I am a frequent lurker and rare poster. I have read all the rumors and remember a page with drawings etc. of the River Country site but I cannot find the thread so I am posting new. Please do not blast: I am only reporting what I heard and saw.
Last week I did a fishing cruise on Bay lake. It was frigid cold and we didn't catch many fish, but the guide was a nice guy who has been working at Disney for almost 20 years.
On the way back he took us past Discovery Island and the River Country site. I noticed there were a number of stakes driven into the water in a semi-circular pattern (very similar to the drawings of a building I had seen on this site). When I asked him what they were, he said there had been some folks out putting those stakes in the water a few weeks ago. He had a chance to talk to the people and they said there were plans to put a new resort in the area and they were doing a site survey. Apparently the resort would include an "over-water building" of some type.
He also said he parks in the River Country lot and has been informed that his parking arrangements "will be changing within 6 months".
There was a lot more but most of it was speculation. The stakes in the water were brightly colored and obviously not extremely old: they had streamer paper on them which wasn't badly discolored.
I know the old adage about listening to cast members, but unless this guy put the stakes with streamers in the water himself, in the same general area as the prints I had seen on this site, well....I will let you be the judge. I for one now believe there is something going on at or near the RC site. Wish I had taken a pic but it was just too cold and it was a brief moment.
