Walt Disney Imagineering filed an amended Notice of Commencement for general construction at 4975 C Caribbean Way, the former Aunt Polly's address on Tom Sawyer Island at Magic Kingdom.

Orange County recorded document 20260365424 at 9:07 a.m. on July 1. The amendment references prior notice 20250428868 and names Phillips and Jordan Inc. as contractor.

The public record gives the scope as "general construction." It does not identify a specific building, water feature, or detailed work package, and the form does not list a separate expiration date, so it uses the standard one-year term from recording.

What Disney Has Confirmed for Piston Peak

Disney has announced Piston Peak National Park for the Frontierland side of Magic Kingdom. The project replaces the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island area with a Cars-themed landscape and two attractions.

The former Aunt Polly's address sits inside that work zone, which makes the July 1 filing a public construction step for the broader Piston Peak project. The filing does not by itself confirm which part of the land will be built at that specific address.

Why the Aunt Polly's Address Matters

Aunt Polly's operated on Tom Sawyer Island, a spot most Magic Kingdom guests knew as a quiet stop rather than a headline restaurant. Its address appearing on a new Imagineering filing shows construction paperwork has moved into one of the existing island parcels.

For now, the confirmed piece is narrow: Walt Disney Imagineering filed an amended general-construction notice, tied to the former Aunt Polly's address, with Phillips and Jordan Inc. listed as contractor.
