Current work at the Fort

[Kidatheart2010]

What is this going to be? We were there a few weeks ago for a short visit to the Fort. It’s by what used to be the bus stop before it was moved. It’s behind Scrim fencing.

There were plans floating around for a structure at the Meadows about a year ago. While I didn't see any indication of that building, I did notice that they had staked a much wider path along the current cart path behind the pool to the campfire as well as marked what I think is the mean high water line along the canal. My completely untethered to anything guess is that they will create a much wider path back there with additional parking for an anticipated increase in people coming to that mystery building in golf carts. Either the shuffleboard and archery will have to go or the green space along the canal behind the movie theater (or the movie theater!??!!!) will have to go.

After seeing the incredibly intrusive development behind Trails End and its extent along the lake, I have no faith in Disney to respect the feel of the Fort. Anything they rework, even a small detail like that road, will lose its charm and be replaced with a sanitized, corporate, generic version. Gosh, I feel so pessimistic, but seeing this past weekend what's going up makes me feel that whoever the architect / planner is for this project did not spend one minute at the Fort.

The Meadows permit (and lack of any work) is perplexing. I really thought they would start that as the cabin replacement wrapped up, but all the cabins have been replaced and nothing. I wonder if they are waiting to have enough actual cabin DVC sales to start. I keep hearing the cabin DVC sales are still going very slow.

While there may be some "improvements" to the cart paths and additional parking, I would be shocked if the campfire moved or went away.
