Overview
- A Notice of Commencement filed on February 5 lists work to install fire alarm and fire protection systems at the Carousel of Progress address in Tomorrowland.
- The permit was submitted by Walt Disney Imagineering and names Grunau Fire Protection as the contractor for the FA/FP installation.
- WDI’s direct filing, rather than through the usual facilities contractor, is being interpreted as show-related work rather than routine maintenance.
- Disney previously announced at Destination D23 that the attraction will add a new opening scene with an Audio‑Animatronic Walt Disney, with potential updates to the family characters also indicated.
- The attraction remains open and Disney has not announced closure dates or a project timeline, and any technical details or schedules cited by outlets remain unconfirmed.
