The windows on Main Street reveal an interesting story behind how this iconic theme park came to be.With a mind to build a new theme park in Orlando, Florida, Walt Disney began buying up land in the area. The way he went about it was very “under the radar.” Expecting that the price of land in Florida would skyrocket once the public caught on to his plan to build his next big theme park there, in 1965, Walt Disney purchased the land under several pseudonyms. True to form, Walt had some fun naming these companies. the names he picked hinted at his plans. Say this out loud: “M.T. Lott Real Estate Investments.” Late June that same year, the Orlando Sentinel reported that over 27,000 acres had been bought. They couldn't confirm a buyer, but Orlando Sentinel reporter Emily Bavar had a hunch that Disney was behind the purchase after her trip to Disney's Burbank offices in Disneyland. Bavar asked Walt if he was behind the purchase. Despite meticulous planning and coordination, Disney's reaction gave himself away. The Sentinel reporter described that he “looked like I had thrown a bucket of water in his face” before denying the claim. In October 1965, Bavar released her story. After that news broke, the price of land skyrocketed by 1,000%! Disney bought his first acre of land in Florida for Walt Disney World for $80.00. His last acre cost $80,000.00.
