Disney Extends Construction Walls at Magic Kingdom Ferry Dock

The new barriers mark the first visible guest-facing steps in a project to widen boarding areas and relieve crowding at the park entrance.

Overview

  • The green construction walls along the Seven Seas Lagoon were extended on Monday, July 27, and temporary fencing is routing guests around the ferry queue while the dock stays open.
  • Florida’s water management district approved Disney’s plan for a new ferry dock in March, and Disney filed the initial permits earlier this year.
  • Active work is currently concentrated on required floodplain compensation east of the walkways as part of the project’s environmental permitting.
  • Disney is assembling a fourth ferry, the Meg Gilbert Crofton, off-site and reports say it is targeted to join the Seven Seas Lagoon fleet in 2027, but the company has not announced a dock opening date.
  • Ferry and monorail service remain in operation during the work, though guests should expect altered circulation at the park entrance until the expanded dock and queue are completed.
