Disney Buys Land for Future Resort Hotel at National Harbor



Walt Disney Co. has bought a 15-acre parcel at Prince George's County's sprawling National Harbor development, a shot in the arm for a project that opened with big ambitions a year ago, only to run headfirst into one of the sharpest economic declines in decades.

Disney plans to build a 500-room hotel resort on the parcel, providing another anchor for a 300-acre venture that seeks to rival the District as a conference and convention destination. National Harbor already includes six hotels; more than a dozen restaurants; and a giant conference center run by Gaylord Entertainment, owner of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

There's some photos of Jay Rasulo smirking around the site if you download the .zip from the "Learn More" link on the homepage above. Looks like a nice development, if a little empty and not very Disney right now.

Looks like DIsney have now scrapped this plan.
