I'm guessing based upon the buildings construction and location they didn't take into fact where the tower and signal through the concrete is... so they are having to include some repeaters for the GSM and other networks to keep the DVCers happy...:lol:
I would lean toward installing a repeater system. All of that steel and concrete will kill a cell signal which seem to be notoriously week in some parts of WDW anyway.

The link for the Cell coverage doc points to 9893. This seems to be the water heater replacement doc.
I know a little about RF and it seems odd that Contemporary cell service has been OK for a few years now, but BLT next door is not? I REALLy wonder which carrier is getting more access/help.

I can only assume this is for the reTheming of the restaurant to an Under Siege theme.
Makes sense. Just odd that this specific building is getting "cell phone" attention, while no others have, that I know of.
Agreed.
Links fixed. Thanks.
Agreed. Why just BLT? We stayed there in October and had Sprint and Verizon services in our party - both worked great. I would assume that maybe they're boosting Nextel, since that's what CMs use.

At least they acknoweledge the fact that cell phone coverage is necessary in some areas.

Wow, that came out of left field. Aren't they supposed to be redoing the TS again? Sounds like this is designed to be a substitute but also a permanent addition. I think it's probably overdue.
Yeah, no kidding. News indeed.
The restaurant owner is a company in Orlando, and the description of the work location is "construction area".
Ah yes, good call. I love that thread BTW. I wish a mod would sticky it up by Permits. It's a nice resource.

Wasn't there some rumor about this last spring? I remember some talk about a QS restuarant proposed Italy.

sounds like the rumor from like 2 years ago is finally happening (like the tequila bar that opened this year was rumored at the same time)

Ahh, I see.. Thanks edwardtc.
Always good to get something new. Hopefully it'll be a nice place.

12/15 - 12/18 Update
Went back and added some permits filed in Osceola County, including an awning at one of the All-Stars, and 3 facilities at DWWS - and one more on the 18th.
The 17th was a busy day at the Recorder's office. It appears that they're starting to file the permits for January's Splash refurb.
Also, a significant amount of "Electrical Work" in MK (Hub, HM, Frontierland) and Epcot (France, Land).
They have also filed the permit for the refurb on the front of the castle, which is slated to start right after the marathon (and my trip), according to other threads. They'll also be replacing the hand rails on the staircase from the Castle to the Tunnels.
A lot of these permits were filed by "Buena Vista Construction Co" (aka, Disney), so they're very vague and have no survey maps. There are a couple of permits that I'm unable to locate.
1) One permit in Epcot is just listed as 1404 Avenue of the Stars, which is merely the service road behind FW pavilions. It could be anything.
2) AF&E Building, in the Administration Area. This one has a map, but I haven't looked up the exact location. I wouldn't know exactly what building it was anyway.
Thoughts on these two?

Interesting... Thank you very much.
About the Admin area it seems as though it will expire in this month next year.

I believe that permits are good for 1 year by default, unless a different time frame is specifically requested.

Ahh, I see... Interesting. Well, let's hope it's something for the better that they are doing.
