Disney Buys land east of Baton Rouge ,Louisiana

[disneydad78]

I heard that Disney has bought 3000 acres in livingston parish, east of Baton Rouge Louisiana. There was some articles the the newspapers and was wondering if any has heard this. I hear that Disney has said that they want to buy another 2000 making it a total of 5000 acres. What I have heard is because Louisiana has given the movie industry LARGE tax breaks,, that Disney wanted to build a movie complex,, maybe something like a downtown DiSNEY and Boardwalk ,,Has anyone else heard of this,,or maybe Im b ehind on the time.??

Just subscribing...I am sure Julie and Corey know whether or not this is a rumor or if something is going on.

The rumor has gone on about darn near every city in the U.S. I wouldnt go betting any big money that this happened or will happen

Being a former Baton Rouge dweller, here is the local papers website. They would surely (don't call me shirley) report it.

I apologize....I missed this original thread.

Drake is correct.....this rumor has hit Tennissee, Missouri.....you name it.

Until you see them building a castle near Baton Rouge....I wouldnt wager on this.

I am currently in negotiations with Disney for land in Ohio for building a new theme park complex... which is to say, I called and told them my back yard is for sale if they would like to build a castle.

Louisiana has been hyping various incarnations of this story the past couple years, something about a study they commissioned for park feasibility... large tracks of land with mysterious buyers.

I'll find Hoffa before Disney builds in Louisiana. And I am not really looking that hard for Hoffa.
