....and non stop construction.I really need to pick up an move to Orlando. The next 5 years or so are going to be a lot of fun in the theme park world.
Since Pooh becomes public domain in 2021, I sincerely hope that Universal needles Disney at least a bit and leaks this as "Project Hundred Acre Wood" (not an actual Winnie the Pooh theme park, though - because who wants that?).
Nope - that standard applies to works created on or after January 1, 1978. The first collection of Winnie the Pooh stories was published in 1926. Current copyright term (thanks to several extensions to help his pal, Mickey) for works published before 1978 is 95 years from first publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter (subject to a number of issues regarding renewals and protection secured prior to 1978). That puts the date in 2021. IIRC, there was discussion at the time of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act that, while the legislation was focused on extending copyright protection for Mickey, the immediate beneficiary was Pooh (who was set to move into public domain in late 2001 and before Mickey). Since the Sonny Bono Act added 20 years, that also puts us in 2021 (Mickey is up in 2024).2026, Pooh wasn't a "work for hire," so it's 70 years after A.A. Milne's passing. But Disney will have successfully lobbied for an extension long before then.
Looking at a map, does anyone know where this parcel actually is? ........
*** My own update ***
Ok. It adds to the 475 acres they bought early in 2016. So yeah, next to Lockheed Martin on the far side of Sand Lake from their other properties. But I also see how it gives them good access to that new parcel. Seems like there is more land there that can be bought if they have the will. Definitely looks like a new gate given the size and position. Wonder how long it will be before a concept is floated.

A good map.
Looking at a map, does anyone know where this parcel actually is? Sand Lake Road does not connect to any developed Universal property, at least as far as I know. It is about a mile, as the crow flies, from CityWalk and on the other side of I4 somewhere in the triangle between the Turnpike and I4. I'm guessing more toward the Turnpike on the far side of the Lockheed Martin property?

It's not as much fun when you live there...especially when you see Christmas lights wrapped around the palmetto trees..

Oh man, Super Nintendo world is coming, and I am going to start adding Universal to my trips for the first time in decades.
I have heard plans have changed since those leaked blue prints.Based on leaked docs, Nintendo World is going in space by ET where the Fivel/Woody/Animal actors stage is currently.
