8/16 Grand Floridian Tennis Courts Being Demolished (In Preparation for Rumored DVC Expansion)

Hi everyone!

I went to the Magic Kingdom to get my hair cut for the first time at the Harmony Barber Shop! It was a great experience (one I will write about soon), and I was able to get some photos and video of what appears to be demolition of the tennis courts at the Grand Floridian.

The spa is scheduled to close for around 18 months starting on September 19th.  I thought the tennis courts were to stay open until at least that time, but it doesn't look like anyone is playing tennis there again.

I took a photo of the long walls at the Grand Floridian from the monorail first, from the area of the TTC.  There is also work being done at the TTC, which is the next two photos. After that, I took photos at the Grand Floridian from the monorail, and then a few by boat. The major change that I see from our last visit there is at the tennis courts. And in a month, the spa will be closed until 2013. Those who have a spa appointment and/or wedding planned at the Grand Floridian planned are being contacted with information.  I don't know if regular guests are or not.

Check out the video I took!

We are heading to the D23 Expo tomorrow! The next WDW update I may do is of the Halloween decorations at the Magic Kingdom, unless a friend sends me photos in the interim.
