If there’s one thing we’ve learned over decades of visiting the parks, it’s that things are constantly changing around Disney World! Sometimes we can get hints about upcoming changes based on permits that are filed for construction work around the resort. And we recently spotted a construction permit with an interesting code name that we can’t stop thinking about!

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Let’s take a closer look at the mysterious permit recently filed for Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Disney Has Filed Permits for “Project Fedora”

Back in May, Disney filed construction permits for a mysterious project in Hollywood Studios under the code name “Project Fedora.” The permit filings show that the work is happening near the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular — a character who just so happens to be famous for wearing, that’s right, a fedora!

The initial permits were filed for “general construction,” and we also spotted a permit with the description “install signage.” The contractor listed on the signage permit is Kentavo, which Disney has worked with in the past to install signage in EPCOT.

The most recent permit gives the contractor until June 10th, 2027, to complete the work, but we don’t think it will take quite that long. We have spotted some construction work and barriers happening around the Indiana Jones Theater, so it looks like things are underway!

With only an interesting set of clues to go on so far, we’re officially fascinated with figuring out this mysterious new project!

What is “Project Fedora”?

Disney hasn’t made any announcements about what’s coming to the space, which is only further fueling our curiosity! But, even though we don’t have an official word on what it will be, we can make some guesses based on the context clues.

First, between the location near the exit of Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and the code name that references Indy’s famous accessory, it seems like Project Fedora is probably related to Indiana Jones.

Also, since it’s tucked into an area surrounded by other buildings, attractions, and walkways, it doesn’t seem like it will be anything massive, like a brand-new attraction. In other words, we aren’t expecting something as immersive as Monstropolis, which is also currently under construction on the other side of the park.

So, what potential options are we looking at for Project Fedora? It could be an enhancement related to the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular itself, since the permits show the location just off to the side of the theater.

Or, it could be a new location, like a snack stand or a souvenir stall. It’s less likely than the other options, but there’s an outside chance that it could also house a character meet-and-greet.

The “Project Fedora” code name and construction location have us confident that the work is Indiana Jones-related, but without any official announcements from Disney yet, our minds are continuing to run wild with the clues we’ve got to work with!
