! I was lucky to celebrate Father's Day at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort a few years ago. It was truly a special time and one that I will remember forever.
I did a little digging on the current refurbishments happening at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. According to the Walt Disney World website, the Courtyard Pool, spa, and Courtyard Pool Bar will close from January 13th until sometime in late February for routine maintenance. Even if this work is extended for a bit of time, I don't believe it will impact your stay in May. I would suggest checking back to the Walt Disney World website in March to see if the updates have been completed.
The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has undergone some major refurbishments over the past few years. When I stayed there back in May 2022, many of the resort rooms in the exterior buildings were being remodeled. We were lucky to stay in a recently completed room, and it was absolutely magnificent. The subtle Disney touches and sheer beauty of the design of the room were breathtaking. Many of the common areas were redone, including many of the dining locations.
Narcoossee's,
Cítricos, and
1900 Park Fare all were somewhat reimangined and opened with new menu items.
Heather, I hope this helps you plan for your upcoming stay. Your best source for any news and information is the
Disney Parks Blog. This site provides fantastic information on everything happening at the parks, resorts, and everything in between.
See ya real soon!
