Construction has resumed at the Disneyland Paris Resort. After being shuttered for several weeks due to the global pandemic, footage of construction progress is now available for Walt Disney Studios Park.
Captured and shared by Twitter user, @DLPReport, we see construction cranes operating from a safe distance.
DLP Report shares the short video saying “Construction has finally resumed today on the Walt Disney Studios Park expansion project, with the “Spider-Man Crane” swinging back into action.”

The expansion project at Walt Disney Studios Park is a major overhaul that looks to add a second Avengers Campus theme-land after the first one at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, a third Star Wars-themed area after the ones added to Disneyland Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios and a second Frozen-themed area after the first being added to Hong Kong Disneyland.
