What are they building or working on?
Ok, so when I was there in september(OKW) I noticed an area that was being worked on. When you leave OKW and take a right and go all the way down at that light(i don't rember the name of the street) there was some construction going on over in that area. It did look like something somewhat big. Does anyone have any info on this?

My DH drove me insane every time we were on that stretch of road (which was very often) he would say 'wouldn't surprise me if they weren't building a new resort there' -he did that every time we were held up at the lights  I thought if he says that once more............................

Yes, it is where the Four Seasons Resort will be built. I heard the bus driver telling another guest this while I was there last month.

Re: What are they building or working on?
Thats awsome. I wonder if it will have Disney benefits also or not be any part of Disney at all. It did look great in the Photo.

Disney Finalizes Deal with Four Seasons to Anchor New Resort:
Walt Disney World Co. has finalized the sale of 298 acres of land to Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts for a hotel and golf course that will anchor the new luxury resort announced last year as part of an expansion of Walt Disney WorldŽ Resort. "This is an important milestone for a project that will enable our company and our community to further tap into the luxury travel market," said Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "Working together for the first time, Walt Disney World Resort and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts will create a world-class family resort destination that offers the exceptional service and amenities and one-of-a-kind guest experiences that are the hallmark of both our brands."
