Overview
- The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District published revised Land Development Regulations on July 23, 2026 to align regulatory detail with its 2045 Comprehensive Plan and prepare rules needed if future projects move forward.
- The 2045 plan continues to allow one additional major theme park and two minor parks, and the filings estimate roughly 850 acres would be required to accommodate those parks while noting there are no active plans under review.
- The LDR updates define development maximums, projected land area through 2045 and service thresholds for water, wastewater and solid waste so roads, utilities and public services would meet demand if new construction is proposed.
- The plan names specific Walt Disney World areas as suitable for future development, highlights environmental constraints such as the Reedy Creek floodplain, and projects that about half of the district will remain undeveloped.
- The filings add standards for Floating Solar Facilities and note Disney’s four solar projects can cover up to 100% of daytime resort power, tying expansion planning to clean‑energy options and regulatory readiness ahead of a CFTOD board discussion on July 24.
