Everything from new buildings to vibrant signage to new additions and more.
Get ready and hold on tight! We have a lot of updates, and we are going to move fast!
The Resorts
First up, Polynesian Disney Vacation Club construction is moving right along.
These new photos capture what looks to be a third wing being added!
There are plenty of equipment and constuction vehicles already working early.
Here is another look as our team passes by on the monorail.
As you know, Disney’s Grand Floridian is also undergoing interior renovations.
This pic shows the inside walls and as you look up you can see more tarps and coverings blocking the work going on, though some of the walls have recently been removed.
Grand Floridian is not the only resort undergoing upgrades. Disney’s Beach Club is also renovating.
Interior walls and coverings block the construction and plenty of signs alert guests to the changes happening.
The Theme Parks
Over at Magic Kingdom, we are showing even more changes at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
The progress is happening so quickly, and we are growing more excited for this upcoming new attraction.
Here is another great look at the walls and scaffolding.
Can you see the changes each week?
Over at Animal Kingdom, our team captured some subtle updates. The Tree of Life recently got a refresh.
And it looks great with a new, fresh paint job.
Another paint refresh? Yep- the Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT has also received new paint and now the building colors all match!
The EPCOT parking lot has also been re-painted.
Wow! Here are amazing photos near EPCOT’s park entrance!
The walls are still up blocking guest view, but our team were able to snap some great photo updates. It looks lighting is being added this week.
And its looks like work has also started near the Imagination Pavilion.
It appears that a walkway with new greenery and wooden figures is starting to appear.
And here is a really exciting update and you have to look really close. Water is running at Journey of Moana- could this mean we are getting closer to the opening?
More countries are getting subtle updates. Here is a great pic of Canada.
And we discovered the UK pavilion also getting some updates, though we cannot see the specifics behind the wall of greenery.
Disney Springs
And there are definitely plenty of changes happening at Disney Springs. Recently there have been changes with stores closing and new locations opening.
The much-anticipated Summer House is moving along nicely.
We are so excited to see so much progress and change happening at our favorite Disney locations.
