What's this?

This is an area North of Haunted Mansion and Tom Sawyer Island on the other side of Floridian way, and just to the west of the Reedy Creek Energy plant.

Are they containers of some kind or something? Seem to have unusual shape, but maybe that's just distortion.

Thanks.

Looks like trash dumpsters to me. Guess they have to store them somewhere.
Here is another view from bing maps.

Could that have something to do with fireworks? I dont think those are dumsters. IIRC Magic Kingdom has its own waste processing facility onsite.

OK, I have a new theory. May have something to do with power distribution or backup generators or transformer boxes as a birdseye view shows these things all over the place, behind the scenes. Maybe electrical transformer boxes.

Definitely not dumpsters.

I believe the fireworks are stored off Maple Road, just west of the Grand.

Those other photos look like mini shipping containers. Perhaps a sort of intra-Disney World shipping network?

Yeah, they look like a stock pile of space transformers. There are large spools of cable near by so this is probably a storage area for electrical equipment. Looking back on Google Earth they have been there for a long time but were moved around sometime in 2018. Here is how the area looked in January of 2018.

I have to agree with you, either storage or dumspters.
Being so close to Reedy Creek power, they could be spare transformers storage. I used to work for my local power company, and you'd be surprised at how often a 30 year life transformer blows and needs replacing.

Could this possibly become a new world pavilion announced later (between France and Monaco).

Could this become a Brazilian Pavilion, I want a Switzerland one so we can get the Matterhorn

This is where the Ratatouille attraction is being built.

I don't know about some of the other photos but most of these are definitely pad mounted transformers. Looks like there may be some switch gear cabinets too.

Err, no - that's to the left/west and actually in the France pavilion.

Ratatouille is taking up about 2/3 of this space.

My bad. I thought you were talking about the whole expansion pad.

What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Pretty sure those are monorail footers.

Either that, or stockpiling the tomb stones and crypts for all the people that the Skyliner is going to kill in the first quarter of operation..
