I was reading up on Walt Disney at Rotten.com and came across this:
From Rotten.com:
The property was so immense that there were no neighbors to complain about loud fireworks or traffic snarls. Additionally, the state of Florida basically granted Walt carte blanche to do whatever he felt like. They even granted him the legal authority to construct and maintain both an airport and a nuclear powerplant at any time in the future. (This blanket preapproval has yet to be exercised.)
I know alot of you are going to ***** and whine about it being from Rotten.com, so I'll say this: The Rotten.com Library doesn't lie.

What the hell would Disney need a nuclear power plant for?
-
To make electricity to power the park with?
I'm guessing they thought it'd keep expanding until it was of such a collosal size that it'd be too uneconomical to feed it from the main grid.

Yeesh, only in America...

The power the giant robosuit Walts head will be placed in once it's unthawed.

Apparently the head-freeze thing is just an urban legend.
And they probably thought that by the time Walt could build a reactor they'd be common-place, what with all those hover-cars and moon-shuttles of the distant future (1990) and their internal nuke-reactors.

yeah, sure, that's what they said about El Chupacabra, and Sasquatch

Pfff. Chupacabra is just some drunk Welshman indulging his sexual fetishes.

In latin america, the Chupacabra is the bomb. It's their big foot.
Regarding the walt disney thing: What's the big deal? The State of Florida saw it as a tourist attraction (they still do, obviously) that would generate huge revenues for the state. Based on that, an airport would only help in getting the tourists here. And having Disney build and fund it, would mean less deficit for the state.
The powerplant thing is just like anOn said.

The thought of the Walt Disney corporation with nuclear power is somewhat chilling. Especially given their puritan happy village (or whatever the hell it's called) in Florida......
