We know you’ve heard it before: Disney World is currently undergoing a TON of construction. But instead of talking about the big projects you’re already familiar with, like Piston Peak or Monstropolis, today we have other small projects to discuss.

Disney just released almost twenty new construction permits, and most of them have NOTHING to do with the big projects happening around the resort. So, let’s dive in!

Shockingly, the majority of these permits actually have nothing to do with the parks at all. Most of them are happening over in Disney Springs.

Currently, Disney has filed permits for “General Construction” at the following locations in Disney Springs:

• Jock Lindsay’s Hangar Bar
• Crystal Art
• Marketplace Snacks
• Rainforest Cafe
• Art of Disney
• Wonderful World of Memories
• Spice and Tea Exchange
• Earl of Sandwich
• Disney’s Day of Christmas
• Pin Traders
• Once Upon a Toy
• Basin

Unfortunately, Disney has not yet released any additional information beyond that all of these locations will be undergoing general construction in the future. However, many of these spots are in the Marketplace section of Disney Springs, so this area may be getting a general refurbishment in the future.

But Disney Springs is not the only Disney World spot with some permits on the horizon. There are also two new permits over in Magic Kingdom, specifically at Pirates of the Caribbean.

Disney just released two permits for “labor, material, and/or electrical for construction,” which means we can most likely expect some construction or refurbishment happening at this attraction in the future. The first of the permits was for the queue and facade of the attraction, but the second was for the actual building. Disney has not yet announced any closures for Pirates of the Caribbean, but it’s possible these permits are a hint that we can expect a closure at some point in the future.

There were also a few new permits for some locations across the other parks. Starting with Hollywood Studios, a permit has been filed for Electrical Work at Theater of the Stars. This is the theater that is the home of Beauty and the Beast – Live On Stage.

Lastly, two new permits have been filed for Animal Kingdom. First, for Electrical Work over at the Gorilla Building. Then, of course, we couldn’t escape a permit update, with at least one permit for one of the big projects. There was a permit filed for General Construction at the former Restaurantosaurus in the new Tropical Americas area. It is possible that this construction will include taking this building down or beginning the process of transforming it for the new land.

We will continue to bring you all of the construction and permit updates across Disney World, so stay tuned to Disney Food Blog so you never miss anything!
