Even more scaffolding and construction walls have gone up around the Fantasyland façade of Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom. The refurbishment project began in September, when we noticed scrim on the wall closest to Peter Pan’s Flight. In early October, the first construction walls went up. Later, more walls and scaffolding blocked most of the façade in Fantasyland — the main entrance to the quick-service restaurant is in Liberty Square.

Now walls, scaffolding, and black scrims block the entire Fantasyland façade from view, except for what is barely visible through the scrims.

While the main entrance is in Liberty Square, there is also a door here in Fantasyland, which remains open and accessible thanks to a tunnel in the construction walls.

A menu board is on the walls just outside of the tunnel.

The initial scrim has been removed from the wall facing Peter Pan’s Flight, with no significant changes. This project seems to just be a refresh of the façade, which resembles buildings one might see in a fairytale village or colonial America.

Columbia Harbour House remains open during the exterior refurbishment from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on most days. It closes at 4:45 p.m. on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party event nights.

The new England-inspired fare includes a Lobster Roll, New England Shrimp Boil, Grilled Shrimp Skewer, Grilled Salmon, Sea Captain’s Fish Sandwich, Mixed Greens Salad, Chicken Strips, and Plant-based Crab Cake Sandwich. In addition to the standard French fries, guests can get clam chowder, green beans, hushpuppies, or rice as sides. The Happy Haunts Milk Shake is currently available for the Halloween season.
