Walt Disney World no longer has space for more parks without tearing something up. Before you say ye

A 5th Walt Disney World theme park has been a dream for many since Disney s Animal Kingdom opened in 1998. We are currently omni cancun hotel and villas cancun living through the longest drought without a new theme park at Walt Disney omni cancun hotel and villas cancun World in the resort s history: 16.5 years. As Walt Disney World reached its 40th anniversary omni cancun hotel and villas cancun in 2011, a new ten year plan for the growth of the resort was laid out, culminating in the 50th anniversary in 2021, which is sure to be viewed as the pinnacle theme park celebration in the company s history. Sure, Disneyland is the original and Walt s baby, but Walt Disney World was his last dream and has always been favored by management in the company for being the resort destination with the highest profits. This reasoning made it easy to believe rumors that a 5th theme park was one of the end goals of the ten year plan management devised for Orlando.
So, just a few days ago we told you about the groundbreaking finally taking place at Flamingo Crossings and why that seems to be important and indicative of larger plans for Walt Disney World in the next 8-10 years. Well, it seems it might be a good sign that a 5th park is coming, especially with some recent omni cancun hotel and villas cancun land purchases made by Disney in the surrounding area (hat tip to Screamscape to putting together some pieces of the story).
Disney owns 3000 total acres of land that are put aside for Flamingo Crossings project, located just outside of the colorful character borders of the Walt Disney World Resort on Western Way. 300 acres of this land seem to be getting some special attentions, a plot just behind the largest development pads for Flamingo Crossings. This plot may be home to Walt Disney World s 5th theme park.
Why does this plot make sense? A lot of the reasons are those we presented for Flamingo Crossings: 429 is empty and the other side of WDW property is overburdened. Also, building the 5th park here would entice more companies to get involved in Flamingo Crossings. Disney has had trouble selling the plots until recently, omni cancun hotel and villas cancun but maybe the recent hotel development deal with Marriott was struck because they know something omni cancun hotel and villas cancun we don t. One would assume Marriott was privy to this information before finally agreeing to build two hotels that will be the first tenants for the project. If Disney is telling possible investors that there will be a 5th park that their business can be steps away from, they are probably going to be much more likely to open up shop between Western Way and 429.
A lot of this is speculation at this point, but any big projects getting underway currently at Disney s Hollywood Studios would be completed by 2017-18 and we know that all of the additions to Disney Springs, Epcot (Frozen attraction), and Animal Kingdom will be opening omni cancun hotel and villas cancun between 2016 and 2017, so the Disney World construction calendar is pretty wide open for the 3 years leading up to the 50th anniversary.
Does all of this mean a 5th gate? Will the park be located in Flamingo Crossings? Will the borders of the Walt Disney World Resort expand west? There are certainly a lot of questions to answer and we re not even getting into what the 5th park would be yet
Tom has been regularly visiting the Walt Disney World® Resort from the time he was 4 months old. While he has made countless visits in the last 25 years, he did not become a truly active member in the Disney fan community until the summer of 2007, when he decided to launch the WDW News Today website and podcast. Tom has since become an Orlando-local omni cancun hotel and villas cancun and is a published author on Walt Disney World.
Too risky to invest that much money in that location. Even Six Flags struggled to maintain that property, because the profits were too low. That region would be ideal, but not that actual location. It s also in the wrong part of town
I know a 5th gate is a dream, and has been talked about by fans for some time. However, I do not see why Disney would do so, why not just continue to expand the current parks and provide updates/new attractions. Also since Marvel is out due to the contract with Universal, and I cannot see a Star Wars park going there either, we have to realize omni cancun hotel and villas cancun that any 5th gate needs to follow Disney s ideas of a story. Each park as a strong story involved with it, what story would they tell that would benefit from a whole park? Not sure that I can agree on this one. Although there would have to be something that would excite new companies to build in area, just not ready to believe it is a 5th gate.
The villains theme park rumor has been going around for at least 20 years, I doubt if Disney can or will build a 5th gate for one main reason: staffing. They can barely staff the parks they have now.
