Walt Disney World, a privately owned entity headquartered in the US, was founded in 1971, employs approximately 25,600 individuals, and operates under its parent company, Disney Experiences. The company operates as an entertainment provider, specifically an entertainment resort featuring four theme parks: the Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Its facilities also include more than 20 hotels, two water parks, and recreational amenities such as championship golf courses and a 200-acre sports complex.
Walt Disney World Resort confirmed the replacement of the very top of its Haunted Mansion attraction at Magic Kingdom Park on June 25, 2026, as part of an ongoing exterior refurbishment project that has involved scaffolding and a themed scrim covering the Liberty Square ride. Previously, on June 24, 2026, the resort announced the end of its 27-year-old holiday gingerbread house tradition, alongside other festive celebrations including Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights. Earlier the same day, Walt Disney World filed two construction permits for Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress in Tomorrowland, signaling upcoming changes and its impending closure for reimagining. On June 23, 2026, the resort issued a final update on the EPCOT World Showcase area, putting finishing touches on La Poutinerie, a new Quick-Service dining location in the Canada World Showcase Pavilion. This venue is scheduled to open on July 1, replacing the former Refreshment Port. This follows news from June 22, 2026, that Walt Disney World removed the final 1994 feature from Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom Park, marking the last structure of its kind to disappear from the park in recent months as part of a broader area overhaul.
