Villains Land Site Work Advances at Magic Kingdom as Plans Grow

Fresh permits signal a larger footprint, with on-site tree relocations underscoring early construction.

Overview

  • Updated filings show the layout has changed since early 2026, including rerouted water systems, reworked utilities, and refined building outlines.
  • Plans now include at least two major show buildings, with one reportedly measuring about 70,000 square feet.
  • Crews remain focused on clearing land and installing infrastructure, and vertical construction has yet to become prominent.
  • Disney is relocating several decades-old oak trees for reuse, preparing their roots and supports for transplant rather than removing them.
  • Industry rumors point to possible attractions tied to The Emperor’s New Groove and Maleficent, though Disney has not confirmed any lineup details.
