Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering filed nine Notices of Commencement for electrical work Thursday, naming Pro Audio Video Inc. across the future Tropical Americas land.
  • Two permits match the Encanto attraction at 504 and 610 DinoLand Drive, and another covers the former DINOSAUR building set to be reimagined as an Indiana Jones ride at 501 Restaurantosaurus Road.
  • Additional permits point to a wood‑carved animal carousel near the former Boneyard at 671 DinoLand Drive, a hacienda‑style quick‑service replacing Restaurantosaurus at 601 Restaurantosaurus Road, and work at the land’s entrance at 672 DinoLand Drive.
