Overview
- Walt Disney Imagineering submitted a new permit in early December tied to 600 DinoLand Drive, pointing to work at the area that aligns with the current Dinosaur entrance courtyard.
- The document lists Whiting-Turner as contractor for “general construction” and carries a standard one-year term, indicating early-phase site activity.
- The address differs from a previous 594 DinoLand Drive permit for a new playground, suggesting a separate scope focused on the courtyard zone.
- The work tracks with Disney’s Tropical Americas transformation shown in official concept art and a scale model, including an Indiana Jones–themed experience.
- Disney has not announced an opening date for the new land, with industry coverage expecting completion in late 2027 or 2028 and recent updates noting the first vertical beam on site.
