New Construction Permits Filed for Pirates of the Caribbean at Magic Kingdom

# What happened Two new construction permits related to Pirates of the Caribbean at Magic Kingdom appeared in public records. The filings list two adjacent addresses on Caribbean Way and identify the parties responsible for the work, but they do not describe specific construction activities or a schedule.

# Who filed the permits The permits were submitted by Walt Disney World's Sourcing & Procurement team. Buena Vista Construction Company, Disney's internal construction contractor, is named on both permits.

# What the permits cover

• Address 4873B Caribbean Way corresponds to the attraction's facade and queue area.
• Address 4875 Caribbean Way corresponds to the Pirates of the Caribbean show building.

Both filings describe a scope of work that includes providing labor, materials, and electrical work for construction. No additional technical details or drawings were included in the notices.

# What this does and does not mean The filings do not contain timing, duration, or detailed scope beyond general construction services. Disney has not announced a refurbishment or a temporary closure for Pirates of the Caribbean. That means:

• The permits may cover routine maintenance, targeted repairs, or after-hours work that would not require an extended ride shutdown.
• The permits could also be preparatory steps before a larger project, but the filings alone do not confirm that.

# How this affects guests

# What to watch next Look for additional public records filings, Notices of Commencement, or a Disney statement that provides:

• scope details (what systems or show elements will be worked on),
• schedule and expected closure windows if any, and
• whether work will be phased to keep the attraction open during daytime hours.

# Context Pirates of the Caribbean is one of Magic Kingdom's long-running, character-driven dark rides. Public-permit tracking has recently shown filing activity for multiple Magic Kingdom locations, making permit notices a useful early indicator of maintenance or refurbishment activity at the resort.

# Bottom line Two permits were filed for the Pirates attraction's facade/queue and show building, filed by Disney's procurement arm with Buena Vista Construction listed as contractor. The described work is general (labor, materials, electrical) and no guest-impacting details or closures have been announced. Monitor permit records and official Disney communications for concrete next steps.
