Well, I know countless members of the Republican party who think that DeSantis is a total clown and that Disney had every right to speak up for what they believe in. I guess the folks who I know - unlike the ones who you know - just choose to put the constitution, including the First Amendment, above their subjective personal beliefs.
I am happy to hear you are going to SeaWorld. I am a big fan of SeaWorld and my favorite is their Christmas season.I don’t think anyone who is focused on guest experience has a whole lot to do with this lawsuit. It’s possible that there could be an impact to guests if some bozosdecide to show up at WDW and make trouble, but that’s what security is for. Outside of that I don’t think guests will be impacted.
I have heard some people in my hood say they were reluctant to go to FL with all this going on (not really RCID directly, but more the book bannings and hostility towards certain groups all while making guns more prevalent), but in those cases they aren’t skipping WDW for Universal they are saying they are skipping the whole state. I will believe it when I see it, talk is cheap. I am planning a trip to Universal and Sea World this Summer and not WDW so I hope the crowds aren’t huge with everyone avoiding Disney.
Wait. So you think that a state government retaliating against a private business that operates theme parks is a situation that has nothing to do with Universal? Please tell me that you are not actually saying that.
Thank you for the detail, I've heard it brought up many times of contract law being an established part of the legal process. I expect them to add them to the complaint if such a bill came to be.
Good point. Someone correct me but it was the internal pressure that forced the Chapek “hostage tape” that then triggered DeSantis and the rest is history (or should I say the present with no end in sight)
Election was in 2022.
As do I.
You're conflating two distinct matters, at least as it pertains to my argument, which is that Disney's public stance was, and remains, frowned upon by vast swaths of the Republican party. Certainly one can disagree with Disney's stances while also disagreeing with the way that DeSantis responded to those stances, which is how most people I know, myself included, feel.
I don’t think this is true. Less than half the party identifies as MAGA Republicans and not everyone registered Republican supports DeSantis or his bill. I think polling around the original bill still had close to 1/3 of Republicans opposed and that was when it was only grades K-3. Some who supported it were not happy it got extended through grade 12.
Tell him that.
Haven’t been in years. We got tickets to Discovery Cove and they come with SeaWorld tickets too. My kids were too small for coasters last time we went so it will be a different experience.
They all are.
The fight between Disney and DeSantis is their fight. Not Universal’s
There is zero interest for any other company to jump in front of that train. Heck, even Iger regrets getting dragged into the battle over RCID:

Discovery cove sounds great! I have never been there. Have fun!
Busch parks employees are probably the worst I've experienced, we had BGT APs for a year and then promptly let them lapse. Rudest employees and I also had one employee try to get me to give him a tip when he tried to get me to steal some soda by saying it was all 1/2 off, when it actually wasn't.
Oh my god. You get so close to the point everytime.
There are so many words that we are not allowed to use that I wish I could. It doesn't matter how RCID was established, used, controlled, etc.
