What is Disney doing at 7474 Chancellor Drive??

Even if related to the parade I would imagine it’s only a matter of time before permits or something for that start to trickle out, IF of course those plans have to changed.

Parades generally don't need permits.

The likes of Walt Disney Imagineering and Universal Creative utilize miscellaneous warehouses for all sorts of different work. Mock-ups, production, testing and even just storage.

Well the parade itself probably wouldn’t but any work backstage might or the more likely thing is the rumor of MK getting a new parade route lighting package.

Can we not turn this into another nighttime parade thread when we already have one? Here is a link to that thread to post on there: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/msep-ending-at-disneyland-on-sept-1-wdw-return-in-2023.978090/

Those permits would have addresses in and around the Magic Kingdom.

Didn't they file permits for when the recent cavalcade was in development? That was done in the parade storage building unlike festival of fantasy though which was built elsewhere.

I think they were built on site. The chassis came from a company in Groveland if I recall.

If they were on site they had to be somewhere behind magic kingdom as I remember them being driven down floridian way

Not that I am aware of. Permits for the parade storage buildings are not uncommon. Changes to the building itself would require permits, but work on the parade floats would not.

Wonder if this relates to one of the announced projects.

Just a hunch... but the trains in this concept art seem to bear a striking resemblance to Vekoma's Suspended Family Coaster model. This shipment was listed from Vekoma right? I wonder if this offsite warehouse is testing the lift mechanic they teased in presentation last night.

Firstly, Assa Abloy is a access control company, who makes Vingcard that Disney uses in the hotels. CMs use HID.

Secondly, I dug into this with import records I have access too and at the address and what returns is as follows for WDC Corporate Tooling: Most Recent Shipment: 01/02/2015 (Database Updated: 07/31/2024).

Lastly, VEKOMA RIDES PARTS SERVICES B V is just parts for pre-existing. You want Vekoma Rides Manufacturing B V.

FWIW, Disney is out of warehouse space on property for anything of any significant size until their new warehouse gets built. And I highly doubt the new projects announced last night are far enough along that the ride systems have already been designed and parts of it are being built and already ready for shipment. BTM is getting re-tracked, though, and it would totally make sense for them to be using this kind of space to store the track segments until they're needed onsite. I also seem to recall some discussion about building a short piece of test track somewhere with respect to this, but I thought that was going to be on site. Perhaps the permit has something to do with that.

Guardian and/or Tron's tracks were stored on property in a field north of Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Slinky Dog Dash was stored north of ESPN.

To sum it up, 7474 Chancellor Drive is just another storage warehouse. A midway point between international shipping ports and WDW.

Stop it with this perfectly reasonable logic

Also, I doubt Disney would stage any attractions in a publicly accessible industrial park less than 3 miles (5 minutes on surface streets) from Universal Creative.
