My gut says that it's probably for PI and GF work as you point out in your update. Also, what about the supposed DVC at Ft. Wilderness?
Aren't they supposed to be redesigning the parking entrance/road into DHS soon as well?
My heart definitely hopes for much more though.
It seems kind of far to be for projects in AK, DHS, or Epcot, so maybe the Frontierland rumor isn't as Blue Sky as we all think? But then again it could be to allow for a centrally located main office for the projects that are going on (or will soon be going on) across the property. So perhaps the other parks aren't completely ruled out.

Very interesting. I feel like all the signals have been pointing to huge announcements at the d23. Will they be as big as most of us would like? Who knows, but hopefully. The fact that Iger was in town when he was just in town a month or so prior for the opening of star tours definitely makes me wonder if something huge is in the works. This combined with Universals success the past year and 2 months really is starting to make me think HUGE things are in the making. Let's face it FLE is not the Potter Swatter, but something else would be like South America or a new country at epcot with a e-ticket or a pixar place place expansion. I don't hold my hopes too high and I am happy with the FLE, but I would love to hear a bombshell at the D23.

I seem to remember someone on here saying that one of the projects we have heard about for the studios couldn't be built easily because there were WDI offices in the way. I think it was the Monster's Inc. coaster, but it may have been something else...or, it could be my Jungle Cruise moment...:ROFLOL:

Intriguing, though it will probably amount to nothing.

Those trailers seem too small to accomodate anything other than a small project like DVC. There's no way there'd be enough space in there to house all of the Imagineers that would be needed for a large project.
They are bigger than the Fantasyland project offices. So they could certainly be used for a very large project.

Those trailers look very plush, when compared to contractor trailers around my neck of the woods. Landscaping, nice paved parking, covered walkways.
No they are infact brand new. Have a look at my article, and you'll see the buildings on the left hand side that have been there for years, and these new buildings have been installed in the last few weeks. You can even see people in the photos working on the area getting it ready.
I have attached a Google Maps view. The black circle shows the old offices that were built for FLE a few years back, and the red area shows the location of the new offices that I have shown photos of in todays update.

Sheesh, I would love to call those little buildings my place of employment.

Do you know of a project that's larger than FLE that is far enough to warrant trailers?
Could be more than one project around WDW......

It could be a lot of things. But based on what he said, I was trying to get a confirmation on if he knew what this was.
