If you’re honest, you’ll agree that most of us feel some type of way about the construction projects at Disney World!

We love Disney and all, but just about everywhere you look some type of construction is happening, and for some of them, they seem to take forever to complete. It’s that situation that got us thinking about Disney’s construction timelines and we wanted to pick your brains to find out how you felt about them! Well, we asked and you delivered!

We reached out to our followers on Facebook to ask: “Does Disney take too long to construct its new rides, restaurants, hotels, etc.?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!

Now, let’s dive into some of your top responses!

The “Yes and It’s a Problem” Camp

First up, we’ve got a solid group of you who think that Disney’s construction timelines are getting out of hand.

To this point, DFB reader Laura, talking about the new CommuniCore, shared, “Yes, it took way too long for what it offers.” And she’s not alone. Shawn chimed in by comparing Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and TRON Lightcycle Run and shared, “I would say so. Tiana’s came up pretty quick, but just look at how long TRON took. Remember how long it took for the original Test Track to be finished.”

Then we’ve got Charlotte, who brought the comparison to Universal Orlando by adding, “Universal has built a whole theme park in less time than it took to revamp EPCOT. Even with Covid, and according to the local news, they are ahead of schedule.” Last up, we’ve got Luke who mentioned, “Yes! In the same time Disney builds a clone of a ride they have in another park (that itself still has issues and breaks down), other theme parks including Universal have a whole new unique land/hub open with flawless rides.”

The “No, They’re Doing It Right” Crew

Next up, there’s a sizeable group of you who think Disney is doing just fine with their timelines.

First up, DFB reader Laura shared, “For the resort hotels and rides, I can see how safety, comfort, and luxury would take a long time to construct properly.” Karen echoed that sentiment by giving props to Disney’s commitment to quality by saying, “I don’t think so. The Disney quality shows in everything they do! Kudos to those talented Imagineers!” Then Doug added, “No, they take as long as it takes to get everything completed safely.”

We have Steven wrapping this one up reminding us about the payoff of these long waits with, “I don’t think so. The new attractions are so awesome and over the top. It takes time for perfection. If they pulled it off any quicker, it would be at the expense of theming on the ride and in the queue. Look at the Ratatouille attraction compared to Cosmic Rewind. Ratatouille has no theming until right before boarding.”

The “It Depends” Squad

Lastly, we have the group of you in the middle ground when it comes to the timelines.

For example, we had DFB reader Jessi share, “To me, it depends on the project. With Tiana’s, it’s the same exact ride system so I feel like it could’ve been switched over rather quickly. But with something like Cosmic Rewind, it required a complete overhaul with new tracks, new tech, and everything in between. If it’s totally original, they can take all the time they need because at least you’ll know it’s worth it.”

Those were just some of your thoughts regarding Disney’s construction timelines at Disney World, and we want to hear more from you! Until then, keep it right here for all the latest Disney news! Also, follow us on Facebook to join in on the next discussion.
