Was walt disney world in florida built on wet lands plz tell?

Answer 1

It was built in the Florida swamplands. If you're interested in the construction of the park you should watch Modern Marvels: Walt Disney World. It has video footage of the land when Walt Disney first purchased it, and it shows how they "magically" tranformed such an area into the Magic Kingdom and eventually the rest of the Walt Disney World Resort.

Wikipedia has plenty of information about the development of Walt Disney World...

Answer 2

History of the World, Part V
Transforming the Land

Swamps. Lots and lots of swamps. And lots of trees. And a water table just below ground level. And a weed-infested lake. Turn it into the “Vacation Kingdom of the World.” Doesn't sound like an easy task, does it? But that's what the Imagineers faced when they started site preparations to turn Disney's 43 square miles of land in Florida into Walt Disney World.

Crews built 47 miles of canals and 22 miles of levees. They installed 24 water control structures—double-ballasted, non-powered flow control gates that could regulate themselves without intervention. They built the canals not in grids, as was customary at the time, but conformed them to the natural landscape to look like rivers and streams, a choice championed by John Hench.

Work also began on Bay Lake. The 406-acre lake was choked with weeds and algae, which were so thick that the water was opaque, even at the surface. An adjacent 185 acres of wetlands were deemed unusable, so they decided to dredge it and create another body of water to extend Bay Lake, creating Seven Seas Lagoon. They built a water bridge to connect the two bodies of water.
