Major Disney refurb and construction completion dates worldwide

[ucfknight]

Late 2019 for the Skyline? 2 1/2 years is an inordinately long time to build a monocable aerial gondola on flat terrain.

Likely they would not want it to be ready prior to substantial completion of the new Riviera DVC tower and surrounding grounds. That would be a lot of heavy construction surrounding that station location.

What counts as "late" 2019?

I guess its looking super unlikely Star Wars will be open for my trip in August/September 2019.Oh well. We won't have seen Pandora and at least there's Toy Story land new too.

Late can be September and beyond.

Maybe we might get caught up in opening day madness then...Hmmmm not sure what I would rather happen haha!

Is the Rivera DVC the tower going in at Caribbean Beach?

Yes.

 

[piglet1979]

Yes.

Thank you. That does make sense. At first I thought it was a new resort.

It is considered a new resort but it is on the grounds of CBR.

Hey,

One project I've wondered about.... we take a towncar from airport to Boardwalk when we go and vice versa. Last two trips the roads have been ALL torn up right after you drive onto Disney property. Does anyone know the details on this road construction and what exactly they are doing? It clearly isn't just repaving. it looks like roads/bridges are being build and rerouted. And does anyone know when this will be done? if it isn't already lol I was last there in March.

There is the new MK fly over which will be roads to the resorts and other things in that area.

Then you have the new DHS entrance which is what you see by ESPN and AoA.

There is also some roadwork near Epcot.

All of these projects are multi-year projects.

Springs roadwork was pretty much done when I was there last.

True...but it did affect the gates on 536 and to a lesser extent - hotel plaza boulevard - for several years while it wraps up

Is Toy Story Land going to have a quick service restaurant?

Yes but don't expect something huge like Tomorrowland Terrace. This will be a smaller dining venue.

New HS entrance? Does this mean it won't be "across the street" from Boardwalk anymore?

The new parking lot entrance will be over by the intersection of AoA, and ESPN WWoS. The park entrance will remain the same.

Will be only one parking lot entrance instead of two?

 

[rteetz]

Will be only one parking lot entrance instead of two?

I believe so yes.

The current "back entrance" by the Boardwalk will likely be converted to buses only.
