There’s a net fence around the lagoon and scaffolding covers the building. White tarps wrap around the top level of scaffolding for extra shade.

The Resort Studio rooms start at 16 Disney Vacation Club points per night and go all the way up to 55 points per night, depending on view and season. This pricing aligns with Deluxe Studios at the Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

However, the Resort Studios offer Theme Park View rooms, costing more points. Previously The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa did not offer Theme Park View rooms.

We previously got a look at the interior of the new villas. Disney also released a short documentary on the expansion.
