the deeds for the plots are restricted that they can not be homesteaded, but they are deeded to individuals. The RCID map shows that Golden Oak was removed from the District, but the golf course and a few parcels next to them are deeded to HHR FSO from Bethesda Maryland

Before you want to talk about a sweetheart deal, you might want to understand how RCID is structured. Residents do not get to vote for supervisors. Land owners vote with 1 vote per acre or major fraction there of. Yes there are private landowners within the district. There are a few tracts in...

I said that the other day. I think that is the backup plan. And as home rule cities, they can issue and compete for tax free municipal bonds. Would love to see the irony of the cities standing up, taking advantage of their inherrant rights and even opening their own Fire and PD departments and...

If Disney finds the situation untennable, they have recourse. They would sue the State in Federal Court. The State does not have souvereign immunity in cases of violations of Constitutional rights so they can not escape that way. They can sue for damages (none yet) and request an injunction...

And this is the problem. You have your right to your opinion, even if every single thing is false. You have no understanding of what RCID is, was or why it was founded. You consider it an arm of the Walt Disney Company when it is not. It was an independent government whose Board of Supervisors...

it may be time for Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista to significantly raise their taxes and take on a regulatory role over their city land. Start a police department and fire department. Maybe build a few roads. Take over the things that Reedy Creek was doing.

The amount of misunderstanding here is unbelievable. A few things to start. Reedy Creek Improvement District was not Disney's private government. It was the local government, created by the state, where the landowner's get to vote on the governing body. Reedy Creek perfromed the normal...

How about this and compare 1/1/2020 (Prepandemic) with yesterday 1/1/2023 Thrill-data has the actual wait times to compare 1/1/2020 39 minute average standby wait time 1/1/2023 32 minute average standby wait time So the lines were shorter this year than the last year pre-pandemic. Kinda...

Now that is just not correct. DVC resale prices have sunk in the last few months. April alone avg resale was down $6 per point.

I am a gay man. Live a normal life in the small town with my husband. And I am now so proud of Disney for what they are doing this year. In years past, I saw it as crass commercialism. Rainbows looking like a unicorn threw up at the local strip mall and big box stores. But while their...

I have to say that a lot of people are over reacting to all of this When I got my first AP, --There was no Memory Maker. That is only the last few years. We look at the ride pictures and do maybe one photographer per trip so it is a complete nothing burger to us. But 99 bucks for the who year...

I am really confused by the hatred for Genie and Genie+. Other than people not wanting to personally pay for it. The biggest complaints boil down to it is not very Disney. But Disney pioneered the "Pay to get in the gates" then pay for each attraction and some would cost way more than others...

How did you do that in 1977? From October of 71 till the summer that Epcot opened in 1981, Disney required you to purchase admission, purchase a ticket to ride the monorails and busses, then made you pay additionally for each attraction that you rode. The Disney model from 1955 to 1981 was pay...

That is a stretch. You are taking something that applies to you and generalizing it to "Most People". And in this case it is false. Disney hotels are running full and no one has fastpasses.

There are no roads in Walt Disney World that are county controlled. RCID maintains and owns the majority of the roads, including all of the major transportation corridors except the state highways and interstate 4. Disney owns the roads that are within the resorts, the parking lots, that...

The Pavilion may have opened with the support of the Moroccan government, but it is owned by a private company Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant, LLC. The company is composed of two members. So it has two owners, both private Moroccan citizens. One was a former travel official for the Moroccan...

Also, remember that these touches cost so much per person staying at the hotel. And with no hotel guests; who is contributing to paying the expenses for these touches like the orchestra? This is most likely the business model that Disney wants for the lounge. As guests find a bar 'relaxing'...

Not surprising at all. The hotel is not open yet. Just the DVC building and some NFL players inside their bubble and they will not be hanging out in the lobby.

Demand is down. Here is the perfect example I fly Spirit to Orlando from Austin. Last fall, we made 3 trips. We had the choice of 4 non-stop flights each day. Now Spirit has 4 flights per week. 1 flight a day on 4 days and no flights on 3 days. That is it. 1/7 the flights to MCO from AUS and...

While no one wants to see less in their Disney experience, there is a financial view to look at. Pre-Covid Disney looked at the non-revenue and revenue-neutral items as an expense. IF 350,000 people visited the parks in a week and the weekly cost to a line-item like fireworks was $1,000,000 the...
