Construction restarted at Walt Disney World Resort - What is Actually still on

[Haymarket2008]

Sooooo thread lock and someone can make a new one?

 

[CastAStone]

Well since someone inexplicably bumped a 6 month untouched thread, I’ll take a swing at it.

Have questions:

• Anyone know the status on the WL cash room refurb? I assume it is long since finished?
• Is MK entry finished?
• Is TTC work finished?
• Have the resumed work on or completed the Epcot transportation hub?
• I previously had Woody’s Backyard BBQ as restarted but now that seems wrong? Anyone know?

Thanks y’all

WL room refurb still ongoing, but resort is set to open in May or June so presumably near to completion.

TTC has a bunch of white tents out front

 

[CastAStone]

i guess there’s no rush to finish the TTC security bubble if the Epcot line is closed

 

[CastAStone]

Animal Kingdom entrance is another one I feel like has to be done by now......right?

Have they held the christening?

To open a swing bridge ? How would that work ? Dangle the bottle and have the bridge swing and crack it ?

No seriously if they did I am not aware of it, I just know its finished and open to the public

Its been done since the park opened.

 

[CastAStone]

Its been done since the park opened.

They had the construction walls up to the left of security that you can see in this picture for a while after opening, I can’t find a post opening picture but I know these were there (there’s comments on it up thread)

Those couldn't have been there that much longer.

Epcots entry area from what I understand is now complete {complete with new music speakers with amazing sound!} All construction walls appear to be down and Leave a Legacy is also back and open if you want to call it that

Is the fountain on all the time yet?

And I don’t know if all the Leave a Legacy tiles are up either.

From the Epcot thread:

Things not happening (for now... maybe...)

The only thing that may be totally scrapped is the Festival building. Right now, Disney's saying that there will be a Festival *area*. We presume grass and booths. There's a rumor that once the parks are back at normal capacity and finances stabilize, they may still make a stab at the proposed 3-tier toadstool building.

Mary Poppins [a story-time attraction] is indefinitely delayed.

The Wishing Tree's status is unknown.

The Spaceship Earth uptheming is indefinitely delayed.

And... that's it.

From what I understand before covid the plan was for SSE overhaul to begin in May of 2020, but because of rthe park closure and the demand for the ride as a whole the idea was put on the "CANCELLED ? pile"

At least that is how I see it, I cant confirm or deny anything, this is just what I observe

Here...

Blog Mickey jumped to conclusions. Yes, the odyssey display was purposely changed. This is because the park overhaul - and the timeline - is being re evaluated and will change. SSE will have a refurb, just not yet. To what extent is still being decided upon.

The refurb is not cancelled. Just postponed and like other things may have a change of direction.

Since some of you were wondering what is on the table and what isn't, here's the latest update from a friend. Take it with a grain of salt, but this particular source has been mostly accurate in the past.

Status of Active Projects

SSE - Indefinitely Delayed

I appreciate the project status list, but what we really need is an Insider Status list!

We need a list that shows who is a real insider and who is a fake insider (and, just to appease @WDW Pro, we should include an accuracy percentage).

I looked into doing this, but it's hard to really gauge. So many rumors have a multitude of people weighing in on them. If someone weighs in on it and gives a piece of the puzzle how much do you count that?

And info comes and goes. Some people come across info in different ways so no one knows everything except for.......
