    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    And you have an example of this? Nothing has been cited. So, there’s no need to hand waive away anything. Roads is not a generalization, I referred specifically to public roads and asked if RCID was used to fund any not public roads. Splitting hairs very closely on exactly what the spending...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    But, that's the question I asked. Which I recapped the context in the post above. I asked specifically for things RCID was doing that were reason the poster said they needed to be reformed or dissolved. They answered with "Shifting CapEx" as a thing that was improper. Then, you lectured me...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    To recap: The suggestion that RCID has problems that need to be resolved. The question asking for an example problem. The answer providing an example problem that should be resolved. An answer that doesn't provide any context about what CapEx is being referred to. A rebuttal that this...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I'm not. Transfer the way the projects are funded. How they're paid for, the ability to use municipal bonds, that they're managed by the district. This was cited as an improper use by Disney and a reason the district should be removed. I would like examples of when this was done for an...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    They don't have to, but they could. In a world where the district never existed and the entire area was one huge private Walt Disney World Resort, I think they might have done that. That would certainly create an even better "magic bubble" feeling. See, you passed through the gate right off...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Agree. The entire area would have looked different. I've commented before that if Disney had kept everything private, one huge private compound, just pushed the ticket booth gates all the way out to the district boundaries. Put the entrance gates at Hotel Plaza Blvd and 535, the I-4 Epcot...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Except it kind of was and is. Statements about Disney can transfer CapEx to the District and this gives them an unfair competitive advantage. Along with the suggestion that this transfer allows Disney to fund Disney projects using municipal bonds which would be a large issue. All of this is...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Besides the parking garages, and public roads owned by RCID, what other project has Disney ever been able to move? Any private roads? Limited access roads? Any resort amenities? Some other example of Disney using the District to avoid the CapEx on Disney's books.

    Each poster is clearly a different LLM. Some of them have better training data sets.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    So far there appear to be two complaints about the district over that time. They made the same spending decision many other governments have made and some people disagree with it, to build parking garages. They tried to "not in my back yard" get Bonnet Creek to connect to public roads some...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    If it hadn't been a public road, it wouldn't' have provided access in the same way. It would have created a super huge access easement on private property. Disney would have argued that a different route would have given more direct access to a public road. This is the scenario where RCID...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Are there any roads that RCID funds that it is not possible to drive on without paying Disney to be able to do it? Anything that is restricted access, behind a gate. Something only a cast member, or a guest who has paid to be at Disney can access. Something where someone just cutting across...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Google wasn't much help in researching what the issue was. Was the entire thing about allowing Bonnet Creek an access road to an RCID owned road? From an otherwise island locked property with no other access to public roads? Sounds like it was ruled right, getting them the access. Probably a...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Why? What makes it different? RCID is district based on land ownership. Why should anyone who doesn't own land get a say? It's not like the existence of RCID allows those within it to just break County and State laws. It's a very limited governance structure targeted at land use. There is...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    What community? There is virtually no community at all within the RCID boundary. The community within the RCID boundary is the Walt Disney World Resort. Along with some land sold that includes conditions where the Walt Disney World Resort retains significant control over how it is used and...

    Do I get say in how your local government works? Why not? What's the definition of "near" that allows those outside the boundary to get input even while being outside? Do the residents of Miami get a say? Do the residents of Lake Nona get a say? Should the residents of Kingsland GA get a...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I guess if you have to mislead to point out a fault with RCID, it's not really a fault then. My bent is to people not just making stuff up to then argue against. If that's all you have, then you are correct about one thing, it's not worth the conversation. One would think if RCID was full of...

    Any relationship between that article and this thread is only because they talk about the same subject. At least, the same subject as it existed at the time the article was written. This thread, as it is an active conversation, has progressed to talk about what actually exists as of today...

    Exactly how large a budget did you expect to see for "parks, pools, community programs, and other things things" for a city with a population of 24? The city could buy every resident, all 24 of them across all ages including kids, season passes to Disney Water Parks for less than it would cost...
