Another one bites the dust - or will soon anyway

Disneyland has purchased 11 acres of land to provide a parking lot for employees. The purchased land now houses the Anaheim RV Village - one of the closest RV Parks to the Magic Kingdom. This RV park has been in this location for many years. I stayed there for 3 months while my house was under construction in 1987. See the story here:

    Not as long as y'all keep paying those exorbitant fees.

    You can't put a price tag on memories. If you did, we wouldn't have any.

    It is a private campground so Disney does not collect any revenue from it. I am surprised they can afford to buy a viable business just for the land. I guess the economy is not that bad after all :) At least not for the mouse.

    Based upon the pricing of a one day pass I would think they have enough money to do whatever they want.

    If Disneyworld expands another 20 miles in every direction, it will be bigger than the state of Florida! :)

    Reminds me of that old song, "Paved Paradise and put up a Parking Lot".
