Disney World Files Construction Permit for Wilderness Lodge Resort

New Construction Permit Filed for Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort

Disney has filed a new construction permit for its Wilderness Lodge Resort at Walt Disney World, hinting at possible upcoming changes for this beloved destination. The permit, assigned to Adena Corporation, a trusted Disney partner, is notable for its extended validity period, lasting until December 25, 2026.

Adena Corporation has been involved in numerous major projects at Walt Disney World, including EPCOT’s World Celebration, TRON Lightcycle Run, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Their involvement suggests that the upcoming construction at Wilderness Lodge may be significant.

While the permit is vaguely described as “General Construction,” the extended timeframe and the high-profile contractor point toward a substantial update to the resort. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge last underwent a major renovation back in 2021. During that renovation, the rooms were updated with modern nature themes while maintaining the resort’s Pacific Northwest aesthetic. Upgrades included new hardwood flooring, modernized furniture, blackout curtains, redesigned headboards and accent walls featuring subtle Disney references like Bambi and Chip & Dale, and enhanced bathrooms with dual showerheads and wood tile accents.
