Geotech boring for Project 89

Posted: Tuesday March 6, 2018 12:14pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has filed new permits relating to 'Project 89' near to its Fort Wilderness Resort.

The permit relates to geotechnical borings, which are typically done to explore suitability of land ahead of major construction. At this time we are not aware of specifics relating to 'Project 89,' but given its location, a future resort development would appear possible.

According to the plans, borings are being made either side of the old River Country site. Thanks to @danlb_2000 on the WDWMAGIC Forums for spotting the permits.

It’s a pond. The numbers are the elevation of the contours. It starts at +99’ and goes down to +83’.

If it makes Disney money they will do it

I would guess a pond. I can't imagine they would back up two wing of rooms directly into a sizable berm. Sadly, I think the WL view is going to go from secluded national park to national park with a modern apartment complex in the middle. (Could be wrong, and happy to eat my words if not...) If true, this is the worst part of this whole thing. It's like Disney wants to actively dismantle all the things that make the resorts feel like true escapes.

I'll give you a shovel and you can find out!!

Oooh ok thank you! I do remember that now. So what is in the old horse stable right now? Anything?

Oh interesting, I did not know that!

They already relocated the horses a while ago in preparation for this project before it was paused and restarted.

DisneyDreamer087 days ago

Thank you both! I wonder if they will relocate the horses? The parking lot is awfully close.

Refer to circle D ranch (C-112) to orient yourself. It looks like there might be a berm (or is it a retention pond?), in which case wilderness lodge should be spared.

Starship8247 days ago

On the old River Country site. Right below the island on that map.

DisneyDreamer088 days ago

Sorry, can someone just clarify where this is being built? Is it in this general area?

BrianLo8 days ago

Here’s some recent activity. It’s going to be very visible from Contemporary and vis versa. I prefer they build more of a buffer against Wilderness Lodge. It’s not the end of the world and mostly going to stick out from the boat dock if they don’t buffer it correctly.
