CHANGES Could Be Coming To These 6 Disney World Hotels

When we’re visiting Disney World, it’s hard to beat staying at a Disney resort. It’s so convenient with complimentary transportation, early theme park entry, and great food that rivals the parks!

Disney just filed new Notice of Commencement permits to install signs at six popular Disney World resorts. While these signs are usually quick, overnight projects, it’s always important to make sure you’re aware during your stay!

The first permit Disney filed is for Wilderness Lodge at 901 Timberline Drive. This permit is to install signage, and it’s likely related to the exterior refurbishment around the resort.

The next signage permit is for sister resort Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, at 4354 Big Pine Road. This is the address of the Disney Vacation Club cabins, but Disney hasn’t announced any construction work on them as of August 14th.

Another permit to install signage was filed at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The new signage could be for the new Floridian Way traffic pattern or the bus stop that opened last month.

A new sign will hit another monorail resort at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. The permit is for 3471 Grand Floridian Way, which is the Boca Chica building. This resort building is nowhere near the Floridian Way entrance, so this is likely for a quick sign replacement.

Hopping over to EPCOT-area resorts, a signage permit was also filed for the Riviera Resort. Since no major refurbs are happening soon, it’s likely to replace an old sign.

And last but not least, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa will get a new sign in the Paddock section at 1932 Union Avenue. This includes The Paddock Pool, The Paddock Grill, and its surrounding guest room buildings.

Disney has contracted Kentavo, a specialty contractor and sign subcontractor based in Kissimmee, Florida, to install all of these signs. It’s a frequent partner of Disney’s who has recently been hired for signage at Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! and the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
