Disney Greenlights Two New Imagineering Office Buildings Near Magic Kingdom as Expansion Plans Rev Up
Magic Kingdom is gearing up for its biggest glow-up in decades, and now we know exactly where some of that creative magic will be brewing. Disney just received official approval from the South Florida Water Management District for a major 12.5-acre expansion project at the old STOLport site off World Drive, paving the way for two brand-new Walt Disney Imagineering office buildings.

The project, charmingly codenamed “Project K,” transforms a slice of the former Walt Disney World Airport into a permanent creative hub for the teams shaping the future of the resort. The permit, filed in August and approved on November 24, gives Disney five years to complete everything from the new buildings to fresh sidewalks, parking, and utility infrastructure. Even the nearby ponds are getting a makeover as one is converted into a dry detention pond and the other into a wet detention pond to support the new development.

This is a big step forward for the Magic Kingdom expansion, especially with a Cars-themed area and the highly anticipated Disney Villains land both in the works behind the park. The STOLport location has long hosted temporary Imagineering trailers, but the new buildings signal a more permanent home base as Disney leans hard into the decade of expansion across the entire resort.
