Walt Disney World ‘Flamingo Crossings’

Disney Selling Parcels in Flamingo Crossings Project.
Flamingo Crossings will be developed on resort's western edge.

Private developers and merchants will be able to build, run and own small restaurants, a grocery store, service and retail shops, and several "value"-oriented hotels and motels on the western edge of Walt Disney World later this decade as part of the giant resort's next development.

Disney World's land-development company, Buena Vista Land Co., said Tuesday it has begun offering parcels for sale and development within Flamingo Crossings, the 450-acre lodging-and-shopping district it announced last winter.
