This is the weekly news, rumors and refurbishments update for Walt Disney World for the week of March 22, 2015.
Here are the two biggest updates from around the resort for the past seven days.
1. New elements of Disney Springs opening this summer
We’ll start our journey at the Disney Springs parking lot.
More decorative paneling is being added to the parking structure.
A new pedestrian bridge has been installed across the roadway to the Team Disney building. This will greatly reduce the time cars have to wait at the stop light as that is a very popular crosswalk with Cast Members. The new bridge should open sometime this summer.
The Boathouse Restaurant looks completed and is set to open in just a few weeks.
This yet-to-be-named aviation themed restaurant is also progressing quickly.
The new Marketplace Bridge is now complete. Although it took forever, it is very convenient and nicely themed.
2. Several attractions have short refurbishments in April
The Jungle Cruise will be going under refurbishment from April 13 to May 8, 2015.
It’s a small world is closing for a short refurbishment from April 14 to April 17, 2015.
