CPs better like spicy nuggs or else Wendy’s is a major downgrade from Chick-fil-a.

CPs better like spicy nuggs or else Wendy’s is a major downgrade from Chick-fil-a.

There's a Chick-fil-a a few minutes down the road off Disney property.

Many new tenants announced for Flamingo Crossing courtesy of Orlando Business Journal. Here are the new tenants announced:

• Wendy’s
• Five Below
• Domino’s
• Ellie Lou’s Brews & BBQ
• Firehouse Sub
• Persimmon Hollow Brewing Co.
• Pieology Pizzeria
• Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ
• UPS store

"These brands will join a stellar lineup of previously announced shops and restaurants including Target, which will serve as the primary anchor, PDQ, Five Guys, Ben & Jerry’s and Dunkin’. Walgreens is also currently under construction on an outparcel," said Disney, via a release.

A timeline for the new shops was not included, but many other amenities — including the Target — have been slated to be done by 2021, based on past reports.
The development will be home to several hotels — totaling about 1,750 rooms — that are completed or under development, including:

• SpringHill Suites by Marriott and TownePlace Suites by Marriott, which are both open and operating.
• Four additional resorts under construction, including Fairfield and Residence Inn by Marriott, and Homewood Suites and Home2 Suites by Hilton. These properties are expected to be operating by next year.
• These hotels remain under development: Hampton by Hilton scheduled to be completed later in 2021.

All will do well when the captive audience of CPs arrives in 2022 just as they are opening, with CPs as primary customers and the backbone of their workforce.

I've always been team "turn Flamingo Crossings into subsidized housing available for all cast in addition to CP Housing," but I'll take "CP Housing+Hotels+Other Apts"

Hard to believe this is a project announced in 2008 and actually made its way through development hell to be built. The year 2008 obviously brought on the great recession, which is what initially killed this project dead in its tracks for a solid decade.

I don't think it was until around 2017 or 2018 when they went back to the drawing board and realized this area would be a good area to house the CP's, who would provide a constant flow of people in the area who always need things, making the shopping plaza a viable strategy again. It doesn't hurt that Flamingo Crossings isn't far from many locals, either.

Wow, Disney's fifth gate is a bit different than I thought it would be, but I don't hate a Target E-Ticket

It comes with the gift shop built right in and not at extortion prices.
