The construction cranes were still surrounding Cinderella Castle on Monday, the first day of Disney World’s temporary closure. Was it a sign Disney might be continuing on with some of its many projects that are currently underway?

It appears not. According to the Orlando Business Journal, Disney has halted all construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping our country.
Since Disney World and Disneyland are sadly closed for the time being, the DFB team and some of our kiddos have pulled together some of our TOP Disney+ movie marathon pics.

Ah, Disney World — the Most Magical Place on Earth and, potentially, also the place with the most construction barriers on Earth! Okay, okay, maybe we’re exaggerating; but there is a LOT of construction in Disney World right now. Just think about all of the different refurbishments we’re seeing around the parks!
Construction Outside of Test Track Cool Wash
Well, we like to be on top of the closures and construction and upcoming stuff so that YOU guys know how to plan around all of it. And that means keeping an eye on the building permits and patents that Disney World files.
Sometimes we see permits for work that’s visible in the parks, like for the upcoming Regal Eagle Smokehouse in Epcot or for the maintenance on Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom. However, a lot of the permits and patents we see are for work that isn’t visible to the public…yet! So, here are a few secret, backstage updates that you CAN’T see in Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
