Even if Disney ramped things back up tomorrow, there will still be a slowdown in the pace of large-scale openings in the parks due to the amount of time required to move these projects from greenlight to completion.īut pixie dust is still alive, and there are still a few pre-pandemic projects up Mickey's sleeve. This is due to the implementation of a pandemic pause for new projects, plus the cancellation or scaling back of some already in motion.īecause of this shift, there will inevitably be a few years without as many new rides, restaurants and other major additions as we've grown accustomed to.
