Filling it in for "future development". Nothing official as far as its use, not even any halfway reliable rumors, except for the persistent "Fire Mountain".
If there is a sub doing the work, then yes for sure. I'm not sure if they do it as a maintenence item on their own if they have to file with the county or not.
Whether you all choose to believe it or not. They are filling it in. It has been announced by Disney, and is already in process and should be complete by November.
It seems strange that WDW will just have an empty area there. I wonder if Disney will just put in some plants or something to fill it in? It'll be awfully bare there if they don't.
the lagoon looked really nice. i wish i couldve seen it again now that im older. my memories of it are a little blurry. o well, thats land developement for ya.
