Liberty Square Market in Magic Kingdom closed for refurbishment in early January.
Liberty Square Market Closed
The quick-service location had walls up starting January 11th, and it’s expected to reopen in February. And in Magic Kingdom today, we spotted something promising!
We have been soaking in all of the NEW things that have recently opened in Disney World, like the beautiful new EPCOT entrance fountain and the delicious Gideon’s Bakehouse. But, there’s still quite a few projects that have been delayed following the temporary closure of the theme parks.
EPCOT
We are no stranger to construction walls and an “in-progress” status when it comes to projects around Disney World. Though, we’re starting to wonder what’s happening with some highly anticipated restaurants that were seemingly announced eons ago.

Disney World is totally revamping EPCOT with new attractions, nighttime shows, and even a new look!
Spaceship Earth
EPCOT is a literal maze of construction walls and gutted buildings at the moment. The theme park is undergoing a MASSIVE overhaul that will totally transform the theme park. Guests will be able to experience all sorts of new adventures when it’s all said done. So, let’s take a photo tour so you can see exactly what the construction progress is and what construction looks like on ALL the BIG EPCOT projects.
Disney World will often close attractions, restaurants, or resorts for refurbishments. Some closures are scheduled in advance while others are unexpected and due to maintenance issues or other reasons.

Currently Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat are listed on the refurb calendar through Feb. 28. And today, we did see active construction on the island while we were at Magic Kingdom!

We’ve been tracking the progress on the new M&M’s Store at Disney Springs. We can’t wait to get our hands on all the chocolate! While we anxiously await an opening date, we saw more progress on construction as we passed by today!
Not every Disney World attraction is open 365 days a year! Some are scheduled to close for touch-ups or large construction projects.

Some refurbishments are scheduled months in advance and others are in need of maintenance. It’s good practice to know what Disney World rides and shows are closed so you can plan ahead! Knowing beforehand allows you to create an itinerary based on what’s closed and what’s open in the theme parks! Let’s take a look at next week’s refurbishment schedule between January 18th through January 24th, 2021.
