The Reedy Creek Improvement District met today, discussing its long-term land use plan for the Walt Disney World Resort and the surrounding area.
Of note was the long-term land use plan which includes more hotel rooms, two additional minor theme parks (waterparks), and one additional major theme park.
The updated plan is expected to be released in February 2023, which will provide an interesting insight into future development possibilities at Walt Disney World.
Although the long-term land use plan has been updated, it should be noted that this does not mean that Disney will actually go ahead with any projects that make use of the assigned land.
Reedy Creek Improvement District oversees land use and environmental protections within the district, and provides essential public services. Within its boundaries are 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, 1 sports complex, 175 lane miles of roadway, 67 miles of waterway, the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, an environmental science laboratory where the continuity of water quality is monitored, an electric power-generating & distribution facility, a natural gas distribution system, water and wastewater collection & treatment facilities, a solid waste and recyclables collection & transfer system, plus over 40,000 hotel rooms and 100’s of restaurants and retail stores.
