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

    Eminent domain. No, Disney doesn’t own all the land, but this is a power the new board does have.

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

    Depends on how persistent DeSantis is and the amount of damage he does, or if the board allows laws to be broken. Disney hasn’t gone through the motions undo their loss of control. A concession here, a concession there, suddenly they have lost a lot. Just because Disney has an agreement signed...

    UGG to permanently close at Disney Springs

    I was super happy when Uniqlo opened up. Now all that’s needed is a CVS

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

    I wonder how this will affect bondholders and the credit ratingness of Reedy Creek or other entities in the state. The board can entirely choose to make decisions detrimental to bondholders and the only man who can tell them to stop is the governor.

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

    The governor can appoint board members who oversees Reedy Creek. Disney must work with Reedy Creek when negotiating services, taxes, maintenance, etc. So Disney pays the taxes to maintain Reedy Creek, but does not have the ability to decide who governs them. Better, those board members only...

    Speaking your opinion is free speech Boycotting a business because of their beliefs is free speech. "Canceling" a business because of their beliefs is free speech Supporting a business because of their beliefs is free speech. Being targeted by the state for your opinions or your boycotts or...

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

    But you're condoning the state's actions by saying "Disney shouldn't have gotten involved, so it's their fault." No individual or company should be punished by the state based on how the state "feels" at that particular moment.

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

    So the governor can appoint political appointees if someone disagrees with him-and those appointees can decide issues regarding taxation, services, etc. How is that a win for any of the local landowners?

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    You're right. The Splash mountain log flume is quite long, longer than most long flumes. If the show scenes aren't spectacular, the ride will absolutely fall flat.

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    GMR put you in the movies, as MMRR does now. Unfortunately, GMR was simply dated-the movies needed to be updated after 25-30 years so they were more relevant. Getting a new ride that literally put you into the newest Micky Mouse cartoon isn’t significantly different, and more timeless. I...

    Universal Announces Texas Resort

    This reminds me quite a bit of Universal Studios Singapore. Really, why isn’t there a minions are?

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

    Depends on how punitive the taxes and special assessments levied by the state of Florida would be, assuming it was deemed constitutional. Don’t want to change your entire corporate structure to stop “wokeness”, tax rate of 50% for you. It was already 50, let’s make it 60. Assuming Disney was...

    Magic Kingdom getting a mixed light parade? I trust this source?

    Fantasmic isn't held at the castle - it's held on Tom Sawyer Island. Unless they stopped doing Main Street focused projection shows at the MK or somehow bypassed Main Street at the MK for the parade entirely, I really do not see how they can run the parade. It's too packed.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    But it still wasn’t Iger’s choice to make. Iger stepped down and Chapek was supposed to be running the show. Chapek was supposed to take over, and Iger’s legacy be protected because of what COVID would do to the company. A coward’s way out, but that was Iger’s choice. Firing the employees is...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    It seems Disney hasn't learned that allowing 1 person to be the company head is bad for them. First Tatum, then Eisner, and now Iger..... What's even sader about this is that Iger stepped down right when COVID was starting to protect his legacy rather than actually lead, and now doesn't get the...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    I personally think MMRR is a better attraction than Rise, and that it really does fit the theme of Hollywood Studios. It was easily the highlight of my last visits. My concern with Splash is simply its length. It is significantly longer and on a completely different scale than most long...

    News Zootopia and Moana Blue Sky concepts for Disney's Animal Kingdom

    I think it’s more a fact that Disney simply got outcompeted in Dinosaurs. When people think of dinosaurs in media, it’s Jurassic Park/World (where’s Blue?)…….. I’d rather Dinosaur turn into a ride where Scat is trying to get the acorn.

    What do you consider the best and worst expansion/new land added to WDW in the 2010's?

    I’m going to say Toy Story Land. It’s a good land and was something Hollywood Studios needed, but it needed to be twice as big (like it is overseas), and have more shade. Really that’s my complaint with Pandora and Galaxy’s Edge too. There needs to be more attractions and experiences to soak...
