News Center Street on Magic Kingdom's Main Street U.S.A. partially closed for refurbishment work

[JoeCamel]

To be fair, this is a side street and doesn't really have much of an impact. But the length of time so far is really head-scratching.

I wonder if their waterproofing withstood Ian?

There have been issues with asbestos in this area. That could be why it is taking so long.

Hopefully the new batch of bricks weather in quickly to match the older batch or this is goign to look terrible. Ridiculous how long it takes Disney to do the simplest of things. This should have been knocked out in little more than a week.

I think they are waiting until the next D23 expo to announce the new and improved side street.. opening 2028. This is just ridiculous.

I don’t see any ladders so I doubt it will ever be completed.

Maybe they'll have a retro callback walk-through experience there where they'll set up the original bricks as a photo op with a side-street scrim around them after which, people will have the chance to buy the individual bricks for a couple hundred each so Disney doesn't have to pay anyone to haul them out of the convention center.

They can do it you-pull-it style and treat the process like an experience.

For $149 they will take you down into the utilidor and show you where the leak was

But only for those 16 and up - they want to respect and preserve the magic, after all.

I understand they discovered something under this road which has caused the delay.
