Has anyone heard of Disney making a park just north of Mckinney TX (which is a sub of Dallas) we have been hearing some rumors around this area. Just wondering if anyone else has heard anything like this????

We have heard that Disney has some land already? I don't know for sure? What do you all think? :confused3
 
hi,
i have heard several rumors about disney owning land or buying land all over.you'll have to wait and see.several years ago there was a hugh rumor here in nyc that disney had and was buying land in coney island.news channels even ran the story.they had pics of men in suits and construction guys taken surveys of land and reported they were disney employed.that was 15 years ago and to this day still nothing.just about every brooklyn person was talking about it then.it seemed very real,i mean come on it was reported on the news so it must be real.while i do hope it does happen, to see disney build a new park anywhere in the us would be great,you'll have to wait and see.
 
There have been numerous rumors over the years about Disney buying land in various parts or Texas. At one time, a student in Texas even had a Web site tracking the various rumors. I think somebody on this board once wrote that if all the rumors were true, Disney would own the whole state of Texas by now.

The current philosophy of The Walt Disney Company seems to be that the Disney theme park business in the United States is mature, and that the real growth opportunities are overseas. But there's always a possibility that that view will change some day, or that Disney will surprise us.

If Disney ever decides that a third Disney resort complex in United Staes is a viable business proposition, then Texas would be a logical choice. Texas will have a population of close to 25 million by 2010, and that population will continue to grow. There are parts of Texas where the climate is really no worse than Orlando. With Disney currently in the East and in the West, Texas represents the middle of the country. Also Texas is a good location from which to serve visitors from Mexico.

If Disney ever actually buys land in Texas, it won't be a secret very long. It will be on the front pages of newspapers, just as Disney's America in Virginia was big news. Disney would undoubtedly ask for all sorts of special legislation and tax breaks after acquiring land (or options on land), before proceeding with anything like a Texas Disneyland Resort.
 
A coworker said last year that she heard on the news that Disney purchased some land around Magnolia TX. My cousin who lives in Magnolia said that they talked about it at their town meetings. That was 8 months ago. I guess it is just a rumor. :( I would love it if there was a Disney park in Texas that way I can spend all my time there! :goodvibes
 

I live about 20 miles from McKinney and havent seen or heard anything on the local news or newspaper. I can't imagine them wanting to put something up here but then again, I couldnt see Gaylord building a huge resort here but they did(Gaylord Texan).
I could maybe see something down in the Houston area.
If it happens it happens, if it doesnt, well, maybe the Disney bus drivers will tell us the reason why it failed to pan out.
 
I would imagine that if Disney ever built in Texas that they would do so close to Houston where the climate is much like Florida's. Dallas is a bit too chilly in the winter and too hot in the summer IMO.
 
I had also heard about Houston also but this guy said that it was considered to high of a risk area ( don't know what that ment for sure?) he said that they think they would get better traffic flow in this area and better tax brakes? But to tell you the truth I don't know if Disney really could afford to build another one in the States? But I guess we will see!! Maybe later down the road we might see! LOL :goodvibes
 
I don't know what he could mean by risk area? Tax breaks should be similar since it would have to be built outside of city limits in the country.
