Work is nearly complete around the new Cast building next to Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Construction is also underway where the new DVC cabins will be installed.

Fencing covered in foliage-printed scrim still surrounds two sides of the new building. The building itself appears to be complete but crews are working on the sidewalks and flowerbeds around it.

Sprinklers and plants have been installed around the building, partially obscuring it from guest view.

More fencing has come down from near the bus stop at the end of the sidewalk.

Traffic cones and other construction materials have been cleared from around the road. But there are still plastic barriers on the right and fencing on the left.

As we previously reported, there’s a single green plastic barrier blocking a driveway at the 2200 block of cabins. Yellow traffic cones outline the future site of a new cabin. There hasn’t been any change here since our last report.

There is significant construction underway at the 2500 loop, however. We previously saw Cast Members surveying this area. Now there are trucks parked on the side of the road.
