Can you fill us in on the rumors?

Kurt,

This is some of what I See. Remember it is all speculation and I have NO proof to back it up. Read these press releases. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070104/20070104005669.html?.v=1

They clearly say that Disney will be opening new Parks to be announces in 2007. Smaller Parks that will be located in areas Disney feels they can Make Money in and draw Turism from all over the World. probably High end markets preferred.
The new Airport is the first of its kind ( security )and the first one built in 20 years. St Joe has all the developable land around the Airport. But just to the north is 55,000 acres or 86 sq miles controlled by Northern Trust Co. I have heard rumors for years that Disney and Knight Ridder the owner of the land controlled by Northern Trust have had some type of option to buy. This Land is beautiful with the nicest lakes I have ever seen.

I was sent this, how can they print this.

I will post more later.

This statement from A1 Realty seems a little interesting.

"The new Panama City Bay County International Airport just broke ground with 12,000 new employees"

I hear that the 6000 acres on the Bay Co side went to contract last week. I did not hear who with. Two access colverts were just installed at the corners of Hwy 20 and 77, maybe for timber removal but it just happened days ago.
Just like Sowal, this land is gorgous with white sand beaches and spring fed lakes. The land has great elevations with small hills and bluffs overlooking the lakes. We have No amusement Parks of any larger size for the 8+ million visitors we get in this area. Numerous Disney chat boards and boards like Sowal have run with rumor over the years. Surely others on this board have heard this rumor.,

One of the listing states:

"Disney has just purchased 55,000 acres between Panama City Beach and Bonifay and plans a 5-Village Development there".

The same one that said that the new airport has broken ground already.

No doubt that A1 Realty Co is unethical in printing this and I dont understand how they can do this. It does however line up with what I have heard over the years and we will soon see what happens. Here is a simular quote found on a Disney Board from 2 years ago. It can be found on other boards as well. True these rumors fly around other places like Texas NC ect. Click around on Baypa.net and look at the activity around Hwy 20 and 77. Creek 77 LLC, LAND0 HOLDINGS LLC, 20-20 HOLDINGS, LLC , Northern Trust, all with the same address ( 50 SOUTH LA SALLE ST.
#M-10;
CHICAGO, IL 60675 802 )

What better place to put a Minny Disney than right next to a new International Airport in the most beautiful part of Florida. Its Just a rumor but its one I think is true. Time will tell.

Panhandle Property
I have heard through our local rumor mill, that Disney just purchased 55,000 acres in the Panhandle of Florida. I assume it would not be for a park because people pass through or w/i 150 miles of this area on the way to WDW. Has anyone but me heard anything about this? I just wonder if it could be another "Celebration!?"

More than once, and I have posted on SoWal regarding it, seeing if anyone else could verify.

One thing can be said for certain....if they put a Mini-Disney and an International Airport in the "most beautiful part of Florida" it won't be any longer.
