WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen visited the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney over the last few days, so let’s take a look at everything happening around Walt Disney World right now:
Nikon photo spot now in place near the Rose Garden
Some more planter work happening near the hub… rumors suggest this may all be related to a new nighttime show for the park…
See ya’ later trash can…
The facade at the Enchanted Tiki Room is getting some work done
The Nikon picture spot at Splash Mountain isn’t quite picturesque yet…
The Splash Mountain refurbishment continues
Tarps up on the buildings in Liberty Square and the castle crane looming behind it
The Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin FastPass machines are being removed
Plenty of Valentine’s Day treats are available at Big Top Treats
Moving over to Disney’s Polynesian Resort, DVC wing construction is in full swing
I love these signs…
Gates up on the beach
The work out in the water on the rumored bungalows
Over at Epcot, the former Kim Possible kiosk area is now a MyMagic+ service center
Prep work for the Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing now
Another Nikon picture spot
The Darkroom at Hollywood Studios is still presented by Kodak
Yet there is a Nikon Picture Spot not too far away
The Monsters University meet and greet is becoming the Monsters Inc. meet and greet again

A decent size line for FastPass+
AVATAR construction is happening folks…
Some work happening outside of Expedition Everest
A look at the new Festival of the Lion King theater from high up on Everest
Looks like there is a lot of work to still be done
On to Downtown Disney… Disney Springs… whatever it is…
Not much visible progress to the West Side Starbucks
Not much to see on Pleasure Island either
But there is something happening behind these walls
Here is the site for the large water-side building in The Landing
Bridge work in the Marketplace is happening quickly
The stage area near Fulton’s has been behind walls for a few weeks now
The staging area for the bridge is across from T-Rex behind the DVC booth
The Marketplace Starbucks is also coming along slowly
Guests watching construction take place
Cinderella outside of World of Disney received a backdrop on the construction walls for the Starbucks
Some strange new men’s shirts on sale
Team Mickey is now closed to become the Marketplace Co-Op
New Star Wars MagicBandits have arrived
There is also an R2-D2 MagicSlider!
We saw those same shirts in Disneyland at the World of Disney there. Of course they said "Disneyland Resort" on them instead of WDW resort. They did not seem to be selling nor did I see anyone wearing one around the parks.
Thee isn't anything about Disneyland anymore on this website. Why is that? If you need photographers and people I volunteer!
