When is the "Africa Marketplace" expansion opening?

[Belle61513]

I can't find any updated articles after Nov 2014, but all say it's expected to open "Spring 2015"...hoping it will be open for our mid-May trip, as I LOVE shopping, eating and drinking in Africa.

In the last photos I saw it was coming along very nicely. The water tower has been up for some time and the details on the buildings have started to go in.

I agree, that area always seems so congested.

I hope all the walls everywhere in AK are gone by my Sept/October trip!

Sorry but some of the things being worked on aren't scheduled to open for another year or more. There may not be as many walls but there's still going to quite a bit of them.

Aahhk! I was just searching Google for the same thing! Its funny how there seems to be no info coming out of DAK. I remember when New Fantasyland was being built, there was like a weekly update from the Disney Parks Blog. Now with all the stuff going on at DAK its like Disney's all "Consturction?! What construction? "

Its not that I'm in any kind of rush for them to finish up or anything. I just wanna know... cuz I'm nosy like that.

- Walls around Flame Tree BBQ should be removed by the last week of April, as construction is nearly complete.
- Wall around Island Mercantile is now down
- Wall around Disney Outfitters has no end date, as construction on a potential expansion continues across from Flame Tree
- Africa Expansion is still slated for Spring
- Walls near Everest will be up into next year.

I have a feeling that the Africa expansion will end up opening early summer

I know there will still be some up cause of avatar I was just hoping all the ones in the entrance will be down. It looks so claustrophobic.
