Orlando Informer tweeted this earlier:

Portofino Bay is getting 18 suites with a Despicable Me theme. The rooms will be ready in August 2013.

There was a building permit filed today with the City of Orlando for CityWalk Space 745J. Any clue what space 745J at CityWalk is? Or if there is anything that can be connected to "PY"?
Google tells me this company created an LLC in March:
PYQ-MCO, LLC
UNIVERSAL CITYWALK, 6000 UNIVERSAL...
