Disney Files New Permit for EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion

Overview

• Walt Disney Imagineering filed a Notice of Commencement on June 2 that matches the Mexico Pavilion address and cites provision of labor, materials and electrical work for construction.
• The permit names Buena Vista Construction Company, Disney’s in-house contractor, which reporters say commonly handles maintenance and phased projects rather than large new builds.
• The filing uses generic language and does not disclose design details, a timetable, or the full scope of work, so it does not confirm any major attraction changes.
• Visible work at the pavilion has been under way for months, including new themed pavement, exterior scaffolding and intermittent entrance changes, while restaurants, shops and the Gran Fiesta Tour remain open.
• Reporters use public permits like this to track unannounced park work, and outlets say further permits or a formal Disney statement would be needed to show any larger reimagining is planned.
