The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District is seeking contractors for a 2027 project to replace road signs and sign structures throughout Walt Disney World.
The work includes two overhead sign trusses on EPCOT Center Drive, positioned between Buena Vista Drive and World Drive on the eastbound and westbound sides. Existing overhead and ground-mounted wayfinding signs, along with their foundations, are also slated for replacement across Disney property.
District documents list January 25, 2027, as the earliest possible start date. Wayfinding-sign replacement work is required to reach completion by September 30, 2027. The EPCOT Center Drive overhead structures are expected to reach substantial completion by September 22, with final completion estimated for October 22, though those dates may change.
Contractor responsibilities are expected to include traffic control and detours, erosion and sediment measures, removal of old structures, concrete drilled-shaft foundations, and installation of the new signs and supports.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Work is planned from 7 a.m. to 4 a.m. Monday through Friday, with overnight work or other hours requiring approval. Any work requiring an EPCOT Center Drive closure would be allowed only from two hours after the latest park closing time until 6 a.m.
Walt Disney World has been gradually replacing its older purple-and-red road signage with a blue design, while adding digital signs in some locations.
