Reply to 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
I learned recently their first choice was near New Orleans, but as soon as officials got wind of it it, they started demanding more and more fees. That might explain some of the secrecy.

It's still nice. 405 is only a minor inconvenience, it sucks more if you're in Bothell or even further out. Traffic on surface streets hasn't returned to pre-pandemic levels. Best part is all the lakefront parks! And an awesome restaurant like Cafe Juanita doesn't hurt.
