Once again, Disney is not the only park with a district. Universal and SeaWorld are in some as well.

New Article about the RFP for the operation assessment issued by the district: https://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/news/2024/02/21/disney-district-contract-bidders.html Twenty-one prospective bidders have filed proposals in response to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District's request...

It could even have a wave pool that produces waves up to 6 ft

Not sure if this is joking, but the state should. The state regularly inspects the monorail systems at the major airports. that means the ability is there, but Disney’s is on another level

That is a possibility. Beyond maintaining rides for safety and other forms of safety, they could just choose to invest meager amounts and move monies into DCL, DLR, and international parks. Disneyland Forward makes an interesting case for more California investment. On the other hand, they...

I still want to know if they are going to add an extra quick service for the location. In terms of transportation, this is going to suck. are they going to add bus stops or just tell people to walk to the Polynesian or grand Floridian monorail, bus stop, and ferry?

Also a people eater.

Perhaps someone can help me understand this. When they said Disney said no to a pedestrian bridge, connecting shades of green to the Polynesian, was a reason given? If I had to guess, I don’t think funding is the problem with this project. My guess would be a technical lack of land to build it...

I wouldn't risk it. There aren't many options if they cancel your flight. You are better off going to MCO nonstop to LAX or flying to Long Beach or John Wayne with a layover in Houston, Dallas, or Phoenix.

Based on the agreements with Osceola county, I think it may be shared, because of that public access might be required. I don’t know for sure. I know when they were planning animal kingdom, Disney helped part of the extension and redid the financing agreement a few years ago.

For WDI or Universal Creative ?

Wasn’t the big issue with the Bonnet Creek development? Bonnet Creek resides in unincorporated Orange County, but the only way to access it is through the district.

Funny enough, I have been playing with this exact idea in my head. I was reading over the legislation that reenabled the district, and saw that there were mentions to being able to fund projects outside of the district, which has been previously stated as a potential focus of the new board. one...

From S&P: https://disclosure.spglobal.com/ratings/pt/regulatory/article/-/view/type/HTML/id/2956080 Reedy Creek Improvement Dist, FL GO Rating Outlook Revised To Stable From Developing Following Recent State Legislation WASHINGTON D.C. (S&P Global Ratings) March 3, 2023--S&P Global Ratings...

When it comes to the rating of the bonds from Moodys or S&P, they don’t cite the additional provisions of state law, as the reasons for them changing the rating. They were mainly concerned with the continued ability of the district to be able to raise revenue(taxes) to pay off the existing...

Looking at the BOS Agenda for the 13th I saw “special magistrate for code enforcement.” Is this the RCID had or completely new?

If it got that bad, at a certain point Disney would just allow WDW to be operated under license by a third party like Tokyo and would just cash the checks.

Well WDW has the best transit system in FL. Not a train but it's something of note.

Now to see what pricing will be on Polly tower versus cabins at four wilderness. Does Disney have any incentive to offer significant incentives for Polynesian will be part of the same association? I guess we won’t reach grand Floridian fire sale numbers of the summer.

Members of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ tourism oversight board are vowing to tackle affordable housing and traffic issues they say their Disney-controlled predecessors ignored. That was one of the takeaways Wednesday from a scathing report that blasted Disney’s decades-long control over the Reedy Creek...
