What did ever Texas do to deserve such a thing?

There have been rumors for years of Disney doing something in that area. I'll believe it when I see it.

There have been rumors for years of Disney doing something in almost every area. I think the only urban legend that hits more cities is the "My hometown is the #1 place to get hit by a nuclear bomb" one.

LOL. Them thar's fightin' words . I didn't say the biggest. Well maybe it's because we have so much more open land...and it's relatively inexpensive.

i think i remember hearing about this YEARS ago but haven't heard of anything surfacing yet. i live in Katy and i'm curious if anyone knows specifically where in Katy they bought the chunk of land.

I was actually being sympathetic toward Texas when I asked why the state did anything to deserve DisneyQuest.

DisneyQuest is a huge waste of money. One closed, another never started construction (I think), and the one at WDW is boring.

About Katy:

Looking Back
"In 1895 a group of farmers and merchants laid the plans for a town on the old San Felipe Trail. Out of the plains of the Brazos River Valley arose a community of churches and businesses. Now, some ninety years later, a small metropolis flourishes. Although Katy's population within the city limits is approximately 8,000, the surrounding Katy area subdivisions rival the population of some major cities creating one of the fastest growing areas in the United States.

Through it all the ethics of hard work, determination, honor and concern for your fellow man inherent in the founders of Katy, are still alive and well in Katy. Katy resonates with an atmosphere of caring which blends seamlessly with all of the advantages of a growing city replete with modern technology and an expanding job market."
Living in Katy
"Living in the Katy area means an escape from the hustle and bustle of Houston, the 4th largest city in the US. Katy offers the charm of a small town, or the sophistication of suburbia. Housing in Katy ranges from apartments and condominiums to large estate homes with acreage to enjoy and maintain horses - and others with championship golf courses as their backyard. Subdivisions abound with tennis courts, swimming pools, and endless amenities for their residents.

Apartments that cater to singles and families are plentiful and the taste of everyone's lifestyle can be met. Fully planned communities which feature areas of shopping centers, spacious plazas, and every convenience that enhances community living, leads the way to future growth in an exciting and efficient style. With so may styles and stages of housing available, no matter what the size of the checkbook, one can find living in Katy easy and affordable. Of course a residence in a community is only half of being a part of the life in that community. Katy has so much more to offer in its many places of worship, clubs and organizations to fit one's preference for a complete life style."

I am guessing Disney Vacation Club. Maybe a park too, but DVC seems pretty likely. There are lots of hotels in Katy, even if the population is low.
