I guess I never realized it, but that's kind of what it already looks like. For some reason I thought the whole thing was pink, but those 'stones' have always been there. Orlando is my 'home' anyways, so that's probably why.

Disney buys more land

https://wdwnt.news/19010903

I am sure it is just for more water conservation and offset other land they want to use .... but also find it interesting it looks to be near a Sunrail station

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

No

Hmm, thought it was a play on the walls in front of the castle.

Oh well

I've been looking for just such a thing. Didn't want to do the Frozen one. Thought about renting a boat which like $380. Only 3 people in our party, wife, my son and myself. Son will be 10 at the time of the trip.
Wife will have a drink. I would have a few. I don't think my son will eat enough of what's there.

I would think the boat rental will be very popular for this purpose.
I’m renting the boat for my May trip to bid farewell to Illuminations. We’ll be celebrating my daughter’s college graduation and Illuminations is her favorite night show. She’s grown up with it. I’m sure we’ll both be crying through the whole thing.

Please help to educate me. If Disney wants to build additional things within it's existing property, they need to do water conservation elsewhere? Just trying to understand how all of this works. Thanks for your help!

Basically correct though the technicalities get really tricky as do the formulas for how big the offsets need to be. And if they are existing wetlands or reestablishing land as wetlands.

AT&T is looking to sell its 10% stake in Hulu as well as some other assets to raise $6-8 billion. Be interesting to see if Disney tries to pick that up as well as the majority they already own.
