Can someone confirm if I have my facts right. I've read conflicting reports on the various bodies of water at
WDW. If anyone has additional info, please elaborate!
• Seven Seas Lagoon is man made, not much more than 10 ft deep, and was created when the ground from
that area was used to raise the elevation of the Magic Kingdom site (and covering the utillidor).
• Bay Lake is and was natural, supposedly drew Walt Disney to that original 11 acre parcel, but was
complete drain and excavated and filled white sand, thus turning the lake from brown to blue.
• World Showcase Lagoon was a sink hole, was turned into the lagoon, excavated ground was used to build a
continuous "mound" behind the pavilions, and there was some kind of gigantic tree stump in the middle of
the lagoon that couldn't be removed so they capped it and placed sand over it.
