food IS a theme park
Big things are happening at one of Disney World’s Deluxe resorts!
The Former Jellyrolls
After what felt like an eternity of sitting vacant, construction and related permits indicate big changes are finally coming to some long-abandoned spaces at Disney’s BoardWalk.
Recently, Disney has announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more. But what about those projects that Disney hasn’t exactly announced yet?
EPCOT
Keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney World files can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels, and we recently spotted one for a popular EPCOT pavilion!
If there’s one thing I know, it’s that when Pueblo Esperanza opens in Animal Kingdom, I will be sitting there in my Encanto ears wearing an Indiana Jones t-shirt, waiting to experience the land myself. While I loved DinoLand U.S.A. as if it were part of the family, something newer is on the horizon.
The new Tropical Americas land coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom lets guests explore a preserved Maya temple – and the ensuing adventure – alongside Indiana Jones.
DINOSAUR is being rethemed to Indiana Jones, using the same ride mechanism but with new scenes (and even different scenes than the Disneyland version), and Disney just filed new permits for the attraction as they get closer to changing over the ride and opening the Tropical Americas land!

Keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney World files can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels, and this latest one has us pretty darn excited, especially since the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is coming up!
We knew this was going to be big, but we can’t believe the number of permits Disney Imagineering just filed for this project coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
There are so many cool things coming to Disney World between Magic Kingdom’s Piston Peak and Villains Land, Hollywood Studios’ Monstropolis, and Animal Kingdom’s Tropical Americas. Disney has been making progress on all of them, but the progress on Tropical Americas has been most impressive, and it continues to show after Disney just filed nine…yes, NINE permits!

The Universal Orlando Resort had a HUGE 2025, with the openings of the Epic Universe theme park and its three hotels: Stella Nova, Terra Luna, and the Helios Grand. One might think that, between those additions and Universal opening a new kids-oriented resort in Texas and a new major attraction in Hollywood in 2026, the Florida resort might be taking a back seat this year. They’d be wrong.
Universal Orlando
Less than a year after Epic Universe’s opening, the Orlando Resort is already staging an encore, with a massive project at Universal Studios Florida, construction at Islands of Adventure, and even something NEW coming to Epic!
Uh, hey Disney? Have you been meaning to update us on something?
Art of Animation
We stay up to date on everything happening at Disney World, and one way we do that is by checking permits filed by Disney. Well, we just found a bunch of permits all dedicated to one of our favorite, larger than life resorts: Disney’s Art of Animation Resort!
