Normally a new floor wouldn't be worth a new topic. But with half the resort being resurfaced it's probably worth its own forum. ;D

Let's take a look at what's happening around the resort!

First of all, Fantasia Gardens. The old concrete really started to show its age, so the new pavement is a true welcome refreshment.



Part of Adventureland is also being repaved.





The Front Lot at the Walt Disney Studios also saw part of its concrete being replaced, though the new concrete has a red color, very different compared to the old floor.

I like the fact that Fantasia Gardens is getting proper paving, I always felt it was let down with a concrete slab for a floor. Not sure about the new surface in the Studio's thought, looks like it could be lethal in the colder, damp weather.

The entrance and queue of "it's a small world" are getting new floors as well.

The new floor of Fantasia Gardens looks really fresh.

I do wish they would bring back those ones just before they disney hotel where you can have your name on it.

Would love one of them ha ha

It is. Very slippy.

More of the old floor has been removed.

@DisneylandBerry has posted some pictures on Twitter of the Fantasia Gardens refurbishment.





@InsideDLParis reports (also on Twitter) that lights has been added to the construction fence. This might indicate that the refurbishment will take a while.

Does anyone know if they are removing the named stones in Fantasia Gardens?

I'm not sure. I can imagine they'll use the name stones that still look good (that's probably most of them).

We've emailed DLP twice and got no response. Rumour has it that they've all been ripped up and disposed of.  Gutted.
