Home to Disney World, Lake Buena Vista is a picturesque community that is situated on the edge of the Disney theme parks and is controlled by The Walt Disney Company. Founded in the 1960s, Walt Disney’s original plan for Lake Buena Vista included at least one futuristic living area, but was never built. This futuristic idea was later used at Epcot. Buena Vista is a Spanish phrase meaning “good view” and is appropriately applied to the town of Lake Buena Vista.

Lake Buena Vista’s mayor, business administrator, and city council are all chosen by and are employees of The Walt Disney Company. Separate from The Walt Disney Company is The Reedy Creek Improvement District, a publicly funded agency of the State of Florida that provides utilities to the residents of Lake Buena Vista.
