East of Typhoon Lagoon

[Shelley Chiarats]

My husband and I were looking at Google Maps and there is a long skinny building with a compass orange circle in the middle of it. It is across the street from Downtown Disney and east of Typhoon Lagoon. Does anyone know what this building is?

Thanks,
Shelley

If we are thinking of the same building then it would be the Team Disney building.

From the Wiki:
Team Disney Orlando in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, is the administrative headquarters of the Walt Disney World Resort. It opened in 1991 and is three times larger than the Team Disney Anaheim building. Designed by architect Arata Isozaki, it sits across from Downtown Disney near the Walt Disney World Casting Center. It claims to hold the largest sundial in the world. It is home to Finance, Accounting, Business Insight & Improvement, and Legal departments. The building also features large silhouettes of the dwarves from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the front entrance of the building. This building was featured in a Thunder in Paradise episode as the location where a laser meant to sabotage a space shuttle mission by the hands of terrorists.

You can go into the Team Disney building. Go on a day when there is plenty of sunshine, You can go into the sundial, which is the world's largest accurate working sundial. Th building is available Monday to Friday during normal business hours.

Thanks. I was thinking it was some sort of Admin Building but your info was quite helpful.
