While Walt Disney World did build and operate a "short takeoff and landing" airstrip; I believe you're referring to the "international airport" on the initial proposal drawings. When McCoy Air Force Base (nee Pinecastle Army Air Field/AFB) was identified for closure in 1973, it began transitioning into a commercial airport. Orlando International Airport, as it's known today still utilizes the MCO abbreviation. With the emergence of MCO, the need of a private international airport became superfluous.

 

When the Florida State Legislature established the Reedy Creek Improvement District (Disney's defacto "monarchy" as Walt asked for), Disney was also granted permission to build and operate a nuclear power plant on site.
