Disney Adds Scenic Contractor to Carousel of Progress Reimagining

The July 14 permit filing formally assigns scenic set work to a vendor and could influence the attraction’s planned 2027 reopening timeline.

Overview

  • A new Notice of Commencement filed July 14 names Mecca Productions, Inc. as a general-construction contractor for the Carousel of Progress, adding a sixth vendor to the project roster.
  • Mecca Productions is a scenic design and fabrication firm with recent Disney park credits, signaling that visible set and prop work is now formally assigned.
  • Five earlier June permits named Southeastern Construction, Lo-Temp Engineering, Elite AV Systems, Icarus Exhibits and ThemeWorks for structural, HVAC, electrical and set installation tasks.
  • The attraction closed after final performances in early July and construction walls were installed, and Disney has said the reimagining will replace every scene and add a Walt Disney Audio‑Animatronic preshow.
  • Permit language uses broad “general construction” descriptions, so the mix of vendors keeps the scope and schedule flexible and observers will watch further filings for signs the 2027 reopening target will hold.
