Overview
- Disney filed a Notice of Commencement for “general construction” at the Humunga Kowabunga site, listing Proslide Technology as contractor.
- The permit was submitted by Walt Disney World’s Facility Asset Management rather than Imagineering, a marker of maintenance-focused work.
- Outlets report the filing suggests a rebuild to current standards rather than a full redesign, which would likely exceed the scheduled downtime.
- Typhoon Lagoon is slated to close February 15 and reopen by May 26, with the Humunga Kowabunga work expected within that window.
- A 2023 lawsuit over a 2019 incident on the slide was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice this month, and Disney has not issued a public statement.
