LOL! So what is that big pile of dirt then?
Pre-berm. It was dug out of the other side of the highways where they're creating a big ol' lake. Got big dirt conveyor belts going over the highway and it piles up. It does help compact the dirt where the parking lot will be, since it was once was a marsh land. Then it gets trucked over to fill up the berms. They also spread it to elevate where the parking lot will be so it doesn't become five inches of water when it rains.

What's the name for a pond/lake that is created when you dredge up the soil to raise the ground level for construction (for example Seven Seas Lagoon/Magic Kingdom)? I know that's why every major residential or commercial development in Central Florida has a water feature over and above the natural lakes. I can never remember what the name is for this.
Retaining pond? Or lake

A retention pond is designed to hold a specific amount of water indefinitely.
A detention pond is a low lying area that is designed to temporarily hold a set amount of water while slowly draining to another location. They are more or less around for flood control when large amounts of rain could cause flash flooding.
Don't want to make this about DHS's land, but since the question of the Big Dirt Pile came up, here is a recent video that shows it clearer and at 1:11 you can see the creation of the retention pond/lake.

Any possibility that he have hotel will be built on the side of galaxy edge next to muppets?
This en structures that look like will Ben part of Ann indoor queue oils in theory be built up a few floors for a boutique hotel. The side facing galaxy edge themed by with rockwork or another alien facade and side facing muppet courtyard themed to the rest of the the fakes facades.
Supposedly the hotel will not have windows so it wouldn’t matter how the structure looked. They just have to theme side facing the entry and check in to match the Star Wars port.

I thought it was the only good one out of episodes 1-3. Seeing Anakin as a rebellious teen was pretty entertaining. It was certainly an improvement over Anakin as an annoying little kid in episode 1.
