New permits hint at updates coming to the entrance of Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom
Looks like Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom is getting a little TLC, or maybe a whole new welcome mat. A newly filed construction permit suggests that changes are on the horizon for the attraction’s entrance area, though Disney hasn’t officially announced any updates.

The permit, filed August 11, 2025, lists MLC Theming, Inc. as the contractor for “General Construction” at the address for the Space Mountain entrance and exit building—not the massive show building that houses the coaster itself. MLC Theming is no stranger to Disney projects, with a résumé that includes scenic painting, rock work, and themed facades. They’ve previously been linked to projects at The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure, The Haunted Mansion, and the Frontierland area.
While the filing doesn’t spell out exactly what’s being built, the work could range from a simple new sign to more elaborate theming upgrades. Given MLC’s specialty in immersive design, fans might dare to hope for something more visually striking to complement Tomorrowland’s retro-futuristic vibe.

The permit expires on August 11, 2026, giving Disney up to a year to complete the project. In the meantime, guests can still blast off on the classic indoor roller coaster—though they may notice construction activity near the entrance as work gets underway.
