Walt Disney Runway
A work in progress airport. | The reenvisioned Walt Disney Runway, you can now officially depart from Walt Disney World and arrive in style.
The Walt Disney Runway or more commonly known as the Walt Disney Airport is a recreation project. Reenvisioned in my own eyes of what it could have been if it still existed though still in the original state of being a small airport.
The airport was never large, with only enough stand space to accommodate four aircraft at a time; no hangar space was ever built. When it was active it accommodated smaller commuter airliners that had STOL capabilities and could operate from airfields with short runways. It is no longer registered as an active airport by the FAA, ICAO and IATA and as of December 2017 serves Walt Disney World as a parking and storage lot. The runway to this day is fully intact and seen by motorists traveling along World Drive toward the Ticket Center, as well as by passengers on the monorail.
Reenvisioned Runway
The Walt Disney Runway is reenvisioned in which you can both depart and arrive onto the runway. Giving the player the option to fly into Disney World in their own aircraft or take off from Disney World. The runway features small runway lights though it’s not recommended to fly at night due to lack of visibility and fog that Orlando gets occasionally.
If this runway existed today, I could imagine that this would normally get used for Club 33 members where they have their own airport to travel in and out from to avoid traffic and highways.
Runway/Airport:
Project Name: Project 33
ICAO: WDRW
IATA: WDA
Runway: 33 & 15
33 is an Easter Egg for Club 33.
2 taxiway paths
1 exiting and 1 entering the runway
4 small GA stands with taxi-pushback/ground crew.
1 helicopter pad
Other added stuff:
2 windsocks, one near GA and another by the helicopter pad.
Small terminal building to handle passengers and hangers to store runway equipment, vehicles and the Disney airplanes.
Add-ons:
This airport goes along great with the Disney Plane.
Known Issues:
At night the game has autogenerated lights that appear above the runway space. No idea how to get rid of them. Sadly flying in at the airport at night currently ruins the immersion. Until the developers give us the ability to get rid of these lights via the SDK, this will stay an on-going issue.
