WDW Permits 2017

[Goofyernmost]

With Star Wars opening soon.. they will need a lot of transportation. I can bet the monorail and buses will be outrageously busy or failing.

They will probably add buses to DHS (or whatever it ends up being called) but, I don't see how it could affect Monorails in anyway other then perhaps taking riders away from them. It is going to change the dynamic of the parks, because at least for awhile, MK will remain the most visited, but, Epcot will fall to 4th initially while "DHS" will become #2 and DAK with Avatar will become #3. I don't know how long that will last, but, initially that is where the 'musts sees' are going to be.

I mean as in overall visitors park wise.
There will be huge crowds.
They will flood not only to DHS but also to the other parks, and its well known how the monorail goes constantly down on high days. I wouldn't be surprised if MyMagic crashes as well (since it seems to always crash on july 4th and President's day)

Yeah it's interesting, at the earliest Epcot won't see another new attraction until 2020 if they break ground this year. Which would be smart as it would give them a new attraction for the year after Star Wars opens and then obviously in 2021 we expect a new attraction for MK's 50th.

Lets hope that DHS's parking/entrance have been moved and redone (including buses) before SWL opens.

The new entrance road is scheduled to be complete and open by 9/1/2018.

Have the permit and plans leaked already?

They are public record, so not really a leak...

The new highway entrance and parking lots were posted on the forums long ago. The permit for a new ticket booth... not yet.

Do you mean toll both? The permit for the new parking toll plaza was filed back in January.

Oops. I guess I missed that "Surcharge Area".

 

[rushtest4echo]

The rerouting of roads is fine- as Official Permit Master Dan has pointed out, but what about the overhaul to the entrance of the park and the parking lots themselves?

I see that the ITJ contractor laydown area permits were filed earlier in March... It seems the ITJ project is the 'gondola' and the laydown area fit and are actually submitted under one whole project...

I know its been known this is coming but this really makes me excited seeing more and more evidence this is actually coming to light.

It's not used?
Doesn't Canada have one as well?[/QUOTE

None in Canada right now, although the upstairs plaza is often used as an outdoor venue. Inside the chateau the bottom floor is used as storage and the second floor is an old break room. Hopefully someday the building will be used again.

As for all the other lounges, they are used quite often for special events/ cast meetings / recognitions. I participated in a school visit last year where students were invited to the Seas Lounge for a breakfast and panel discussions with international cast members.

They should be ashamed of themselves, it's a sphere not a dome!

So they add LEDs to the "dome" what do you think they are really doing? Wand for the 50th?

Low voltage electrical doesn't have to be lighting and it isn't necessarily on the exterior. There was also a permit for HVAC so this is probably something related to HVAC or fire protection.

I wonder if in 10 years Worldshowcase will look like a popular market in Mexico or India where theres hardly space to walk because vendors are everywhere.

Not more - Brazil already is a kiosk.
