    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    The Cocoa/Port Canaveral station is a go. It's going to be on US-1 by 528 in Cocoa right where the railway merges onto the Florida East Coast Railway from the new track between the Orlando airport and US-1. It means a quick hop over Merritt Island to get to the cruise ships in Port Canaveral...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Disney is a wealthy company. They are not hiring an army of $2000 per hour attorneys to champion the first amendment.

    Rumor Pecos Bills to be rethemed?

    They going to do something like "Tiana's Palace" in Disneyland with Pecos Bill? French Market is not as different as Pecos Bills is though.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    The interchange is still horrible, between there and Champions Gate it backs up badly every day, multiple times and there is no real alternate routes to get over west to US 17.
