The Walt Disney Runway or more commonly known as the Walt Disney Airport (KDWS) 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
This project was created on August 17th, 2020 when Microsoft Flight Simulator was released officially. I've been working on this project since then. 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, a very VIP experience. 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. It's remarkable how things could have turned if the Monorail didn't exist. Who knows with Walt's dream of making Disney a city to live in, this could have turned into an International Airport like JFK or LAX.

Add-ons:
- This airport goes along great with the King Air 350i & TBM 930 Disney Planes.
- New to Walt Disney World? Download the Disney Tour Flight Plan enjoy a tour of all the theme parks, water parks and downtown.
----
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.
----
Airplane Notes:
- The King Air 350i is a big boy for this runway. You will need to get a rolling start from the taxiway near the helicopter pad. If not, you won't have enough speed to take off, you'll just stall the aircraft.
