Reply to comment by wickethewok in TIL that Walt Disney World began as "The Florida Project". Dummy corporations were used, by Walt Disney Productions, to buy up 27,000 acres of land to avoid bursts of land speculation in the Orlando area. Early rumors assumed possible development by NASA, Ford, the Rockefellers, and Howard Hughes. by jdward01

Not many destination holiday locations with abundant sunshine, Interstate access and cheap land to be found in moderate climates.
