Fort Wilderness Resort Meadows Project permits
Posted: Tuesday April 16, 2024 10:26am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has filed new permits with the South Florida Water Management District to make changes to the recreation area at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.

The plans in the "Fort Wilderness Resort Meadows Project" permit show the removal of a beach volleyball court and disc golf area, which will be replaced with a new 5530 sq ft building and retention pond.

It isn't clear from the plans what the new building will be used for, or when the work will begin.

Disney has been busy updating Fort Wilderness Resort, including the refreshed restaurant offerings and new cabins opening this summer.

    Perhaps the second? I think the first might have been this one back in October:

    So I'm assuming this thread will be coming to a close soon and we'll get a new thread for 2025?

    Beginning with this post, I have added notations in brackets with a little more information, i.e., permits being extended, permit expiration longer than 1 year or if the permit is filed by WDI. 6 Notices of Commencement were filed between Dec. 26 - Dec. 27: 12/26/2024 Disney’s Animal Kingdom 671 DINOLAND DR (BONEYARD AT DINOLAND) - Buena Vista Construction Company - Provide labor, material and/or electrical for construction Port Orleans 2311 ORLEANS DR (PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER BLDG 6 (RM 6101-6348)) - Balfour Beatty Constructions LLC - General Construction 2311 ORLEANS DR (PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER BLDG 6 (RM 6101-6348)) - Tecta America Corp/Tecta America SE 12/27/2024 Magic Kingdom 4710 CARIBBEAN WY (MO 8) - Cameron Constructors, Inc. - General Construction 1305 MONORAIL WY (BUZZ LIGHTYEAR) - Maddox Electric Company, Inc. - Install projectors [WDI] EPCOT [URL='https://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/downloads/20240731509.pdf?id=DOC3803S20699.A0&parent=DOC3803S20699&guest=true']2010 AVENUE OF THE STARS (THE LAND) - Jon Richards Company FL, Inc. - Install signage [WDI]

    I really appreciate you always sharing your knowledge of these different permits. I’d be lost without you chiming in. I enjoy getting a glimpse of what is happening on property. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

    No, they are extensions of the existing permits from the area, which means the contractor hasn't actually finished all the contracted work.

    Maybe just annual maintenance.
