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

    Laughable is correct indeed. I’ve been laughing since I read that post/doc. One of my favorite parts: The bill will have an indeterminate fiscal impact on those local general purpose governments that will assume the assets and indebtedness of an independent special district dissolved by the bill.

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

    If they are considering going the 1a retaliation route, I wonder if they might remain completely silent in the press for as long as possible for the purposes of arguing in court that their speech was indeed curtailed due to fears of additional retribution by the government. No public statement...

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

    Q1: You have every right to be upset and to work to elect different representatives who will pass different laws... if you live in Florida. If you don’t live in Florida, what does losing RCID really do to you? Beyond signage as you drive the tesla down I4, why do you care? A1: I live in...

    Stop what? And who exactly are you quoting there? I couldn’t find a post making that statement.

    Ahh, the good old days… or as one of my old leaders liked to point out, “a lot of people forget that the good old days weren’t always so good.”

    Agreed. My wife has been an elementary school teacher for 18 years. I am grateful that we do not live in Florida.

    Thanks for your honest answer. Equating that to a fire that needs to be put out…Just…wow.

    C’mon, conforming an entire K-12 education system so as not to not conflict with the opinions of EVERY child’s parents is easy. ;)

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

    I too wonder if that is where this will eventually end up. If TWDC had a buyer that would meet their price, I suspect they would take it in a heartbeat. It’s something that has been entertained in the C-Suite previously, it would be foolish to think it wouldn’t ever be in the future in my...

    I wonder if this will bring the idea of spinning off the parks, or at least WDW, back into the fold again. Well said. The brief that @flynnibus shared last night highlights many of the positive impacts of RCID to the State beginning on page 29...

    Why is someone with green hair and piercings who works at Hot Topic a creep?

    Understanding Why Disney's Magical Express Is Ending

    Given the increased traffic on property over the past decade or so you would think TDO would want to decrease not increase congestion. I imagine more rental and ride-share vehicles driving to/from and on property would have an environmental impact as well.

    Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

    I just got my first dose of Pfizer a few hours ago as a result of excess doses where my buddy’s wife was administering shots today. They had roughly 40 no shows out of 400 appointments so my buddy called and said to head over ASAP. I was the final dose of the day as they were closing up. My wife...

    News City Works Eatery and Pour House coming to Disney Springs in 2019

    Definitely typical bar food for sure. Their impossible burger is usually what I go with when I go to the one near me. I’m actually meeting an old colleague there for lunch today and will likely get that. Side note, the best impossible burger I’ve had to date was at Nomad Lounge in AK. Excellent...

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I didn’t say it was. I was commenting on the stance that turning people away is not a viable option. And not everyone had a positive guest experience, which was a result of TDO saying one thing and doing another.

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    People are acting like crowd and traffic control is some new phenomena and is impossible. Contrary to popular belief, turning cars away will not turn into a disaster. It happens every summer with every large-scale music festival. Cars and people who arrive early get turned away and all is fine.
