He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse.

I don't know why I call him Gerald.

Does he also ride a bicycle?

I thought they did a fine job with Copper Creek.

Unless you owned the original Wilderness Lodge Villa's ... Copper Creek destroyed any ambiance we used to enjoy ... now instead of looking at the woods, a lake and deer ... the view is a path so wide you can drive a semi on it, a pool with more angles than a protractor, and lighting poles you would find in your local supermarket parking lot. I don't agree at all.

I actually love the copper creek enhancements. The pool is great and the restaurant/ bar on the water is super convenient. My boulder ridge room view isn’t that much different than it was.

My wife and I love Copper Creek also. We also love the new pool with the cabanas and pool side waiters.

I miss the bubbles (and privacy, there is zilch for privacy both in the pool as well as on the BR cabin side now)

He can ride it if he likes.

He can ride it if he likes.

Hey, I want to ride my bicycle!

Where is your bicycle? (Wo ist ihr fahrrad?)

A new SFWMD permit was filed today to clean an area for temporary to stock pile earth as part of project 89. This is quite a big area so I would assume there will be a good bit of wetlands filled in for this project.

A revised SFWMD permit was filed today to change access to the stockpile area which is being used for this project. Originally access to this was going to be directly onto Vista Blvd, but now they are going to create an access road that connects to the STOLPort, shown below in red.

A South Florida Water Management District permit was filed today for "Phase 1" of this project. I am not exactly sure what we are looking at here, since this clearly isn't the hotel. I assume some sort of support building?

 

[LuvtheGoof]

Maybe HVAC system?

 

[Disneydad75]

Maybe expansion of the stables? Looks close to old Settlement stables area, and there looks to be an enclosed path to the right side

 

[Wngo905]

my HOPE is a gondolla from the shape of the building, the ballards coming out at two points and seeing an apparent walkway connecting it to Reflections (but I do understand there is no plans to expand it). The parking spaces is what is throwing me off.

Nice speculation, but I am thinking that is some sort of loading dock area.

My first thought was Fort Wilderness RR return. But gondolas make so much sense here.

Maybe both!

Looks like a possible relocation of the stables.

"Nature-inspired". Gondolas. Yeah, those fit together...

Happy new year!

A bit greener than diesel busses anyway.

I would not get your hopes up that this is a gondola station. There are five vehicle parking spaces at the end of the that building which really doesn't make sense if there were gondola existing there.
