A new permit has been filed for the upcoming PLAY! pavilion, part of the all new World Discovery area of EPCOT.
The contractor on the permit is Balfour Beatty Construction, a company that works on many of Disney's large projects. The permit description is vague - "Added information and detail for set areas."
It isn't clear when the permit was originally applied for, and the Notice of Commencement carries an expiration date of December 31 2021. We understand that the majority of Walt Disney Imagineering have been furloughed, and construction has been halted at the parks.
Originally planned to open for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, guests will discover an interactive city bursting with games, activities and experiences that connect them with friends, family and Disney characters – both real and virtual – like never before. As part of this new pavilion, guests will have the chance to help legendary fashion icon Edna Mode on her quest to rid the world of uninspired style, or make a splash competing in a water-balloon fight hosted by Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby.
