Construction Completed on First Structure at Moana-Themed Journey of Water Site in EPCOT

Fountains/Water features they can go fast and furious on!

Any news/update on the Poly Monorail station?

I would expect it sometime around the resort reopening in late July. Not based on anything, but it seems logical.

I keep saying similar. The speed of the work on this is nothing short of incredible.

Does anyone have an idea when the railroad might reopen? I did a quick google search, but you guys are far more expert than what I was finding ("2021"). I miss the train!

Yea they did say it'll be staying for a while but they also said we would have masks up to 2022 and look how that went. I highly doubt park reservations are going to be gone anytime soon but at this point nothing will surprise me.

They did add the caveat that vaccinations could very likely change the mask timelines though (which it did), so there was that.

It probably won't open until Tron construction is completed.

Definitely feels like it with how they got uncovered and tested out last week! Hopefully it’s right!

I personally haven’t missed FP+ during my trips during the capacity limitations but it will be good to have back!

I’d really love to know what to expect with FP so we can plan our fall trip better.

hope it’s this week (please please please)

Seconded. I think the 2021 date is referencing when TRON was SUPPOSED to open for the 50th. I would be shocked if the RR is coming back before that's done.

Yeah unless they operate 3/4 of the track when they reopen it’s going to be a while since they have to tunnel beneath TRON.

Yeah, the construction delays on Tron really hurt on this. It's a shame since the railroad is of such historical significance to WDW and Disney himself, and is looking like it will likely not be running in time for the 50th.

I just am anxious about how FP+ will be rolled out, my trip is end of July going into August and it would really suck to have to deal with a change mid trip

Wow, I did not closely follow the Tron/Railroad/Speedway construction and didn't realize the extent of the changes for the railroad.

Here's some pictures I dug up for others trying to grasp all the visual changes:

Bummed about this, was hoping not to walk into a construction zone!

Be sure to close your eyes as you go into EPCOT too!

Damn, that stinks. Hopefully it won't be long after.

I guess they have some big event in the coming future to prepare for

Once I have a Lapu Lapu in my hand I will have a harder time being bummed
