future he had planned.<\/p>\n<p>Like any major city, it was to include a large airport to accommodate the many tourists.<\/p>\n<p>Although plans changed after Walt\u2019s death, the idea of having a landing strip remained.<\/p>\n<p>For many years, this airstrip\u2014located near the Transportation and Ticket Center\u2014was actually used by small private jets transporting VIPs and Disney executives.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, however, it has been <strong>abandoned<\/strong> and is now used as a container storage area.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2949
