Origis Energy USA announced the 270-acre project Tuesday for the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
The facility along State Road 429 will have more than 500,000 solar panel modules. 
Disney already has one solar farm in the shape of Mickey Mouse, which helps power the park and hotels.
The shape of the newest solar farm is unknown.

The Orlando Utilities Commission unveiled its solar farm last year in Orange County.
The Kenneth P. Ksionek Community Solar Farm -- the county's largest solar array -- was built at the Stanton Energy Center, near Innovation Way and South Alafaya Trail.
By 2030, the city of Orlando aims to have all municipal electricity come from renewable sources.
