Disney filed recently for permission to construct the necessary massive staging complex they need on the site of the former STOLport for their next planned Disney Vacation Club Resort at the site of the Fort Wilderness Campground.

Okay, I'm confused. The map at this link shows the area between the boat dock and trading post, plus the area just east between Palmetto Path and the lake. That's a long way from either set of stables, and as you said, it's not clear if this area will get built upon or of the DVC units will go elsewhere.

This is clearly a complex project, with the above being the part most remote from the STOLport staging area, which is likely why it's being done first.
