Construction continues on Beast’s Castle in Magic Kingdom as scaffolding completely takes over the structure. On a recent visit to Fantasyland, we noticed that the construction scaffolding on Beast’s Castle is still up and work is still being done, as seen in the image below.

Back in June, we reported on a permit filed which was for “general construction” for the area that is home to Be Our Guest, Gaston’s Tavern, and the restrooms nearby. And in July, we reported on the construction work beginning on Beast’s Castle as scaffolding appeared next to the castle.

Earlier this week, Inside the Magic visited Magic Kingdom and as seen in the images above and below, it is clear that Imagineers are still working on this project as the scaffolding has yet to come down.

At this time, we do not know what Imagineers are doing to Beast’s Castle, but it could be relating to the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, which will begin on October 1, 2021.

This is just another construction project happening in Magic Kingdom as we have already seen the theme park spruce up other areas of the park, including the Tangled-themed restrooms, parts of Fantasyland including Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, and Casey Jr.’s Soak ‘n’ Splash.
