With a lift station I doubt this will be on septic. While some septic system do use a "turd chopper" it looks like this one will go out the pipe.

You say that as though it were a bad thing.
I wish someone in upper leadership still had a passion for architecture and design.
It would not surprise me one bit if someone did. I have run into people in the construction business that don't know what a lift station is.

Everything North of the Contemporary, including flow from the Magic Kingdom, has to be pumped down World Drive.
This addition of this lift station means that there are about 30 pumping stations across the property.

The plan shows the forcemain connecting to an existing forcemain and rerouting of the existing forcemain. The pump specifications and details buried deeper in the plan set specify pumps with 85’ of head. Without seing more general utility plans of the area, I assume this is then being pumped in to the larger forcemain along World Drive.
With the discussion of sewage flow we have taken Disney World fandom to a new and disturbing level.

It is nothing new. Uber fans have been claiming the place has turned to $#!t for years.With the discussion of sewage flow we have taken Disney World fandom to a new and disturbing level.

The fans have really hit the $#!t now!

So can one infer that these new trailers mean there might be a new expansion coming to Magic Kingdom? Since this was a staging area for New Fantasyland in 2011, or is this just a temporary set-up while they expand the WDI building behind Epcot? There's allegedly new monorails coming as well as a D23 this summer
It's likely to be staging for the new Reflections Wilderness Lodge Resort/DVC.

But I thought this new resort was on par with a Hampton Inn stylistically.

Surely you know, it is likely, that none of the swampland upon which WDW is built, would ever pass a percolation test to support a properly sized drain (leach) field. (and sorry for calling you Shirley)

Doesn't matter the style, still needs construction offices.

A dozen new trailers in addition to those that already exist. Plus major addition to Epcot Imagineering.
But you might be right.
Nobody said all of them are for Reflections. Probably for a variety of projects.

If I had my say it would take a dozen trailers plus Imagineering. But that is a thread for another forum at a different time by somebody else. I reckin'.

What seems to be the confusing part to many is calling them trailers. True, they were pre-built offsite and rolled into place on tires and wheels, but, they are set up as permanent structures just like double wide mobile homes are or for that matter even single wide mobile homes. They are set in place and are hooked up to electricity, water and sewer be it septic tanks or sewage lines. It's use by Disney, are probably considered disposable, I would think. If they decide later to move the stuff elsewhere they don't have a huge investment in permanent foundations. They are strapped down for hurricane protection and are used as permanent structures until they aren't.
You would be shocked what can pass a perc test in Florida. Florida's sandy soil drains quite well even with a high water table. Even if it fails, a mound septic system is often an option.
The point is however moot as it was already revealed that they are connecting into a sewer system.
