Summer is in full swing in Disney World, and that means summer crowds have arrived in the parks, too!

With so much to see and do — from brand new attractions and restaurants to exciting new shows premiering — you might be thinking about planning a trip to the parks as well. Disney World is constantly changing, and it’s important to stay updated on everything going on so you can be prepared for your visit. We’ve rounded up the biggest Disney World construction updates from this week so you can know before you go. 

Magic Kingdom

TRON: Lightcycle Run

Slowly but surely, we’re seeing more and more progress being made over at the TRON coaster. Large trucks and equipment have moved in, so we should be in for some more work soon!

TRON construction

For now, the canopy structure appears to be complete and we’ve even caught ride vehicle testing, but Disney still hasn’t shared an opening timeline for this attraction.

Walt Disney World Railroad

The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for quite a while due to the construction on TRON, but we’re finally seeing some progress being made in the form of new tracks!

Fresh tracks near Fantasyland Station

We’ve spotted them over at the Fantasyland Station and other areas near TRON as well!

Center Street

Over on Main Street, U.S.A., the seating area near Crystal Arts has been walled off for a bit of refurbishment.

Still closed.

Disney hasn’t shared word on what’s going on here, but we’ll keep an eye out for updates.
