Crossroads Shopping Center

So the state of Florida spends $198 million of taxpayer money to use eminent domain to purchase private land to build a road to another private business. Eminent domain is not supposed to be used for private interests. :(

I guess Disney wins two ways, it gets a new entrance road and it eliminates nearby off-site restaurant options.

That's not cool! WDW should be accessible for all. For a good number of folks a trip to WDW is a major undertaking so offsite options like lodging and food shouldn't be hindered. I don't know the whole story, but I guess what's done is done? I'm sure the state is a force to recon with.
