Although there are other Disney Deluxe Resorts — including Disney’s Riviera Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort — the Grand Floridian is the crown jewel on property.

Now, it seems that the turn-of-the-century-inspired hotel might be getting some theming updates. The information comes courtesy of a recently filed construction permit that lists “General Construction” as its purpose.

While this is a vague description that can mean anything from a minor change to a major overhaul, the key thing here, however, is the name of the contractor who will be completing the project.

MLC Theming, Inc. is a specialty company that generally works on large-scale ride theming projects — in fact, they are currently also slated to do work on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park — so it is intriguing to see their name on a Resort hotel permit.
