• Walt Disney World has shared a closer, refreshed look at the grand lobby of the resort featuring one of the hotel's most defining features - expansive floor to ceiling windows that allow a vista of nature's beauty as guests enter the space
• Inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios classic, Pocahontas, a river of fiberoptic light will illuminate in the floor and "flow" around a custom bronze centerpiece designed by Walt Disney Imagineering.

• Those visiting the resort will notice many favorite characters etched into the design of the centerpiece, all from animated Disney favorites.
• Above, the blown-glass Colors of the Wind sculpture features hundreds of suspended glass leaves that fill the space with movement and color.
