Disney Files Construction Permit for Space Mountain Entrance

The permit marks the first legal step toward entrance-area improvements that could start soon without closing the ride.

Overview

  • Disney recorded a Notice of Commencement on August 11, 2025, for “General Construction” at 4950B N World Dr and named MLC Theming, Inc. as contractor.
  • The filing authorizes work through August 11, 2026, establishing a one-year window for entrance and exit enhancements.
  • The address on the permit corresponds exclusively to the Space Mountain entrance and exit building, not the main indoor coaster show structure.
  • MLC Theming’s expertise in scenic painting, facade fabrication and rock work has fueled speculation that the project may focus on new thematic treatments at the entry area.
  • Disney has not released design details, but guests can expect the coaster to remain open with construction activity confined to the entrance zone.
