I want to see the Asian Resort that was part of WDW's early plans (I think the GF now occupies that location).
Just an FYI:
You are correct .
The GF now stands where the Aisian Resort was supposed to go.
Before the MK was even built plans were in place for 4 hotels to be on the monorail line.The Grand Floridian hotel is on the land that was set aside and dedicated to be the "Future" Asian Resort Hotel (A). The "Future"
Venetian (B) Resort was going to located between the Poly (5) and the Contemporary (8). A fifth hotel was going to build on a monorail spur which ended at the "Future" Persian Resort (C). That resort would be located just to east of the Mk and North of the Contemorary and would built with much of the hotel being on /over the water of Bay Lake. So even though the GF was not built until 18 years later a hotel was planned for that area at the same time the monorail was planned.
Do you think any of these hotels will be built?
I got this picture and my info from my"The story of Walt Disney World"
Commemory Edition Book 1971.

I really wish (JMHO) Disney built the Asian resort instead of the GF.
Have fun at Disney!
