Permit filed for "Wilderness Rehab Project" listing sub contractors with an August 31, 2018 expiration. It lists the address as 109 Timbeline Drive. The Wilderness Lodge Villas address is 901 Timberline. It appears to be a follow-up to the permit issued to DPR Construction on March 25 which was rumored to be tied to a DVC rehab/conversion at the main lodge amongst other items.

The Walt Disney Company will be reporting its 2nd Quarter earnings bright and early tomorrow at 8:00 AM:
http://thewaltdisneycompany.com/investors/events#3246

This is unusual, and a change from the previous time because of the unfortunate passing of Board Member Sheryl Sandberg's husband. Because Mr. Iger and other Disney executives and Board members want to be there to honor the life of this man, they've rescheduled the broadcast for the morning.

2nd Quarter Earnings=8:00 AM*
Conference Call= 9:30 AM*

*Eastern Standard Time

Quite a few specialists listed in there....architect; mechanical, electrical, civil, fire protection engineers; landscape design, interior design, site development, etc.

I realize the body of the permit is meant to be generic, but there seems to be much more going on than the "flooring and light fixture rehab" it states.

Which would pretty much confirm the conversion to DVC. It will be interesting to see if we get permits for over the water rooms like is rumored.

why not Jango Fett? I mean, Boba Fett will be interesting, but hearing about Jango's origin and how he got involved with the cloning facility on Kamino would be more appealing in my book. Still an interesting concept tho

1. Boba is a more popular character.
2. Jango has the "stink" of the new trilogy on him.

? Didn't the railroad receive a major refurbished just last year? Was that out of service for a good time during that work. Any idea what they need to do this year that will take it down for six weeks?

Yes it did. Hey whatever is the problem they are fixing I'm ok with that. At least disney hasn't gome running the trains into the ground yet. Also possible that what they didn't get done last year they will get done this year.
