Area previously used for Disney's Private Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) airport. Labeled as "Lake Buena Vista STOL Airport" (DWS) on sectional charts in the early 1970s. The approximately 2000 x 100 foot runway was in use from 1971-1975.

No longer used as an airfield. By 1982 the elevated monorail to Epcot adjacent to the strip made its use as a landing site problematic. Now used as a bus staging area and sometimes for staging and storage of large bulk items such as containers.
