Construction has really ramped up this year at Disney World!
Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
EPCOT has already seen a few updates, with more on the way. Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom got a makeover, and several rides are currently in progress. But Disney’s Hollywood Studios might get some work done soon, too!
Disney recently filed some new permits for work at Hollywood Studios. This includes Theatre of the Stars, with a building permit being filed for work there. The work is being done by Buena Vista Construction Company with the work listed as “Provide labor, material, and/or electrical for construction.”

Another permit was filed for an area near Oasis Canteen with the same company doing the same work.

Finally, a third permit shows even more work to be done at Hollywood Studios. This work, though, is being done by SmartWatch Security & Sound for work to “provide and install access control barrier gate and associated hardware.”

The interesting thing is that these three permits are around theaters that have shows at Hollywood Studios, including Theater of the Stars, the Indiana Jones EPIC Stunt Show Theater, and the Fantasmic! amphitheater.

Right now, those shows are all closed, making any construction in those areas easy to knock out. Could this mean there’s progress in getting some of these shows back up and running? We’re already seeing some entertainment returning to the parks (with the Festival of the Lion King coming back this summer). Nothing has been announced by Disney so time will tell. Remember these permits are mega vague so they could be for something routine or not. We’ll let you know when we find out for sure!
Heads Up, Your Disney World Castle Photos Might Look a Little MORE Different!
