food IS a theme park
There are quite a few construction projects going on around Disney World!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
One of those involves a massive transformation to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, which is getting reimagined rooms and a refurbished monorail station, lobby, and front entrance. We’ve been closely following this hotel’s progress, and recently, work took a BIG step forward!
It’s time to catch up on all the construction updates going on around Walt Disney World!
Let’s check in on some of those “home” improvements
There are quite a few walls up around the parks and resorts right now as Disney continues to make progress on all the projects they have leading up to the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations. And, while we spent a lot of the week discovering new construction walls and skrim, one project DID wrap up! So, let’s check it all out!
Nowadays in Disney World, construction crews are as commonplace as Character Cavalcades!
A Look at the Tron Construction
With refurbishments and new developments taking place ALL over the parks and resorts, construction walls have become a frequent site. One prime example is Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, where not only are the rooms getting a major Moana makeover, but the Monorail station is getting a serious overhaul of its own!
There is no shortage of construction projects going on around Walt Disney World as they prepare for the 50th-anniversary celebrations this year!
Magic Kingdom
This week was filled with more progress on some long-term projects that we’ve been keeping track of and we even got a surprise at the end of the week that answered our questions about some mystery construction we spotted back in March. So, let’s get to all the updates from this week!
We’re back with another construction update from Walt Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Things have been BUSY around the Disney Parks and Resorts, to say the least! Between new paint jobs, more testing for new shows, and reopening stores, there has been a lot to keep track of! And, you may not believe the kinds of projects that Disney is willing to throw up some construction walls for. So, we’ve got a lot to cover — let’s get to it!
We’re less than ONE MONTH away from the grand opening of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure!
What’s that blue stuff?
This ALL new land of marvelous Marvel stuff is set to open on June 4th!
Disney’s left a few projects with some loose ends since reopening last year.
Disney Springs
For example: WHEN will Space 220 open in EPCOT? Is Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser still opening in 2021? The list goes on. But good news! Today, we did get an update on one of these projects: Beatrix in Disney Springs.
Lately, with all of our feverish excitement, we’ve been feeling like groupies for the construction barges at Disney World!
Harmonious Barge
It’s without question that EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, is one of our most anticipated attractions in Disney World, which is why we get SUPER psyched any time we see new construction afloat. And continuing this pattern of eager fandom, we spotted another construction barge on World Showcase Lagoon today!
Ready to go on a virtual trip around EPCOT?
Spaceship Earth
We’re constantly visiting the Disney World theme parks and more to see what’s new. During our most recent visit to EPCOT we spotted NEW Minnie ears, saw that a spot that JUST opened was CLOSED(!!), and got a look at lots of construction going on around the park. Join us for a virtual trip around this experimental prototype community of tomorrow to see all of the things that are new there!
We have been waiting to eat at Space 220 for a WHILE now.
Mission: SPACE and Upcoming Space 220
This new restaurant coming to EPCOT is set to send guests onto the Centauri Space Station where they’ll enjoy dinner with a view of Earth from SPACE. The restaurant was supposed to open back in 2019, but it has been delayed for a number of reasons. Today we spotted something that might indicate there’s some more progress being made.
