Newly Cleared Land

[Truk777]

I've always tried to be good about posting Nearmap shots of projects and have never started a new thread before. So I apologize if this has been discussed. But in looking today, I noticed land that has begun being cleared to the east of the Magic Kingdom parking lot. I looked back at the last captured images and there was no clearing in this spot. Does anyone know what this is for?

OK, next question... and I apologize not knowing how to post a photo.

Looking on Google Earth, what are they building at the intersection of World and Epcot Center drives? There's a patch of cleared land there too.

What hotel is currently canceled?

The Epcot entrance area hotel. The last Martin mentioned was the hotel is sidelined/cancelled right now. Who knows what they'll do in the future.

Ah, right, for some reason I was translating FW as Fort Wilderness not Future World.

Is this the cleared land you see on the left side of the monorail as you leave Epcot heading to TTC?

That aligns with the patch I see on Google Earth.

8th. Disney Springs has a carousel and train.

They’ll also be renaming the whole property Walt Disney Multiverse, because a multiverse is bigger than a universe.

Ah, so a new drainage area. Not too exciting, but probably necessary.
