PI Update: Mannequins Construction Permit


CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE  Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a Notice of Commencement with Orange County titled "Package 1C - Construction New Building" at 1600 E. Buena Vista Drive in Lake Buena Vista.  According to our previous article that listed many Downtown Disney addresses, that's the address for Mannequins! There were no plans, maps or drawings attached to the permit.  It is unclear what "new building construction" this refers to since they've not previously filed for a demolition permit and the previously placed demolition walls don't completely surround the Mannequins building either. Also, Curl and 8TRAX remain standing at this juncture.  We'll be watching; in the recent past when Disney has filed permits, action has begun shortly thereafter.

    Mannequins is listed as having no adress. I actually got 8 different locations; the closest being Apricot Lane and Fulton's Crab House. This may be an indication that Mannequins might be coming down, or the new building may be an expanded form of the existing one that requires a new adress.

    Also, look closely at the google map. Every demolished building seems to be standing, and the Crab House is mistakenly on another building. The service may not be as up to date with all the changes going on.

    NavTEQ only updates every 8 to 12 months, and google sattelite view every 2 to 4 months.

    That list I made in 2011 listed Mannequins at 1600 E BUENA VISTA DRIVE. But looking at that list, 8TRAX, Apricot Lane & Curl did not have their their addresses listed....probably because they shared the same address as MDP since they were one and the same building.

    Sure enough, I just entered "Curl by Sammy Duval" into "ASK.COM" and it came back with it's address as 1600 E BUENA VISTA DRIVE. So it would appear that new construction to be built at that address could be where Curl or 8TRAX currently stand.

    Fortunately, it does NOT mean where Mannequins itself is located!

    This was an interesting article, hopefully if they get any kind of permit it won't say tear down Mannequins, and 8Trax, instead it will say fix them both up.
