Paradiso 37 is undergoing a large expansion project that will see it double its seating capacity, add an outdoor live entertainment stage, and add a second entrance on the other side of the building.

Much of the new seating will be on the waterside, giving great views across the Village Lake form the terrace. Along with the expansion of the building will come a new exterior paint scheme to fit closer with the rest of The Landing district of Disney Springs.

The restaurant will remain open during the work, which is set to be completed by the summer of 2015. Click the gallery for more photos.

PHOTOS - Disney Springs Paradiso 37 expansion update
Good for them. I wish I loved the food as much as I love the atmosphere.
Photo update as of Saturday, Apr 4.

The construction walls were moved back this week from the front of Paradiso 37, opening a small area for drinks and dining, next to the primary walkway through The Landing. In the two photos below, you can see the roof frame for the water view extension on the right side of the building.



The construction wall to the right surrounds The Hangar.



A view from the "uphill" side of Paradiso 37, showing the extension wraps around the existing building. Overlooking the primary walkway is this circular feature.

circular feature with NO WINDOWS on the level that we can see above the walls... so storage above a large party table?
Photo update as of Sunday, Sept 4. A side deck of Paradiso 37 opened this week, with "garage" doors opening to the main dining room. This area has a standing bar countertop along the outer rail, overlooking the walkway. The entire building has a fresh coat of paint. The upper level is a dark beige, but appears almost white in this morning photo. Construction continues in the back and on the lakeside of the building.
Photo update as of Thursday, Sept 24. The expansion of Paradiso 37 is almost complete, with many sections now open. The original side deck now has a circular shaped outdoor extension, both overlooking the new ferry boat dock.

At the back of the building, a new indoor/outdoor extension was built overlooking the lake. Much of this extension has "garage" type doors that open when the weather is comfortable. This photo was taken from the new ferry boat dock ramp.

The west end of the building has another entrance: a circular tower, which matches the original entrance in the center of the building. Here a workman is installed a new menu board. The construction wall on the left surrounds the old Adventurer's Club, to be repurposed as Edison. Between this construction wall and this end of Paradiso 37, a narrow outdoor deck has opened for Paradiso 37. See photos below.

Below is the narrow outdoor dining area at the west end of Paradiso 37, with the construction wall around Edison on the left.

At the back of this narrow dining deck, there is a staircase leading to the temporary walkway built two years ago over the lake when construction was ongoing at The Landing. It is likely this will be an emergency escape staircase, not for general use.

Downtown Disney has really gone down hill, look at the derelicts sleeping on the sidewalk. ;)
