Walt Disney World - Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, FL
Post 1 of 2 - This post will focus on resorts.
Note that many of these resorts have mini-horns in the individual rooms, even if the common areas have speaker/strobes.
Caribbean Beach
This is a multi-building resort. The guest room buildings are small enough to not have any system other than the standalone smoke alarms in each room.
Main Building
Panel: Siemens Desigo Fire Safety FV-series (most likely), installed during a 2018 refurbishment.
Pulls: HMS-S’
Detectors: OP921’s
Signals: Wheelock E50 speaker/strobes (rebranded)
Riviera
Panel: EST3 - there’s an annunciator behind the front desk.
Pulls: SIGA-270’s
Detectors: SIGA-PD’s
Signals: Genesis speaker/strobes and remote strobes inside…
…and Integrity speaker/strobes outside, even though this building opened in December 2019.
Contemporary
Bay Lake Tower
Panel: EST3, unknown location.
Pulls: SIGA-270’s or SIGA-278’s
Detectors: SIGA’s…
…and one SIGA-PD.
Signals: Genesis speaker/strobes
Convention Center
Panel: Pyrotronics XL3 (most likely, as this building opened in 1991)
Pulls: MSX-2’s (most likely)
Signals: Wheelock EHS-DL1 horn/strobes
Main Building - This is one of the most varied systems I’ve ever seen, thanks to countless building modifications. Despite this being a 14-floor building, it doesn’t have voice-evacuation in most areas. What kind of Mickey Mouse operation is this?!
Panel: A two-panel Siemens setup with an MXL (which replaced a System 3 sometime in the 1990’s or 2000’s), and an XLS which was added sometime around 2015 or so. (These setups are officially supported by Siemens. You can tell the system has 2 panels thanks to the 3-part address labels, such as 1-11-21.)
Pulls: MS-151’s in most areas, and possibly some MSI-10B’s.
The monorail platform area has rebranded RSG RMS-1T’s.
Detectors: DI-6’s on the 1st and 2nd floors…
…DI-3’s on the 3rd and 4th floors…
…and OP121’s on the room levels. (The room levels also had DI-3’s or DI-6’s before the refurbishment.)
Near the DI-3’s on the 4th floor there are also some Chemetronics heat detectors which are probably disconnected.
Certain areas like the arcade have FirePrints.
Signals: The few non-refurbished areas (3rd floor and Chef Mickey’s) have Wheelock MT-24-LSM horn/strobes and some current-generation MT’s.
The lobby and arcade have Gentex Commander 3 horn/strobes.
The room levels have Siemens-branded Wheelock Exceder LED horn/strobes, which replaced Gentex GX90S mini-horn/strobes.
The monorail platform has Wheelock ET70WP speaker/strobes.
The 2nd floor (where the ballrooms are) has no signals at all - however, there is a sound system which is probably linked to the panel.
Polynesian
Main Building
Panel: Siemens Desigo Fire Safety FV-series (most likely, given the size of the building)
Pulls: MS-51’s in most areas (one of the covers had clear glass, and the pull was an MS-51 not an MS-151)…
…and rebranded RSG RMS-1T’s in the monorail station, which was redone in 2021.
Detectors: OP921’s (which replaced PE-11’s)…
…and some Xtralis OSID beam detectors in the lobby area.
Signals: Gentex SHG horn/strobes in most areas…
…some Commander 3’s in some of the restaurants…
…and Siemens-branded Wheelock ET70WP speaker/strobes in the monorail station.
Grand Floridian
Main Building
Panel: EST3 - there’s an annunciator behind the front desk. This system was installed around 2012 and replaced the original system from 1988.
Pulls: SIGA-270’s in most areas (which replaced Gamewell Centuries, according to old pictures I found online)
…and rebranded RSG RMS-1T’s in the monorail station.
Detectors: SIGA’s
Signals: GC-series and G4-series speaker/strobes and remote strobes - installed in 2020, replacing the original Wheelock E-90XX-WS-24 and E-70XX-WS-24 speaker/strobes and WST-24 remote strobes. Some areas also had regular Genesis speaker/strobes.
The monorail station has WG4 speaker/strobes.
Villas
Panel: EST3 (most likely)
Pulls: SIGA-270’s
Detectors: SIGA2’s
Signals: Genesis speaker/strobes and remote speakers
Wilderness Lodge
Copper Creek
Panel: Siemens Desigo Fire Safety Modular, unknown location. This was installed around 2020, and replaced the original MXL from 1994.
Pulls: MSI-10B’s in one half, HMS-S’ in the other.
Detectors: FirePrints (and possibly some old ID-60P’s) in one half, OP921’s in the other half.
Signals: Wheelock E70 and E50 speaker/strobes, all rebranded.
Boulder Ridge - UPDATE: SYSTEM DEFUNCT
Panel: Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL (location unknown)
Pulls: MSI-10B’s
Detectors: FirePrints
Signals: S-LP-series speaker/strobes
Beach Club
Main Building
Panel: Siemens FireFinder XLS, unknown location. This was installed in 2011, replacing the original system from 1990.
Pulls: HMS-S’
Detectors: FirePrints. According to old pictures I found online, the original system had DI-3’s or DI-X3’s.
Signals: Wheelock ET-1070-WS-24 speaker/strobes…
…one ET-1070-LSM-24-VFR speaker/strobe rebranded by Cerberus Pyrotronics…
…and some E70’s rebranded by Siemens.
I’ve heard this system in action back in 2015. It does code-3 (rather odd to hear this from non-ADA-compliant speaker/strobes) and the default message.
Villas
Panel: Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL, located near the service elevator on the 1st floor.
Pulls: MSI-10B’s
Detectors: FirePrints
Signals: S-HP-MCS speaker/strobes…
…some rebranded E70’s…

Pulls: MSI-10B’s
Detectors: ILP-1’s…
…and at least one FirePrint.
Signals: Gentex SPK4 speaker/strobes
Some have been replaced with SSPK24WLPW speaker/strobes.

…and some Siemens-branded E70’s.
