Description

In the early 1960s, Walt Disney was looking to open a theme park on the East Coast. MacArthur (pictured) saw this as an opportunity for his new city and proposed land west of the Florida Turnpike, along PGA Boulevard. An agreement was reached, but the deal fell apart over control of the development surrounding the park.
