This looks like there's a possibility the walls could come down around the GF Cafe sooner rather than later...
We did ER a few weeks ago and both places had windows covered. Since we go often it was ok for us but it’s not the same feeling not to see outside.Has anyone eaten at Citricos lately? It had been reported that the windows were covered up because of the view of unsightly construction. Wondering if this is still the case and if so, how long will it be like that? Any information appreciated. We like to have a table by the windows for the view of the grounds. If the windows are blocked I'm worried the experience will be diminished.
Thanks for the update. I know from reading your posts that you aren't very bothered by the construction. I applaud your ability to let things roll off your back. I, on the other hand, get super annoyed by construction on vacation. We live in a new build community and it's been nothing but construction noise and disruption for three years. I manage at home but when I get away I want nothing to do with it! I agree with you that both locations are lovely. I just have to decide whether or not I can enjoy them without the window views. Thanks again.We did ER a few weeks ago and both places had windows covered. Since we go often it was ok for us but it’s not the same feeling not to see outside.
The light still comes through, they use opaque plastic sheeting to cover the windows.
The locations themselves are lovely at least.
How soon is your trip? Can you wait until you arrive to cancel or are you looking to book another restaurant at the same time now? As they finish up sections, they are removing scaffolding and the construction walls (see the recent photos of the Gasparilla's area in this thread.) From that construction video last week, it looked like another section would have the walls removed soon (and likewise I'm sure the window coverings.) We just don't know how quickly they are working and sometimes we go a few weeks before we get updated photos/videos of the GF... I have a GF Cafe reservation next month that I will cancel if it's still all blocked off, but I'm comfortable waiting until we arrive to cancel so I can see the current state for myself.Thanks for the update.

Yep that is what is nice about Disney, something for everyone. Maybe try CG or Kona?Thanks for the update. I know from reading your posts that you aren't very bothered by the construction.

We are heading there in a few days for a stay at Contemporary. I'm okay with being flexible for that trip as it's just two of us. So in that case I'll do as you suggest.

We've been in Narcoossees a couple times at Fireworks time. If you have a window seat, it's nice, but they encourage people to go outside to the deck area during Fireworks, so there is a good chance, someone will be just outside your table on the other side of the window, blocking your view.Was going to try to book Narcoossee to listen and watch the fireworks one night - but was told the people walking over and standing next to Narcoossee probably have a better view. That would be disappointing since I don't really want to eat that late anyway. Any suggestions?
GF alum who have done massages at Senses - how was your experience. DH and I have booked a couples massage there for our trip next month. We've never been to Sense and I would love some first hand accounts.
Fwiw last year it was already up on the 16th when I arrived, I want to say it’s usually 13/14th give or take.Any mention of the gingerbread house or Christmas decor in the lobby?
I’m trying to decide if I should switch from contemporary to GF mid November and the construction has me leaning towards keeping the CR! Help! Lol

I believe they delayed main building construction so that the tree and GB house could be up. Disney is terrible with announcing times for holiday set up’s. As usual, wait and see.
It was available the end of August. Enjoy!Can anyone confirm for me (who has been in the past few weeks or that is currently there) if the glass slipper photo pass spot is still available on the second floor?
My daughter is going as Cinderella for MNSSHP and I would love to have her photo taken there.
