Reedy Creek Improvement District long-term land use meeting 2023

[lentesta]

I might go to the RCID planning meeting at 9 am this Wednesday. Let me know if there’s anything specific I should look for.

I went to the RCID planning meeting today.

Long-term land use plan updated to allow:

- more hotel rooms
- two additional minor theme parks ("like water parks"-I asked)
- one additional major theme park

More soon.

For what it's worth:

1. The original 2020 plan, adopted in 2010, allowed for 1 more major theme park and 2 more minor theme parks. (Page 2A-11, which is roughly page 31 in the PDF.)
2. I think the 2020 plan was adopted as the 2032 plan via Item 6I in these meeting minutes from May 25, 2022.
3. If that's the case, then these would be the new maximums:
   
   6 major theme parks
   7 minor theme parks

Oh, one more thing from the meeting: the new MK flyover should be open on February 1, 2023.

I don't suppose they have an updated land-use document. They're kinda late with the 2020 plan.

Since it’s Schmursday, will the next Disney Dish delve into 1) what would constitute a “minor theme park” for these purposes, and 2) in the absence of further context and information, which current WDW parks might constitute a “minor theme park”?

Likely something the size of the existing water parks.

Should be published in February.

I was specifically told "like water parks". I asked.

The two minor and one major park were in the 2020 plan.

.. also keep in mind that the things like "1 major park" listed in the planning document are not necessarily an indication that there is a plan to actually build it. These are limits used for planning purposes, it's basically saying that the details in the plan are designed to accommodate "1 major park". Here are the limits from the 2020 document:

Sounds like no change from the 2020 land use then, right?

I will quickly peruse all 563 pages and return with my assessment in 2026.

…wouldn’t it be a good time for them to drop an incredibly expensive, complex…but sales tax generating master plan update today?

They should promise that…with zero intention of ever doing it.

It’s a good tactical and strategic move

It has been suggested to me that:

• Getting this on the books now vs later ... could not hurt
• Leverage

Indeed.
I would argue they should have tossed something together (like those stupid “blue sky” fake announcements ) and mimicked Comcast’s south campus development

As a complete empty promise they can’t be called out on.

WDW will be under water by then due to the climate crisis, right?
