Here's your ride:

Water directed to inlet, inlet goes to the canal, canal goes to the water management system, and the Utilidors are hopefully saved.

You knew I was talking abut a major flooding event, right?

Now about the new pond to the south:
View attachment 848095
There is no conduit or inlet to the new retention ponds down there, and there is no other nearby pond, as @lazyboy97o pointed out. The new pond must be implied.

Orange County's hydrology reports suggest the waters south of this comment will be a new pond, but we will have to see if this changes.

The exhibit you linked to doesn’t include sheet C-108 which should show the area east of the park and provide better context for sheets C-201 and C-202. These two sheets are enlarged plans for a large new pond, the Regional Stormwater Facility, along the south side of Maple Rd. Sheet C-206 also shows a smaller pond being added to the east side of the park access canal.

A new pond in the park would have to be shown in the permit drawings in detail, with the contours of the pond and the water levels.

What people? At an appreciable percentage, not that i have ever seen, and apparently not according to the data WDW has.

As for RoA, what are you talking about? No one uses RoA, its not like there are paddle boats or canoes to ride on it. People aren't using it like a lazy river. There isn't walking paths along the river, or restaurants along its shores.

There is a walking path along the river...

Those are the retention ponds I mentioned.

How are you going to direct surface water to them?

Edit: 'ponds' was missing an 's.'

Local. I pay about the equivalent of one night at the grand Floridan for my pass for the year. I go to MK a couple times a year. It's such a pain to get to and has far too many tourists. Spend way more time in the other three, which I love.

Going to flower and garden after work for dinner is wonderful.

So, wonderfully tolerable, other than those pesky “tourists”…?!?!?! 🤔
You do realize your WDW fun wouldn’t even exist without us pesky “tourists” money, correct…?!?!?! :cyclops:

No, that's the inlet to the north I mentioned:



The "new pond" comment is in the south, meaning a different route.

An inlet isn’t a destination. It is still ultimately connecting to the Regional Stormwater Facility that is replacing the lost capacity of the Rivers of America.

It looks like an errant note that is still technically correct but doesn’t align with all of the other notes on that sheet and other sheets. Few bother to set up AutoCAD to use linked and synchronized notes. There is nothing in the actual drawings showing a pond in the Rivers of America area.

That said, Disney could file a revision to their permit application. There have been cases where, due to the way the process works, the parks (Disney, Universal and SeaWorld) have submitted permit documents that are already out of date and not the current design direction at the time of the submission. It’s a messy process that requires extra diligence to manage and it’s definitely possible that an errant note ended up on the wrong drawing. That’s several levels of “ifs” that are not currently supported by other available information.
