The South Florida Water Management District has approved Disney’s permit for a 12.5-acre expansion to the STOLport site near Magic Kingdom, which will include the addition of two new Walt Disney Imagineering office buildings.
STOLport Construction Permit
Dubbed “Project K,” the permit covers 12.51 acres at STOLport, the former Walt Disney World Airport site off World Drive. Disney filed the Individual Environmental Resource Permit in August and the District approved it on November 24, 2025. It will expire in five years.
The permit covers the construction of two new buildings, as well as supportive infrastructure such as sidewalks, parking, and utilities. Two existing retention ponds will also be altered, becoming a dry detention pond and a wet detention pond.
The new office buildings will presumably support work on the major Magic Kingdom expansion, including a Cars area and Disney Villains Land. The STOLport site has frequently housed temporary Imagineering office trailers but these will be more permanent structures.
