Overview
- Walt Disney World’s Facility Asset Management team filed seven Notices of Commencement on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2026, naming Buena Vista Construction Company and describing each entry as “General Construction.”
- The permits cover the pedestrian footbridge that crosses the Disney Springs lagoon plus Paddlefish, Raglan Road, UNIQLO, The LEGO Store, the Happy Hound kiosk, and The BOATHOUSE.
- Because the filings came from Facility Asset Management and were labeled general construction, reporters say the work likely points to maintenance or refurbishments rather than Imagineering-led re-theming.
- All seven permits expire on Sept. 21, 2027, and Disney has not released schedules or confirmed closures; a temporary closure of the footbridge for structural work is possible and would force guests onto longer walking routes.
- One outlet separately reported a permit for Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom but that claim remains unverified, and the Disney Springs notices fit an expected upkeep cycle about 11 years after the 2015 Disney Springs transformation.
