Overview
- On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, crews removed the protective netting and black scrims that had concealed a section of the Grand Canyon Concourse ceiling and revealed a replaced run of tiles near the Mary Blair mural above Fantasia Market.
- Photographs and reports show the new tiles blend with the surrounding ceiling and skylights, restoring the atrium’s open look after work that began in late 2025.
- Walt Disney World’s official site confirms the resort-wide refurbishment will continue through late 2027 and warns guests that construction may be visible, audible, or affect exterior room views.
- Disney says most Deluxe Resort amenities remain available and Monorail service is operating normally, and it directs guests to the Front Desk for the latest on any route changes or disruptions during a stay.
- The project is being done in phases focused on ceiling and atrium infrastructure, so travelers should expect daytime work, occasional alternate paths through the towers, and further visible milestones as repairs proceed.
