food IS a theme park
There is SO much going on in Disney World right now — it’s hard to keep track of everything!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Splash Mountain is long gone and is becoming Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. New restaurants are being built at Disney’s BoardWalk and Disney Springs. The Moana attraction in EPCOT is coming right along. Now, let’s take a look at Disney’s NEW Disney Vacation Club villas that are coming together at Disney’s Polynesian Resort!
The work at Disney World does NOT seem to stop!
EPCOT
Construction is ongoing at Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, there’s a whole bunch of work going on at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and other updates are underway at places like Disney’s BoardWalk and beyond. But now we’re taking a look at some new permits that could signal what other changes Disney has underway.
If you thought there was enough construction already going on in EPCOT, think again! We’ve spotted even MORE work underway.
EPCOT
EPCOT is undergoing a massive transformation that’ll bring a whole bunch of new things to the park, including Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, some impressive-looking gardens, and even a special Walt Disney statue. But one quieter corner of the park seems to be getting some work done to it too!
There’s been a HUGE change at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World!

We’ve been keeping up with all the news released about this upcoming attraction, as well as checking on what construction looks like in the parks every time we pass by. Today, we got to see a first look at a MAJOR update in Disney World: Tiana’s water tower is officially up!
Okay, buckle up folks — more CHANGES could be hitting Disney World soon.
Cinderella Castle
We’re constantly on the lookout for permits and other clues that could signal what work Disney is looking to start soon. We’ve seen permits that hint at updates at major Disney World rides, hotel changes, and more. And now we’ve spotted a few more you’ll want to know about!
Since it was first announced, we’ve been SO excited for the chance to have our first walkthrough of the Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana! But as much as we’re looking forward to our chance to play in this space…we’re also getting more and more worried.

Guests will be able to explore what Disney has described as a “lush exploration trail” that allows explorers to “play with magical, living water” through an immersive walk-through attraction. Well, we sure hope so.
Multiple different areas of Disney World are under construction right now.
Beach Club Resort
There are tons of construction walls still up in EPCOT, mysterious construction began recently in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney hotels are not spared from the TLC. In fact, Disney’s Beach Club Resort is getting a pretty major makeover, and a new aspect of construction has just begun.
Disney is NOT slowing down when it comes to construction and you need to be prepared!
Tree of Life
Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana is making progress in EPCOT, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is slowly coming together in Magic Kingdom, and there is lots of work going on over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. But recently we spotted ANOTHER construction project that has popped up — this time, over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Can you smell that? It’s the scent of gumbo and beignets!
Mickey 100th anniversary statue in Disneyland
Over in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square, a NEW restaurant is taking shape. Tiana’s Palace Restaurant is a new quick-service restaurant coming to Disneyland, and we cannot WAIT to take a peek inside and eat ALL THE FOOD. For now, though, we’re watching construction on the restaurant, and we’re starting to get a good look at what it’s going to look like!
EPCOT has seen a LOT of change over the past few years as it undergoes a massive transformation. If you’ve visited EPCOT recently, you might have noticed that construction walls seem to be almost everywhere at the front of the park. That’s because there’s still work to be completed.
A LOT is happening at EPCOT right now
Not only is a new Moana-themed attraction coming to that part of the park, but the World Celebration area is getting a HUGE overhaul with new structures and a statue of Walt Disney. So let’s see how construction is coming along on all that.
