    New WDW resorts--no time soon? but...

    A pedestrian bridge across World Drive would have to be plenty big, but stranger things have happened. The region just north of canal L-402--at the northern extremity of the construction access road shown in the "DHS Permit" thread--would be the place to look for a connection between the...

    US-192 Memories, Sucess, and Failure

    According to the W192 Redevelopment Plan, it would be along 192 anywhere from the Polk County line to SR535 (Vineland Rd). However, it appears that the Flamingo Crossings plan has stolen some thunder from the W192 aims. Or maybe not--there's a Marriott Fairfield Inn under construction at the old...

    danlb_2000: Thank you for that updating info! I'll change the OP. Do you have a link or maybe a map in a post here? I don't recall seeing that in your "Permits" thread (which I enjoyed, by the way), and it would be good to get a sense of the pond's dimensions.

    Old Town - Kissimmee

    Fun Spot Orlando (near I-Drive) and Fun Spot Kissimmee (next to Old Town USA) have ticket reciprocity. Old Town USA is under separate ownership and has no reciprocity with Fun Spot's Kissimmee location next to it. Most of the Old Town USA rides were removed. You can see where Windstorm used to...

    Old Town - Kissimmee

    Fun Spot and Old Town, two different owners. You can walk around between the two because neither charges entry admission, but as Tom Morrow pointed out, there's no ride-ticket reciprocity. Currently, it looks like Old Town attractions are "cash only" anyway. Old Town went through bankruptcy a...

    GoofyDufy: Glad you enjoyed it! You wanted more, you got it, although I'd like to steer clear of the OKW/golf course question. See below for analysis of possible existing resort expansion, plus the theme parks given the level of interest here. As always, all corrections/updates welcome! NOTE: I...

    raymusiccity: Agreed, the zone between the Junction and the LBV STOLport appears to have been considered. Based on the Mixed Use and Hotel/Resort areas (brown and purple) shown in RCID's 2020 plan, it looks like the way is planned for Wilderness Junction (or whatever theme/name), with...

    New WDW resorts--no time soon? but...

    Nubs70: Thanks for explaining! Very interesting--would you agree that standing pat on new resort construction for now would facilitate a strategy of using resort capacity to increase overall revenue? Agreed, that would be a negative for offsite hotels, especially along 192. It seems like a...

    I'm curious--what are PCGS and PRGS? A Google search for abbreviations keeps coming up "coins" and World Bank. Thanks!

    Flamingo Crossing Hotels

    Texas84: You're right, it was post #121. From the 10/2/14 Sentinel article: "...the complex hopes to sell attraction tickets too, and it will provide Disney theme-park shuttle service."

    Glad you enjoyed the post! Even after a short time here it's clear that a lot of folks have extensive insight and information going back a long way. The neat thing about the forum format is that the OP can be a repository for updated and corrected information that others can reference if they...

    bjm72385: The purple areas are 1) the old Persian resort site, now a staging area and CM-only parking lot; and 2) the Wilderness/Buffalo Junction site between Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness. By the original map, do you mean the 1991 map from NickC? If you're interested in the "H#" parcels...

    Flamingo Crossing Hotels

    DarthFiscus75: About five miles from DAK gate via Western Way. Unknown on the free shuttle, but if they're targeting sports teams, there might be an assumption that they come with their own bus. Also, how many of Marriott's local SpringHill and TownePlace properties offer free shuttles? I think...

    ^ JohnD: Yes, and it's also interesting how H9 became Blizzard Beach Thank you, Teach, but I think a few pluses need to come off because I missed that solar-panel Mickey head. Shucks.
