Walt Disney World Resort has finished replacing pavement outside the Crystal Arts store on Main Street, U.S.A., at Magic Kingdom Park. The section, closed for several weeks, remains roped off while the new surface cures but should reopen to guests soon. Nearby stores continue normal operations.
About three weeks ago, stanchions and ropes appeared around a sidewalk section near the Crystal Arts store. Disney cast members soon poured fresh pavement there, though part of the walkway stayed covered by plywood until recently. Workers have now removed the plywood, revealing the new, pinker pavement that contrasts with surrounding areas. The site remains blocked by stanchions as the material sets, with full access expected shortly. WDW News Today shared a photo of the updated area on Facebook. The Crystal Arts store and other nearby merchandise locations have stayed open throughout the work. Walt Disney World Resort offered no public comment on the project, typical for such maintenance efforts. With summer nearing, the updates prepare the busy thoroughfare for heavier foot traffic. Elsewhere at Magic Kingdom, construction continues on a Piston Peak National Park area in Frontierland, inspired by the film Cars, and a new Disney Villains land beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
