Contemporary Resort

Construction continues on the new shop being built on the Grand Canyon Concourse of the Contemporary Resort. The layout and shape of the facility is easy to make out as most of the walls/shelves are in place. I asked a Cast Member when the project is scheduled to be completed and she told me that Disney hopes to open the shop the day after Thanksgiving.

Another change to the area is the elevator that takes guest from the fourth floor to the monorail loading area. The structure has been re-colored from a deep purple to light beige. Also, the new tile floor appears to be completely installed.

The yet to be announced construction project north of the Contemporary is continuing to make progress. More pylons have been installed and a “second” floor is clearly visible in one section. Also, a second crane was added to the project site a couple of weeks ago.
