The Walt Disney Company’s campus in Lake Nona, Florida is coming closer to fruition. Disney has reportedly purchased approximately 60 acres of land in southeast Orlando for the project, according to Jack Witthaus of the Orlando Business Journal.
According to records from Orange County, a Disney-connected entity, Dynamic Campus LLC, made the purchase from Lake Nona Land Co. LLC, which is connected to Lake Nona developer Tavistock Development Co. for about $46 million, approximately $766,666 per acre. Neither Disney nor Tavistock have made a statement concerning the purchase.
Disney confirmed the Lake Nona campus back in July, where 2,000 jobs will be relocated from California, less than 5% of Disney’s total jobs in the state. Disney is expected to invest $864 million into the campus, which could possibly include an age-restricted community within Sunbridge, alleviating concerns about Disney’s move adversely affecting the Orlando housing market. Construction on the office building is expected to finalize in November 2022.

Welcome to Lake Nona. We’ve got it all here for you, even less traffic,no smog checks, lower registration, cheaper gas prices …and we’re less than 30 minutes from Disney and about 44 minutes in either direction for a beach.
If people realized how many pedophiles work at Disney they wouldn’t be so quick to take their kids. I never do because I see every week at least 5 employees get caught in local human trafficking stings for mainly pedophilia. Instead of buying new land to expand they should be setting up funding for all the victims affected by their dirty little publicly ignored secret.
Glad the loss of my job for 23 years here could provide more financing so someone from California could take it. We worked while California was closed and Disney World bank rolled all the other parks. This is how we got repaid. Chapek is the devil and Josh D’amaro is a puppet with a nose that grows.
