They seem to be pretty flexible with LLs. I hit a LL today over an hour late today and they accepted it. Im sure the busier it is the more stringent is they are about enforcing things - I got the impression that as long as it’s not super busy as long as you get to a LL your time or later they...

Amazingly I got BG11 got to go on as soon as I got in the park. Talk about good luck. Other people in my group that had separate app plans got 103 or so. Rode around 4 something. At least we all got on but I definitely was the most lucky!

Would also say I was there last year for the first day of Genie+. It didn’t exist yet for our first park day but it was operating for our other two park days. I think we went to MK on either the first or second day of genie+. I’m not a fan of having to pay for it but I did splurge and do it. I...

I live in the Northeast and go to WDW annually. Have a great time every trip - we stay offsite and do about three days in the parks - we also usually spend some time at Disney Springs which we really enjoy. I have only been to California once and did not visit DLR so I can’t speak for which one...

Well by work this out I mean wait until after the mid term election. Eventually even absent the courts someone has to figure out how this would work and ultimately it may result in essentially the same arrangement without nominally repealing the bill.

This may explain the silence. While I think this law could be struck down in a first amendment complaint as well it seems as a number of other approaches - ultimately Disney may just choose to keep silent and let DeSantis have his big political moment and then quietly work this out with state...

Great and totally within your right as a consumer. When a company makes a political statement on a sensitive issue they reap what they sow as far as the market. But all of that is 100% irrelevant to the topic at hand. It isn't a contradiction to have the position you have but still think...

What matters is the intent. And at the end of the day it may be legal - but it's extremely unethical and wrong. It's up to judges to decide if its a legal violation of the first amendment, and the burden is likely on Disney proving that's the intent of the legislation, but it certainly isn't in...

I don't disagree - but one can agree with that but also say Florida's retaliation is an unacceptable and disturbing over reaction and abuse.

While I dont want to get into a political debate I will say simply this. I’m not a liberal or woke by any stretch - and I think the left certainly has made their contributions to the culture wars. I also have a lot of mixed feelings about the core issue of DeSantis’s bill. There are overzealous...

They actually are. Most of the benefit Disney gets and the reason they benefit from the district is their freedom from overnight by the local planning authorities which gives them great flexibility in their master planning. In return for the benefit they pay a large portion of the costs for the...

There's no disputing that there should repercussions for speaking out on a controversial issue in the market and public discourse. But not retaliation by government - that's a step too far and essentially shreds the first amendment.

Couldn't agree more.

This.

Another thing: if Disney hits back by canceling it's planned Lake Nona campus (Which many employees are already calling for the company to do) that would hurt Florida far more than losing RCID is going to hurt Disney.

Why would anyone be surprised by this graph? The attention they are getting and controversy isn't good for business because it can potentially polarize your customer base. This has nothing to do with RCID. No more RCID isn't going to sink WDW. Universal does just fine without a special...

I think at the end of the day there's a very good chance that after the dust settles and media attention moves on from this and they get their bragging rights for sticking it to Disney they'll quietly declaw the provision and most of the status quo will continue.

And on a further point - for the business reasons I stated - I agree Disney should have kept their mouth shut - but with what was going on with employee pressure it was somewhat darned if you do darned if you don't. They were in a pretty tricky spot. And they took a stand and there's nothing...

Pushback by public criticism on a certain media outlet and on social media and by people who disagree not spending their money at Disney parks or on Disney + - sure. I made this point yesterday but I think whatever one thinks about the law or whether Disney should have commented is somewhat...

Sure - and then they wouldn't get the press attention and people punishing them with their wallet. Again - I agree that opening your mouth on a controversial topic opens yourself up to criticism and backlash from those who will object to what you are opining on. But retaliation by the government...
