Disney4me Posted 51 minutes ago Report Posted 51 minutes ago In case you missed it, Disney World is currently in the middle of MANY construction projects as they work to bring brand-new lands and experiences to the parks. While the parks right now can feel like a city of construction walls, we know it will all be worth it when some of these lands begin to open next year. Tropical Americas Construction 2027 marks the opening of both Tropical Americas in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Monstropolis in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We cannot wait to experience these lands when they open, but Disney just dropped two NEW permits that give us hints into the construction progress, and we are not sure how to feel about one of them… While permits might seem tedious and boring from the outside, they can actually provide a TON of insight into projects Disney is bringing to the parks. For example, a permit was filed several months ago for a mystery project called “Project Fedora.” We knew that this was being built in Hollywood Studios, but not much other than that. We followed the permit clues for months until Disney recently confirmed this secret project was a new Indiana Jones-themed playground coming to the park. ©Disney So, as you can see, permits are important to pay attention to, which is why we are always searching for newly released permits to break down. Well, this week Disney actually dropped two new permits, one for Tropical Americas and the other for Monstropolis. Let’s head over to Animal Kingdom and go over the Tropical Americas permit first. Construction This permit states that the “General Construction” happening on the land has been extended. The construction is now set to continue through November of 2027. However, that does not necessarily impact the opening schedule. Disney has not yet provided details for the opening of Tropical Americas beyond stating it will open sometime in 2027. Tropical Americas With large construction projects, it is possible for small work and testing to occur even after the land has opened. So, while this could mean the opening of Tropical Americas might be pushed back, Disney has not provided any official news at this time that Tropical Americas will not be opening in 2027. Tropical Americas However, several months ago the 2027 opening date was removed from the Disney World website, but the 2027 timeline still remains in other news Disney has shared about Tropical Americas. We will continue to monitor the situation and share if Disney ever officially changes the current 2027 timeline. Tropical Americas Moving over to Monstropolis, a permit was filed to “Install set elements.” While Disney has not confirmed the specifics of these set elements, we are hopeful that this is a construction update on the highly anticipated Door Coaster that is set to open after the rest of the land. ©Bioreconstruct Disney has been making a lot of progress on the coaster’s construction over the past several weeks, and we would love to see it come together even more. However, this permit could also be referring to adding elements to the new show coming to the land, “Welcome to Monstropolis.” We will continue to keep a close eye on the construction occurring around Monstropolis for any new set elements or details that might pop up around the land.
