The cities of Lake Buena Vista, Florida and Bay Lake, Florida are located in southwest Orange County. The cities were created by a special act of the Florida legislature in order to give the Walt Disney Company control over the land which was to become Walt Disney World. The cities are thus controlled via their government arm, the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The cities themselves are not marked however you know you're on Disney property due to the colorful road signage as well as the unique street signs which are wider than standard street signs elsewhere. They are green with white lettering. All 4 theme parks are actually in Bay Lake; Downtown Disney and the hotels along Hotel Plaza Blvd. are in Lake Buena Vista.
