A portion of the lobby at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside is closed for refurbishment, according to WDW News Today. The affected area is on the right side of the resort’s main building when guests enter.

Black curtains currently block much of the check-in and guest services area, though both services remain available at the far end of the lobby. Seating is still available in other sections of the space.

The restrooms in the affected area are closed, with guests directed to the restrooms at River Roost bar. The lobby’s guest mailbox has been relocated to Fulton’s General Store, the resort gift shop.

WDW News Today reported seeing construction equipment and signs of paint work behind the curtains, including painter’s tape around gold details on columns and a gray-painted back wall. The lobby’s chandeliers and ceiling fans remain in operation.
