Disney in Texas

[lowes2840]

Well, I live in Bastrop & just heard that Disney is coming here. Heard that is why all the new construction of businesses is going up. Wondered why for such a small town we had so many banks.. Anyways, they purchased the land at the Stiener Ranch & have already started the construction. I actually hate this idea, it's a nice small town & now it's going to become a huge tourist spot. :-(

Disney Is NOT building another park in the United States right now. It doesn't make sense for them monetarily. They will continue to build outside the US. So You get to keep you're quiet town

...and even if they were (which they most certainly are not) do you really think you'd be breaking the story here?

A quick Google search shows that this rumor has been floating around since at least 2007.

They'll build a new park when they get to thawing Walt out

They were in almost every mall, untill they ruined the stores and sold them to Childrens Place who also lost money at them, So Disney has them back and closed most of them

it doesn't take a team of ivy league geniuses to figure out the real reason...

The product went from "unique" in the early 90's to complete crap 10 years later...

today they sell 4 things: rubber figures, poorly constructed plushies, t shirts, and real gaudy princess dresses

I remember the day i walked in and asked where the watches were and they said they were getting rid of that type of stuff. I don't remeber the exact conversation, but i said I probably would not be comming back and I was informed I was not the only one who felt that way.

My post was really made out of boredom from being home sick and trying to make a point that Disney can buy land or rent property anywhere, it does not mean they are going to build a thempark. If someone told me that Disney Bought land anywhere in the US I would take it as a possibility, but the second they start saying that is for the purposes of a themepark that is where any credibility goes out the window.

Now I apologize for perpetuating this thread that was restarted with someones first ever post.

That is a 5+ year old rumor. Lost Pines is the only resort that will be in Bastrop for the near future, but hey, you are getting a Buccees!

Yes, Disney in TX is a pipe dream, but let's remember just how far these "Disney is buying land/coming to" things can go before being aborted:

Gah! Don't remind me! I would almost certainly be an AP holder for Disney's America had it been built, as it's basically only an hour from home (less if you miss rush hour).

Any rumor that suggests that Disney already "secretly" has another major U.S. destination under construction has no credibility. It just is not possible to do something like that without an environmental impact study, a traffic study, public hearings, governmental approval, zoning changes, and disclosure to the SEC and shareholders. On top of that, Disney is likely to seek access improvements at government expense.

Perhaps, some day, it will make business sense for Disney to develop another U.S. destination. If so, it will well known long before any shovel hits the ground.

Disney America very cool! Wish Disney would have built the park in VA like they planned!

When I was a young girl growing up in Michigan I remember a rumor that Disney was going to build in West Bloomfield (about 1970-1978ish?) I remember adults talking about it maybe was even on the news. Does this ring a bell with anyone else?

I may be pulling stuff out my rear end, but if I remember correctly from reading my Walt Disney biographies, Michigan was on the list of places under consideration for Disney World. I think that it was quickly crossed off the list when they decided that they wanted it to be in a warm weather area.

Again with this thread from 2007? Can we just let this one die already?
