It's a big pond to compensate for building work elsewhere.

The permit clearly says it's for a storm water retention pond.
Will it be deep enough to reach the ocean like the World Showcase Lagoon?

I hope this hotel is somehow connected thematically with Epcot. A tower that looks like Progress City, maybe? One can dream.

How about a resort that looks like this:

Didn't a similar company do the same work for a water retention pond for the World Drive ramps at the MK?
"Geotechnical and Environmental Consultants, Inc. (GEC) is pleased to provide this 60% Report of Roadway Soil Survey for the above-referenced project. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate soil and groundwater conditions along the project alignment and at associated stormwater pond sites and to use the information obtained to develop geotechnical engineering recommendations to guide design and construction of the proposed improvements.
This report describes our exploration procedures, exhibits the data obtained and presents our conclusions and recommendations regarding the geotechnical engineering aspects of this project. The information in this report is subject to change as project plans develop."
Seems similar.

Do you think it will have it's own monorail station on the Epcot line? That would seem like a good idea if it's going to be a deluxe resort.
I doubt it.

Boo! Hiss!
Epcots monorail station will probably be within walking distance.

I'd imagine anything built in this area will be more fitting for the area as a whole and not a misplaced IP.Ah, fair enough.
(A clone of DLP's Marvel hotel next to Guardians then?)
Especially if it were to become the parks entrance.

Ka-boom!
Hmm...in principle, a hotel has always been the center of EPCOT...
But my main experience, my point of reference, is DLP, where the hotel is really built too close to the entrance of the park. I also fear for SSE, for the view of SSE from within the park, the single most important sight of the park. SSE should stand alone against the sky, like a celestial body.

I find it rather drilling myself.
It chills me to the core.
Something to remember kids.

So it would be near the bus station, as well? I think that's a huge benefit. Dinner at Jiko? Hop right on the AKL bus. Drinks at Trader Sam's? Monorail to the TTC and walk to the Polynesian.
Is this the best thing for Epcot's entrance? Obviously not. But I could see this being a very popular resort.
