The other thing is the dismissal is without prejudice. The judge said Disney can refile if they are actually harmed and have actual injury. Disney has been asked what actual damages, other then loss of control of the governmental board, they have, and they have come up with absolutely nothing...

Wrong, it was true. I did not state Disney was never exempt from impact fees, which is what your false factcheck seemed to imply I said. Disney used RCID to evade an estimated $1 billion in impact fees/taxes to avoid supporting the local community and paying their fair share. CFTOD wants to...

Sure, the Hamilton County Development Authority was not in compliance with Florida Statute 189, and was subject to dissolution unless the legislature re-established it in compliance with the law. The district was re-established in HB 1169 and changed the governance board in a matter similar to...

Its entirely accurate. All districts that were created prior to 1968 had to come into compliance with current law. Some were dissolved, some were re-established and became complaint with current law, but now there are no districts in Florida that don't have to follow the policies that were...

The law that dissolved RCID did dissolve ALL special districts in the state that were given unlimited power and are not compliant with laws and regulations that set barriers to what special districts could do, that was created at a later date. RCID was not the only one dissolved, its just the...

In typical municipalities, that is irrelevant to the election and representation of the people. If I own an apartment complex with 1000 units, I get 0 votes, and each tenant of mine gets 1 vote, even if I'm paying 90% of the revenue in a town. If Disney took one vote, and gave every tenant on...

I've also heard Brightline is going to be increasing their order of new passenger car to 30... the plan is to add one car to each train for each of the next 3 years, from 4 to 7 per train.

It was a suicide.

The trains in South Florida have been profitable, and they don't have enough trains so they're going to have to cut some service down there once they launch Orlando service. Its also only getting delayed by an additional week. They need more trains badly, thats the biggest issue, but they should...

Disney does not pay taxes on land and assets owned by RCID, and if RCID did not exist, Disney would have to own the land, and the assets on the land, so Disney would have to pay property taxes on many, many more assets every year. They also would have to pay normal taxes instead of being able to...

The plan for the Tampa route is to completely privately fund it, no tax dollars. The Orlando airport to Disney-area line is going to get some government funding since they're trying to make them go a route that is going to cost an additional billion dollars and want to run Sunrail along the same...

I've heard Disney isn't happy with the loss of control of the RCID assets, and much of this money is going to go towards acquisition of the RCID assets that Disney has deemed critical to control, such as parking garages, roads, and bridges. Not only do they need to cover the cost of those...

That is really easy. Disney hasn't been prevented from saying anything, they're still allowed to protest the Parent Rights bill if they so choose. Disney has not lost a single right that is given to every other corporation is Florida over any of their speech, they still have every right every...

Your bet would be wrong. I live in the center of a county in Florida that does not regularly spray for mosquitos. I also have a good source that Universal pays for their own mosquito control, paying taxes on it. Universal also pays taxes on other things like parking garages, whereas Disney is...

And actually, I looked into this, and if CFTOD stops spraying for mosquitos for whatever reason, Disney actually has the right to buy their own equipment and sprayers, and hire employees, and spray for the mosquitos themselves on their property! Infact, this is literally what their competition...

So how can we see the plans submitted to the city?

The other half of that is in the event of damage, if the lines are underground, it is often difficult to pinpoint where the damage occurred, and the entire line frequently needs replacement, and its much more time consuming to do everything, so even if there is less damage with it being...

Disney likely wants a higher end, modern campus then what Celebration has in it. The average household income in Celebration is $20k less then Lake Nona. The amenities and other companies locating in Lake Nona are top notch. It has much easier access to MCO.

Nothing official, but it is rumored Disney will be moving into this 8 story building that is currently under construction: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/13410-Veterans-Way-Orlando-FL/14155850/

One option (the lowest budget) is they direct half the trains to the airport and avoid having the airport trains go to the southern Sunrail stops at all. You'd have to take Sunrail north, get off at the next stop, and switch to the southbound trains if you are trying to go south from the...
