Walt Disney World Construction Roundup, March 13, 2023
Just like Walt wanted, Walt Disney World Resort is constantly in a state of becoming. So many construction projects are underway, it can be hard to keep track!
We’ve rounded up the big construction stories this week and complied them right here for easy-reading. Here’s what’s happening at WDW this week:
Buttercup Arrives at Roundup Rodeo BBQ
A new character has been added to Roundup Rodeo’s facade!
Buttercup the unicorn is now a feature character on the new restaurant. Set to open in just 10 days, Roundup Rodeo BBQ will be adding its finishing touches in the coming days.
Contemporary Pool Refurbishment
The main pool over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort won’t be welcoming any spring breakers this year. The main pool is currently in the process of being re-surfaced ahead of the summer crowds.
Guests staying at the Contemporary are welcome to use Bay Lake’s pool in the interim.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
The former site of Splash Mountain is looking different by the day! Even more scaffolding has appeared around the attraction’s facade this week.
Complete with blue safety mesh, the scaffolding’s arrival signals just how quickly the Imagineers are getting to work on re-themeing the attraction.
Plus, their constant presence on-site can only mean interior work on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is under way as well.
Polynesian DVC Tower
The new DVC Tower at the Polynesian has practically doubled in height overnight! Elevator shafts now stretch 4+ stories tall. Guest room windows and stair shafts can now be seen from the Monorail.
Plumbing pipes arrived on-site this weekend, and underground installation is expected to begin this week.
Summer House
Disney Springs’ newest eatery is making some visible progress! The skeleton structure of the new restaurant location can be seen more clearly above the construction walls.
Summer House is expected to open sometime this year. Stay tuned right here for more construction updates from MickeyBlog!
