2. Phase 2 of the Magic Kingdom Central Plaza expansion has started

With the south side of the Central Plaza now open with new Fastpass+ fireworks viewing areas, work has begun on the northern half of the Central Plaza.

The north planters around the Partners Statue are now complete. Work will soon begin on the new south planters in the center of the hub.

For anyone wondering why Disney is doing all of this work. Here is the new Central Plaza walkways during the Festival of Fantasy Parade in peak season.

It is much more enjoyable and easier to navigate around the crowds.
