Things are always changing around Walt Disney World, that is for sure!
No one likes to be surprised by an attraction closure or construction at your favorite restaurant! That’s why we’ve rounded up a list of all the construction currently happening around the Disney parks and beyond — to help you be prepared for your next visit!
Magic Kingdom
TRON: Lightcycle Run
We’ve been looking forward to riding this attraction ever since it was first announced back in 2017! Slowly but surely we’re seeing this ride come together! This week, crews were busy securing more of the white material to the canopy structure.
Let’s see if we can get a closer look at the action…
We’re definitely getting closer, people! Disney has yet to share an official opening date for this attraction, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates!

EPCOT
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
There’s not much new to report over at the upcoming Guardians ride in EPCOT, but we did notice something blue at the base of the Novacorps Starblaster, which we hadn’t seen before!
Crews had still been making final touches to the exterior building paint last time we stopped by!
The queue entrance and signage is also being installed! We’ll be keeping an eye on the progress of this new attraction, but for now, you can expect the ride to open in the summer of 2022!

The lights are on over at what will eventually become Connections Cafe and Eatery in EPCOT! We were able to see them on a recent stroll through the area.
Disney hasn’t shared what kind of fare we can expect from this new restaurant, but you can be sure we’ll update you as soon as we hear something!

Moana: Journey of Water
We can’t wait until we’re able to experience this attraction — sure to be unlike any other! According to Disney, guests will be able to “learn about the importance of the natural water cycle.” Last time we stopped by EPCOT, we took a peek when we took a ride on the monorail and saw a LOT of open space…
… and this week we got a REALLY good look at this green scrim!
An opening timeframe has yet to be announced for this attraction, but you can be sure we’ll keep an eye out for every update we can get!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Toy Story Mania Gift Shop
We’re seeing some movement over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at the Toy Story Mania Gift Shop! The doorway has been covered with a brown scrim…
…and there’s a temporary wall now, too!
This is likely making room for the new gift shop coming to Toy Story Land! We will keep you posted as we learn more.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Expedition Everest
Sometimes rides need to shut down for scheduled maintenance, which is the case here with Expedition Everest! Most of the maintenance seems to be happening inside the mountain, because we haven’t yet spotted any work being done outside!
We’ve seen the occasional testing of this attraction, but it isn’t scheduled to reopen until mid-April 2022. We will keep an eye out for additional construction!
Disney Resorts
Art of Animation
Over at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, the Splash Pad is closed for refurbishment.
Luckily there are PLENTY of places to take a swim at this hotel!
Polynesian Resort
We spotted this refurbishment sign last time we stopped by Disney’s Polynesian Resort, but there didn’t seem to be any work going on!
We’ll be keeping an eye out at this resort and will be sure to update you with any more news!
Contemporary Resort
There’s also some construction going on over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. A temporary wall has been put up in front of Bayview Gifts — but don’t worry, you can still shop!
According to the signs, the “area is being refurbished for your future enjoyment.” We’ll be back to check the progress on this soon!
Well, that’s it for this week’s construction update around Disney World! There’s always a lot going on, so stay tuned to DFB if you want all the latest info!
