It looks like the refurbishment of Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom is nearing an end as all construction walls have been removed and minimal scrim remains on the restaurant.
Columbia Harbour House Refurbishment
The quick-service restaurant remained open during this months-long exterior refurbishment. Lamps were replaced and then returned on the side of the restaurant facing stroller parking.
There are still two pieces of black scrim over a section of railing in this corner. The railing overlooks the outdoor stairs leading down from the second-story dining room.
Around the corner, scrim previously covered the yellow wall around a trio of windows.
That scrim is now gone and construction walls are down from the other side of the main entrance.
The refurbishment has mostly involved repainting. There aren’t major changes to the restaurant’s appearance.
Crews repainted the windows above the main entrance. When we took the above photo, one of the window frames was still partially yellow.
When we returned a few days later, the paint job was complete and both frames were brown.
A month ago, scaffolding, scrim, and construction walls covered the wall on the left of the main entrance.
A piece of scrim still covers the wall’s mural. It previously depicted a harbor with the ship Columbia and the restaurant’s name across the top.
A yellow plank is missing from this thin section of wall. It’s next to the bridge that crosses the pathway between Fantasyland and Liberty Square.
There is a strip of black scrim in the gap.
Scrim is gone from the other side of the bridge. It previously completely covered the Fantasyland side of the structure.
New plants have been added to this stone planter, which was emptied during earlier construction.
