Overview
- Walt Disney Imagineering filed two permits Tuesday that hire Adirondack Scenic and Scenario to install set elements at 501 Restaurantosaurus Rd, the former DINOSAUR address, with one-year expiration dates.
- Set-installation filings typically surface 12 to 18 months before opening, which supports the Tropical Americas 2027 window.
- On-site work now shows a new clock tower rising and roof frames near the planned carousel, with foundations and retheming underway at Restaurantosaurus and other storefronts.
- The new land, called Pueblo Esperanza, will include a first-of-its-kind Encanto attraction and an original Indiana Jones adventure that reuses the DINOSAUR ride system with a Maya temple facade.
- Disney’s project update described research in Honduras and Colombia and the use of Copán stone carved by Maya artists to add authentic materials and details.
