Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Prepares for Construction
Walt Disney World has filed a new construction permit for its Animal Kingdom Lodge, signaling potential upcoming changes or enhancements to the popular resort. While the permit doesn’t specify the exact nature of the work, these filings are often the first public indicator of new projects, from minor renovations to significant expansions.

On August 11, 2025, a Notice of Commencement for “General construction” was filed for Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. The permit, which lists the address as 2901 Osceola Parkway, indicates that JCQ Services, Inc. has been contracted for the project. This company specializes in services such as carpentry and general demolition, suggesting the upcoming work could involve structural changes or significant interior alterations to the resort.
This newly filed construction permit is almost certainly connected to the previously announced, multi-phase refurbishment of Animal Kingdom Lodge. Disney has already confirmed a months-long room renovation project for both Kidani Village and Jambo House, with the work scheduled to begin this October at Kidani Village and then move to Jambo House in May 2026. Additionally, the Zebra Trail terrace at Jambo House is currently undergoing its own refurbishment, a project that is expected to be completed by mid-September.
Like other construction permits filed by Disney, this notice has an expiration date of one year, set for August 11, 2026, which aligns with the timeline for the extensive renovations planned for the resort.
