Celebration has its roots in the complicated real estate situation in which Disney has involved itself with Reedy Creek Improvement District. First, Disney was a takeover target in the early eighties in part because of the large amount of undeveloped land that it owned surrounding Disney World in Orlando, land now worth more than 10,000 times what Walt paid for it in the early 1960's. By creating a community of 10,000 acres of land and deannexing that land from the District, they provided themselves with protection from corporate raiders, provided the county government with a new set of taxpayers that both smoothed Disney's relationship with the county government and divested itself of residents whose status as Reedy Creek citizen would have made them eligible to vote on Reedy Creek issues, a situation that was unappealing to Disney (Pollen 59).
