LAKE BUENA VISTA (CBSMiami/AP) — Five months in the making, a very Disney solar panel array is now operational near the Walt Disney World Resort's EPCOT theme park.
The 48,000 solar panels are located on 22 acres and are shaped like the ears of the company's famous mouse. The facility is operated by Duke Energy which will sell the energy to Disney's private government, Reedy Creek Improvement District.
The energy will be used to power hotels along Hotel Plaza Boulevard, as well as the Four Seasons Resort.
