6 million is nothing. Doubt it means anything more but jumping on an opportunity to add more land and flexibility.

This is definitely becoming conservation land to open up land elsewhere on the property.

Yes, almost definitely in the short term.

But plenty of conservation land is now zoned for theme park or hotel usage. So down the line, I can see this being a rather prime spot to build a hotel if Disney chooses. Especially with the land sitting right up against the golf course.

You have to wonder... after they build their 6th gate, do they double down and go for a 7th and 8th? Call those parks and park 5/6 an entire different Disney entity from Walt Disney World. Now instead of guest booking their 1 week vacations, they'll be booking their 2 week vacations!

So they can ruin more nature that Walt kept aside to build more timeshare and homes for millionaires.

This is definitely Gate 5. Villains will be gate 6.

This one is earmarked as the new Marvel gate after they trade the Simpsons rights to Universal for the Marvel rights.

235 acres is too small for a new park, me thinks it's more infrastructure upgrades for roads/resorts/skyliner/etc.

Umm, most parks in Florida aren't even close to this size lol (MK, IOA, USF, DHS, SWO, and probably Epic Universe as well)

It could be for a new super high end resort to counter the 4 Seasons.

They need one. The current parks are becoming too crowded.

I think this is very possible, especially considering the rumors of a resort going next to GF.
