It was more so to keep the tourist traps and cheep motels out of site or at arms length, so to speak. Also, when Orlando sentinel broke the story, it was Disney buying up land the surrounding properties quadrupled in price.

The thing that bothers me already is hes very paranoid of cell phones and security but drives a Tesla model x a car that tracks you probably more than any other car on the planet.

Reply to comment by Brynmaer in NFL players, especially former linemen, had fewer disease-free years and earlier high blood pressure and diabetes diagnoses. Two age-related diseases, arthritis and dementia, were also more commonly found in former football players than in other men of the same age. by Wagamaga
Think biggest difference between other kabor intensive jobs and NFL lineman would be the eating habbits. General laborers arent trying to maintain a specific weight. Where lineman are usually consuming massive amounts of calories to maintain their playing weight. You see all the time a retired lineman a year or 2 after retirement and they have lost a significant amount of weight and its simply from they don't eat as much as they used to. I remember one story where a team wanted a tackle to gain 10 pounds. He said he would eat something over 7k calories. Late night snack would be a gallon of ice cream and he lost a half a pound over a week of training camp.

And to think the property in Orlando is actually 4 theme parks and 2 water parks. They still have enough land to triple what they've already built.
