Overview
- The Walt Disney Imagineering permit cites 600 DinoLand Drive, an area aligned with the courtyard in front of the current DINOSAUR entrance.
- Whiting-Turner is named as contractor for “general construction,” a scope commonly used for early site-prep, with a standard one-year expiration.
- The address differs from 594 DinoLand Drive tied to a separate playground and meet-and-greet project, indicating distinct parcels within the redevelopment.
- DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus remain scheduled to close on February 1, 2026, after which work enabled by this permit could begin.
- The activity forms part of the Tropical Americas expansion, which includes an Encanto ride and an Indiana Jones attraction, with outlets estimating a late 2027–2028 debut and noting a recent first vertical beam milestone.
