- Disney characterizes the project as a standard exterior refresh, with reporting describing paint and trim work, stone stabilization, and minor roofing maintenance.
- The attraction continues operating throughout the work, and Disney has not provided a completion date for the exterior project.
- Reports refute social media rumors about changes inside the Stretching Room, noting no plans to remove the hanging figure or replace the hand‑painted portraits with digital screens.