I d love to see them move EPCOT s Future World to another location and expand the World Showcase. EPCOT already seems like two completely different parks. As a kid, I HATED touring the countries, but enjoyed Future World. As an adult, I love the World Showcase, but FW does nothing for me. I m sure my vision will never come to fruition, but a girl can dream. : )
At first I thought that to be a wonderful option too, making omni cancun hotel and villas cancun a whole park of EPCOT´s Future World and MK´s Tomorrow Land and uniting them in a futuristic park. However, I came to the conclusion that those parts of the parks are still enjoyable because we think of them as kind of classic and know that most of the rides have many years and may be a little out of date now, but we are ok with it. Making a new park out of it would seem a little omni cancun hotel and villas cancun too out of a date, i guess does that make sense?
Does WDW really need another park? Maybe a different type of park that can eleviate some of the congestion at other parks and maybe something a little less expensive type? True, it has been over 17 years since AKP opened omni cancun hotel and villas cancun last but what about all the expansions that have happened since and are to come. There is available land at most of the other parks still for expansion purposes so I am not sure why another park would be necessary. But Disney Imagineers seem to always have interesting and awesome ideas up their sleeves. I wish I was an Imagineer because I have some techy stuff I would install throughout the parks and buses.
Alright you just made me feel old when you mentioned 50th anniversary. omni cancun hotel and villas cancun Marriott would definitely not just build a hotel somewhat off the beaten path so something is up and since Disney is involved then the writing is on the wall and only time will tell but in the meantime it is fun to guess what might transpire and become a reality.
The character rights omni cancun hotel and villas cancun now at Universal Orlando could probably be bought back (they have been renegotiated omni cancun hotel and villas cancun in the past) or traded for, like Disney did for Oswald. Especially in 6 years when the life of anything, ride wise, Marvel at Universal has reached it s useful life.
Can t do Marvel because of the Universal deal that preceded the purchase. Star Wars is probably going to be taking up the American Idol, Indiana Jones, Great Movie Ride area to tie it into Star Tours. So, either Villians or some type of thrill park is the only options.
On the service road between omni cancun hotel and villas cancun Avalon and 429, there is a sign for a housing development being built soon. They also repaved that road so it is better to travel on. Could it be the beginning of a housing area?
Am I seeing this correctly that this area is currently outside of the property? If so, then why would Disney build there when the current resort property can hold (and has reserved) four more parks Yes, the master plan for WDW is 8 parks Seems a little silly to go outside of the boarders if they have land set aside for four other parks But maybe I m reading this map wrong?
omni cancun hotel and villas cancun Walt Disney World no longer has space for more parks without tearing something up. Before you say yes they do they have all these square omni cancun hotel and villas cancun miles of property its all about space and location. If you do an overhead over the property you will see everything is spaced as to not conflict with another parks scenery. omni cancun hotel and villas cancun There is NO PLACE on the property left to do this because of #1 all the new hotels that Disney omni cancun hotel and villas cancun has built and #2 the 3 golf couses they have. If they are willing to tear up a golf course there is property, without it there is not.
A park of discontinued attractions. Mr. Toad, World of Motion, Skybuckets (or whatever omni cancun hotel and villas cancun the official name was), etc. Of course, it won t be and I know you can t build a future out of memories, but I sure miss some of my old friends.
While I d love to see the world grow Until EPCOT, omni cancun hotel and villas cancun DHS are as much full day experiences as MK I don t want an incomplete 5th gate. (I know expansion is happening but is it really enough to hit that mark? Still to be seen )
I highly doubt there will be a 5th park for Disney. The only park I could see Disney making to compete with everyone else is a thrill ride park like Islands of Adventure. That would have to be off property because the rides would need to eclipse the 200 foot mark and at that point beacons have to be placed on the rides for airplanes. This property is far enough away from the other parks that those rides would never been seen from the maximum heights at the other parks.
If a 5th park does happen, I would love to see something themed around Toontown, you could have areas for Toon Studios, omni cancun hotel and villas cancun Houses of the stars and more. It would give them a chance to use some of the classic animated characters that are not really suitable for the current parks. Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Roger Rabbit and more
There were rumors circulating years ago about the possibility of Disney s Coaster Kingdom omni cancun hotel and villas cancun and the creation of a thrill ride theme park. I can t imagine them doing a 5th park, but something along those lines would be smart to add competition up against Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Busch Gardens (even though it s an hour away).
I think it should be retro Disney, the old rides from Epcot and the other parks that had to make way for new attractions. Parents could introduce their kids to the rides they knew and loved when they first came to Disney.
When you sit down and think of it, the
