- Walt Disney World had not issued an official explanation for the activity, which local outlets describe as paint or surface touch-ups rather than structural construction.
- The timing tracks with a new Smugglers Run mission arriving May 22 that features Hondo Ohnaka and teams guests with the Mandalorian and Grogu.
