I read on another site that there is speculation that Reflections will be at Fort Wilderness. I thought at first that they were building it at WL because of existing permits. I had posted that that permits at Wilderness are going to be for an exterior renovation lasting through this and next year. Looks very nice with the schematics they posted than a Holiday Inn hotel. The land was demolished in 2019 as the article states (it was originally called Project 89). As with Covid, many projects were put on hold or were completely let go. I believe this was announced at the latest D23., per the article.

This is the article that I had refrenced:

Have you seen the Holiday Inns in different countries and in Hawaii. IHG is the same family as Holiday Inn. Some of them can be pretty fancy! 3 blocks from the beach at less than 200 bucks a night. Can you really beat that in Hawaii?

not really 3 blocks..... I stayed at a hotel in the same block.....and where it is not too far from the beach, those would be some pretty huge blocks. The walk across the park is not bad.

Yes and no.

The speculation is about whether the Reflections Resort will restart, because “new” permits were filed recently.

There is no real speculation involved in where Reflections will be though, if it is built. The site is between FW and WL, with the prepped area for the main building near to the new stables at FW and clearly visible from Bay Lake.

That doesn’t mean that the resort will definitely be built. What it means is that it is back on the table and being re- considered. It’s also possible that they reconsider the design, that’s happened at least twice before, including whether it would be an all DVC resort, a mixture of DVC and regular resort etc. The recent permits are for the same locations as originally filed (with a couple of extra ones), but those could also be scrapped.

It wasn’t announced at this year’s D23, and the article doesn’t claim that either.

Yes

15 KV switch gear and transformers are not large. So it won't be for a large hotel building. Think single-family buildings/house like structures.

It sounds like they're taking an existing medium voltage primary circuit and expanding it. If I had to guess this would be for cabins/bungalows expanded further south/east from the existing cabins/bungalows at WL. Each transformer can handle 2-4 of these structures.

power for construction trailers?

I recall paying a lot more when I visited there a number of years ago.

Except the permits are for the same addresses (plus an extra one or two) as were originally filed for Reflections.

I think Project S is for the latest version of Reflections. Which may well be similar to the CCV cabins.

Could they possibly be for construction/project managers trailers?

The article was summarising the whole “saga” of Reflections from the 2017 announcement through to just before the recent D23.

Where it mentions WDWMagic, it is crediting this site with the story of the new permits. “h/t” is an abbreviation for “hat tip” - a way of giving credit where it’s due. It then links to the article that this site published about the recent permits:
