...I was hoping they’d file a permit to demolish all the bag checks...guess not.

Seems like they are going in the right direction though and making it more efficient.

Wow a permanent security structure. Offsite bag checks are here to stay. Nothing like a bag check line stringing out into the lobby of your flagship resorts!

Speaking of demolishing bag checks... when are these going to go away?

CM or Minnie Van or Sheriffs Office? I think it's odd that would be for CM parking.

I am assuming it is parking for whoever is manning the new bus coordinator booth.

A South Florida Water Management District permit was filed today to create what appears to be a security screening area on the path from the Contemporary. This project is being referred to as Guest Flow Phase 2.

I’m sure you have it somewhere, but what are the security and entry point expansion plans at the International Gateway at EPCOT?

I have not see any plans for that.

I thought they already did go away.

That’s not at all the case. There’s already a bag check there and its short lines are a significant perk of Contemporary. It is far more convenient than the monorail.

I thought they already did go away.

I believe the structures are still there, just sitting empty.

There is no bag check but the bag check booths are still there.

 

[peter11435]

They will have to fence along that like they did with the ferry drop? Maybe the side where GS is to enter past the current bag check?

There is already a security checkpoint in this location. This will be making it permanent

Yeah, I was confused about where the bag checks were this week. I deleted

 

[MisterPenguin]

Seems all the security stations are getting permanent structures. Wise thing to do.

For a moment, I thought this would mean removal of @articos ' light pole!

But there's no space to do this at the 3 monorail resort stations. That was my argument - kind of hangs out in the middle of the lobbies.

This is on the walkway from the Contemporary to Magic Kingdom, not in the resort. It's near the entrance of Magic Kingdom.

Along with better looking security checks, I wish they would add signage to help explain the process better. Each park has a slightly different version of the process and their is no signage explaining anything, just security cm’s telling each individual guest what to do.

One time at studios, I was told I had to go through the no bag line unless I had a bag. Is that an official policy? Who knows!

The permit also shows the addition of a bus coordinator booth across from the restrooms.
