Overview
- Scaffolding went up across a broad section of the Canada Pavilion rock facade on Tuesday, covering areas well beyond the pavilion’s signature waterfall.
- Park crews have turned the waterfall off, revealing gray, water‑worn stone that observers say points to repainting and surface restoration rather than a simple mechanical repair.
- Canada Far & Wide remains open to guests through alternate entry points while frosted glass and barriers block views of the work from the theater lobby.
- On‑site reporters and anonymous maintenance sources say the project may be technically complex because live plantings and root systems are embedded in the themed rockwork, a factor that can slow restoration.
- The work fits Disney’s pattern of phased, localized World Showcase refurbishments designed to limit guest disruption, and Walt Disney World has not released a detailed public scope or completion timeline.
