- The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure remains open to guests, and crews have laid new concrete in front of the theater as surrounding demolition continues.
- In the Monsters, Inc.–themed Monstropolis, PizzeRizzo signage has been taken down and a massive show-building footprint is emerging for Disney World’s first suspended coaster, which has no announced opening date.
