Disney’s Contemporary Resort
There’s been a lot of construction there recently as The Wave…of American Flavors becomes a new restaurant, Steakhouse 71. And the rooms are in the process of getting an Incredibles theme! As a result of all the construction, we’ve seen a lot of scrims and construction walls throughout the hotel!
Yesterday, we showed you that the construction scrim on the top levels was starting to come down.

Scrim is coming down!
Well, today, the hotel is looking a little less like a mess as we saw many of those construction walls come down, including those around the lobby, which has reopened. Here’s what the lobby used to look like:

The old Contemporary lobby
Here’s what it looks like now! Talk about drastically different. It’s way more light and open.

New lobby!
The former long front desk has now been broken up into smaller counters.

An improvement?
This sitting area is also more spacious and inviting — and check out that gorgeous Mary Blair-inspired mural!

Look at that mural!
Here’s another seating area in the lobby. Again, it’s so bright and themed with some more cool artwork.
