Walt Disney Imagineering Permit Authorizes Fire-Safety Work at Carousel of Progress

The filing follows Disney's 2025 plan for a new opening scene featuring a Walt Disney figure, with timing still unannounced.

Overview

  • A Notice of Commencement filed February 5 lists the scope as "Install FA/FP systems" at the Carousel of Progress building.
  • The permit names Grunau Fire Protection to handle fire alarm and fire protection work such as detectors, control panels, and suppression systems.
  • Walt Disney Imagineering filed the permit directly, a move outlets note often aligns with show-related changes rather than routine maintenance.
  • Disney previously announced an introductory scene led by a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics figure and showed concept art at Destination D23.
  • The permit does not provide a project timeline, and Disney has not announced a closure or debut date as the attraction continues normal operations.
