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

And to think the property in Orlando is actually 4 theme parks and 2 water parks. They still have enough land to triple what they've already built.
