Walt Disney World Resort recently carved scoring marks into another square of pavement directly next to the roped-off walkway, indicating that it will be torn up and replaced.What Disney World Guests Need to KnowWalt Disney World Resort rarely comments publicly on infrastructure maintenance projects like this one, and this situation is no exception. It’s unclear whether Disney will continue to replace sections of pavement along Sunset Boulevard to match the fresh pavement now visible on the major thoroughfare at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Typically, Disney refurbishes walkways in phases at the same time to reduce the impact on guests and ensure a seamless look.Credit: Jeremy Thompson, FlickrAttractions on Sunset Boulevard, such as the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage, continue to operate normally. Guests can also visit merchandise and dining locations along the walkway, including Once Upon A Time, though they may have to navigate around roped-off sections of pavement.Have you noticed any other construction around Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park?
