A South Florida Water Management District permit was filed today for something called the "Fort Wilderness Resort Meadows Project". It will be removing some of the recreation area and replacing it with a building and retention pond. It is not clear what the building is

The style of the new building (when announced) will give us a very good idea of Ft. Wilderness' future. If it goes in the direction of the new cabins and re-designed stables, I think it's likely the entire current theme of the resort (and much of its charm) will be scrapped in favor of the bland, aimless and uninspiring Reflections motif.

Set elements? That suggests theming of some sort - or it does to me.

I hope they’re not changing CHH too much. 🤞

The contractor is InterAmerica Stage who does theatrical equipment, especially rigging systems. That street address is also shared by Peter Pan's Flight and Philharmagic but these have a letter after them, for example 1450 MAGIC KINGDOM DR # F. I am guessing this is actually for one of those and they just forgot the letter.

Thanks, much better - and much more likely too!

@danlb_2000 where is this? The expiration date makes me curious with 2 years.

And the other one was the Swiss Family Tree house.

2 years seems like a long time for restrooms, even at Disney's pace of construction.

As for the tree house one, the default expiration on a permit is 1 year so sometimes the person filling out the document just puts in the 1 year date instead of leaving it blank. That may be the case for this one since it is exactly one year from the filing date.

Sadly this is across the board with Disney. They are slowly removing much of the charm, theming, and classic Disney vibe, in favor of much more generic styles.

Any ideas as to what this could be? I'm surprised they've got a specific date on this permit.

Interesting, I didn't notice that expiration date. 11/28/2025 would suggest something major. I know this contractor has done a lot of work for Disney, but I will have to take a look at some part permits to see what kinds of things they have done.

New JII? D23 Announcement perchance??

That would make the most sense.

I scrolled through the contractor's website, and the last WDW thing they have photos of was the Pioneer Hall interior remodel at Fort Wilderness. That was only 4 months of work though.

November '25 is a long time to be remodeling the upstairs.

Their web site only shows a few projects, they have done a lot of other stuff for Disney. I need to take a look at my permit database to see what else they have done.
