There’s always a ton of construction going on at Disney World — the resort is always expanding and changing, which was always part of Walt Disney’s original intent for Disney Parks.
Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.
In the past year, though, construction has kicked into full gear — from the massive ongoing EPCOT overhaul to the TRON ride construction in Magic Kingdom to all the work being done at the Fantasmic! theater, we only expect to see even construction in the future. And now, a new permit suggests that a shop at Disney World might be getting an upgrade.
A recently filed permit shows that Walt Disney Imagineering has contracted work for the address where Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. sits in Magic Kingdom. The work is described as “exterior facade modifications.”

This suggests that the outside of the shop could be getting a big overhaul soon. The permit expires on December 30th, 2023, meaning that the work should be done by that date. Since that is about two years from now, it could be a pretty big project!
Is the gear theme going away here?
In previous concept art released for TRON: Lightcycle Run, it looks like the outside of the shop is going to be themed to more closely match the design of the attraction.

The company listed on the permit for the work is The Whiting-Turning Contracting Co., which has done a lot of construction work at Disney World.
Those are all the details we have for now, but we’ll keep an eye on the Tomorrowland Power & Light Co. and let you know if it closes for refurbishment and if any work is being done there. So don’t go anywhere!
