With the kind of promotion that they once were famous for were to be used, they can get all the hype they need and spend a hell of a lot less to do it. They have to make what they have be exciting and not worry about what others might be doing. They stayed on top for about 60 years doing that and then, I assume to give bigger bonuses to the executives, they stopped producing those things and even if they don't admit it, they are running scared at the moment, in spite of increased profits. They have to make that dominance last, but I don't see them doing that unless they fill up those empty buildings and put something good in them and promote, promote, promote. That is second only to location, location, location.

I said basically. You just listed two rides at each park. My point is proven
Ron DeSantis has appointed 2 new members to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board of Directors:

I've never heard of Sunrise Bank (or any of those banks), or Woods & Woods. And I see a ton of banking commercial and lawyer commercials on local tv, radio, even the side of the bloody Lynx buses.Ron DeSantis has appointed 2 new members to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board of Directors:

Generally personal injury attorneys/firms are the only ones that actually advertise. Sounds like they handle real estate transactions and wills/trusts/estates, so not surprised you've never heard of them or seen ads.
Based on the name, I'm assuming he's a vampire living in the basement of the Haunted Mansion.
I've seen other lawyers advertise in both those fields, including in relevant business journals around here... This guy, nope.

I don't live in Florida, but I have heard of Sunrise Bank. They're a pretty large name to be a regional institution (though that could be in part because they used to have naming rights for a popular arena in Florida that a lot of my favorite artists played at on tour haha)

I wonder if he’s related to Thurl…

I'm sure a few do, but it's very uncommon. As an attorney, I don't know anyone that works at a non-PI firm that does public advertising like bus, TV, or billboard ads. I think business journals are a bit different and you're probably more likely to see something there if they handle something specific to that field, but I still think that's relatively rare.
According to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District website, Brian Aungst Jr. and Bridget Ziegler are no longer listed as current members of the Board of Supervisors. Their spots have been filled by Matt Ravenscroft and David Woods, who were recently appointed by Governor DeSantis.
Good riddance, now hopefully the district can get back to actually doing their job

I'm guessing you didn't read the entire article. Two brand new Desantis appointees are on the board now. Business as usual.

It’s not because there’s no reason for him to pretend to hate Disney now.
Could some one please remind me of any request that Disney has made that the board has denied, as far as I know there has not been one request denied. So no real effect on how WDW has been run since the change. The only pain Disney has had in the past several years if the constant over evaluations by County Assessor office of WDW properties. From what I have read, every single challenge Disney has made has been upheld. Yet the Assessor office continues with their crusade to make Disney pay more. Just to remind everyone Disney is already the single biggest tax payer in the county.

The worst thing I remember was CFTOD took away perks employees had when it was RCID.
I read it and have also attended several district meetings. The original batch he chose were all trying to prove a point while the newer appointees are more focused on actual gouvernement business

Personally I am still waiting for Universals special district to have the Governor appoint members instead of them all being Universal employees. Wouldn't want him to be a hypocrite for going against everything he said about RCID right before the new one for Uni was approved. I'm sure he has just been busy and he will call a special session and get it done any day now!
