Disney has filed plans for a 21-acre shopping center that will stretch down World Drive from Celebration Boulevard to I-4. Plans show 11 retail buildings with plenty of parking. The only details made public is that one of the largest parcels is earmarked for a neighborhood grocer. Publix is at Water Tower Shops at the other of Celebration, but residents living in the newer developments don't have a lot of options within walking distance. This should change things. It should provide an interesting dynamic with Celebration High School just across the street.
Disney's development arm hopes to start building the retail strip in January, 2017. Residents can now start assembling their personal wish lists of desired tenants.
