The proposed site for Disney's Mediterranean Resort.
The resort would have been located between the Transportation and Ticket Center and Disney's Contemporary Resort near the aqueduct. It was originally intended that an earlier un-built resort, Disney's Venetian Resort, would have opened on the same site in 1974. However, due to WED Enterprises establishing a Florida onsite office in that year, subsequent designs were later weeded out in 1981 and WED Designers opted on the Mediterranean theme (with WED Intern Program Architectural input), that was then chosen by WED Enterprises designers in their Glendale CA offices.
On April 28, 2010, it was discovered that a portion of the land where the Mediterranean Resort was to have been constructed was cleared once again. The land was cleared for the purpose of improving lines of sight for the Walt Disney World Monorail System.
