Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering submitted a South Florida Water Management District permit labeled Project K for two new buildings at Stolport with drainage upgrades, parking additions, and retention pond modifications.
  • Reporting places Villains Land in Phase 2 with no public start date and suggests the opening window could slide into the early 2030s.
  • Disney’s active priorities include Piston Peak at Magic Kingdom, Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom, and a Monsters Inc. land at Hollywood Studios.
  • Frontierland construction walls and a drained Rivers of America indicate near-term focus on Piston Peak, which is not expected to open before 2028 according to the coverage.
  • Disney has not canceled Villains Land, though the prolonged lack of updates has fueled growing fan frustration.
