Can anyone identify these buildings?

Hi everyone.

So, I was sitting on the balcony of our Orlando World Center resort and I was able to recognize some Disney monuments, including Downtown Disney and the Tower of Terror. However, I could not, for the life of me, figure out what these buildings were that seemed to be on the Disney property. I told myself, why not take a picture and show it to the brilliant people on Disboards.com?

So here it is...

I apologize if I posted this in the wrong forum, but it seemed like it was on Disney property and it looked like hotels. If I'm wrong, mods, feel free to move it. Thanks!

Bonnet Creek resort?

Hmm...not sure. I'm not sure what resort is over there..maybe Swan & Dolphin?? I'm sure someone here knows.......

 

[ds143]

nope, it's not the swan and dolphin. i could see those farther to the right.

nice try though!

Yeah, looking at live.com, it makes sense.

Bonnet Creek is being built up on a corner of property that Disney never purchased; I believe due to word getting out back in 1969(?) that Disney was moving in and land prices then going through the roof.

Yup Bonnet Creek it is. I'm not a very big fan of non-Disney buildings screwing with the skyline on property, but what can you do.

Yes, but I saw something about Disney & building and I don't think structures can be more than 200 feet high. The castle & Spaceship Earth are very close-so as far as messing with the skyline-yeah I know what you mean but they won't "TOP" Disney

I thought they couldn't be over 200 ft without having a flashing light for air traffic. From what I have seen (Travel Ch specials) that Walt didn't want that to ruin the castle, and therefore stopped at 200 ft.

But I will agree... I hate to see huge hotels ruining the view. I love to see ToT sticking up above everything!

YEAH!!!!! That was it!!! I couldn't remember where I saw it!! I think you're right about the flashing light at 200 ft!!!! I wasn't sure the exact story & #s but I knew it was 200 feet! Thanks!
