Looks like WDW FL is the bread winner for Disney at 40 billion those $6.25 Mikey bars sure add up

Smells like... someone wanting to make sure people know just how important Disney is to Orlando, specifically, and Florida as a whole.

Iger: “That’s why we keep raising prices…WE KEEP FLORIDA EMPLOYED “

Looks like this time the stress is how important to 'Merica as a whole, not just Florida

Central FL lives eats and breathes Disney. Many are employed directly and indirectly due to the Mouse. Let’s not kid ourselves.

We just returned from Epic Universe, and it is probably the best park we’ve been at outside of Tokyo Disney Sea. Disney has spent a lot of money in Florida so far, but it pales in comparison to the amount of money that they’re going to have to spend to stay on top. Universal has really stepped up to the plate and if they continue executing parks and expansions like this, they could take the top crown away from Disney. And this is coming from someone who isn’t a big Universal fan. Get your checkbook out, Disney…

Disney hit with another round of layoffs as hundreds lose their jobs

It’s the largest round of layoffs to hit the company in months.

Ummm...

The cuts impact corporate financial operations, film, television, marketing, television publicity, casting and development departments. No teams are being eliminated, the outlet reported, and most of the impacted staffers are based in Los Angeles.​

The firm they hired is a little suspect as well.

They used them in 2023 in their fight against DeSantis to generate a glowing report of their "economic contributions and impact".

Exactly. They're likely a pay-for-play outlet. If Buzz Price was still alive, he''d be screaming right now!

Not to be outdone, Universal also released also “Economic Impact” study (release date unknown).
