My original guess last fall was for the SW hotel will be in this location adjacent to GE. Has this been ruled out?

That's a lot of potential expansion space in the future, should they decide to relocate the road of course ... I'm glad it's not going to be the hotel (I believe it won't be, as said above, cast member parking?)

The entrance road is being relocated. You can see the approximate location in the bottom right of the first post of this thread (and in a lot of other places): https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/dhs-parking-lot-remodel-and-expansion.923572/

Thank you! I forgot about it being relocated. Lots of projects going on! lol

Doesn’t seem like you would be able to see this from the land. Too bad.

I've proven to myself beyond a shadow of a doubt that I can't properly search the permit site. Can someone please post a direct link to the images?

So the hotel is either going to be a tower with guests using DHS for parking or this site blogmickey is talking about is simply too small for anything of substance.

I highly doubt the hotel is going to have a high amount of rooms considering the price point we're looking at so the area blog mickey pointed out is perfectly fine. No tower needed i'd think.

Based on just what is in the permits they could potentially use all this space, which is 23 acres. That would be enough for 6 Pop-Century building with room to spare. I would not expect this hotel to have a huge room count so it appears there would be plenty of room. They could also use the far end of the DHS parking lot as the lot of the hotel. We also don't know for sure the hotel will be limited to this space. The permit is only about stockpiling dirt, it isn't the actual permit for the hotel yet, so it could expand into the area to the east.

I'm just going to say for fun that it is Project H(arvest) as in Blue Harvest as in Return of the Jedi. It may be wrong but sounds cool.

At the WDI pavilion for the 2013 D23 Expo, they had 'mysterious' crates labeled Orange Harvest that were very clearly supposed to be teasers for upcoming Star Wars projects. They didn't give away any meaningful information at the event, and the actual plans changed several times before construction began, but you may be onto something!

And aren't Disneyland and WDW in Orange County?

In regards to parking, I feel like there should be plenty of room there for an appropriate amount of parking for a smallish hotel without having to use the DHS parking lots. Wouldn't be surprised to see the parking on the south or west side of the hotel away from the greater DHS lots.

And double-charge for the parking fee because they will name the sections after favorite Star Wars characters.

You know, reading that...makes me realize just how much potential there really is Rancor food? I hadn't even thought of Rancors yet...how awesome would that animatronic be? Star Wars Land doesn't just need its own park, it needs its own damn resort.

Technically true but if the goal is an immersive experience, they will need to separate the hotel from the parking and have transport between the two in the form of a rail/tube transport of some kind that simulates transport to and from the planet surface.
