Parks Game - Part 13 - Still PLAYING!

[outlander]

I'll have to dig deep into my vast vault of Disney knowledge to say -- none, it's not built with stone at all.

So very happy to see this pop up today -- I've missed it!

But...I worked so hard to fabricate that question!

Good to see you cabanafrau!

Let's get some REAL questions going! (haha...wow...I'm killing myself today )

 

[outlander]

Zip, zilch, nada, not a single solitary stone!

Welcome CountryTink! Good to have you here!

Well, this is about as real a question as I can come up with at the moment. Guess my "vast vault of Disney knowledge" isn't.

Originally WDW had what was known as a STOLport. What was it used for for several years -- and what is it used for now?

 

[disneycruise05]

I know they've used the STOLport as a staging area for buses...but I'm not sure if that was a past use or the current one. It was originally used as an airport...a Short Take-Off and Landing port, actually. Disney envisioned a port for guests to travel directly to WDW, as opposed to MCO. I also believe the STOLport was built early enough that executives used it to fly into WDW during construction. I could be wrong, however.

So....final answer: the STOLport was used as an airport, then as a bus parking lot.

 

[cabanafrau]

Absolutely correct disneycruise! Your AAQ is ready for takeoff, please pick it up at the bus station.
