Their roads aren't too bad. The only bad areas I'm thinking of are Buena Vista to Western Way, Western Way and...

    That's a valid assumption. WDW was about 10-15 miles from the closest facilities or utilities. WDW's presence in SW Orange and Northern Osceola leads to growth in those areas and new public utilities being built to serve WDW, residents, and tourists. Also probably leads to an expansion in...

    I understand what you are saying. If WDW was built say in the late 1980s vs the late 1960s/early 1970s, we would have a completely different situation. Florida and Orange County in the 1980s vs the 1960s are two different situations. If WDW had been built in the 1980s, the state would have...

    This isn't that different from how professional sports stadiums get built. A public municipality will offer to help finance a stadium by issuing muni bonds for the project. The municipality may also own the stadium and parking facilities around it. The municipality may set up TIFs or tax...

    Aren’t Disney benefits like discounts and passes similar to other benefits that say other companies give out to their employees? Like Costco giving out free executive memberships to their employees or Southwest allowing their employees to fly for free when not working?

    Without the added discounts or passes, is working as a firefighter or EMT for CFTOD still attractive? I would want to know how wages compare to the city of Orlando and Orange County. If you don't have the passes anymore, you may as well go where you can make more. I know that for some odd...

    I'm just trying to imagine if the district actually had been dissolved. Ignoring the massive debt burden that Orange and Osceola would have had to deal with, the whole thing would have happened without a transition period.
