Yes HOA most certainly do have contingencies, and is a quite normal part of the m.o. However, when they say they have completed the conveyance of the property, makes it sound like iris already owned by Disney. Property doesn’t get conveyed unless all contingencies are removed.

Curious that they announced the agreement (called a HOA - heads of agreement) and announced the completion of the purchase of the land before the environmental impact assessment was completed. Even more curious that the HOA was announced the same day (according to a dcl blog) that Bob Iger...

From what I here of the eyewitness accounts, there are a lot of rules that “don’t pertain “ one way or another. There is a reason Disney’s and other cruise lines ships are registered in the Bahamas. Less stringent regulations AND far fewer resources at policing those rules. Bottom line in my...

The destination is quite remote, accessible by a road that is unmaintained. Rough and rugged, you need patience, a four wheel drive vehicle or at least one that has good clearance and a cooler bag that can supply you with some food and water or adult beverage. Yet TripAdvisor show it as the #2...

Yes, change is hard, particularly for a little island with a lot of quiet beauty and restorative natural environment. I too have stood on that point, and I hope you can understand my concern when I think of a boat load of people trooping around there and running the risk of damaging something...

What watchdog agencies do you speak of? Is this a voluntary participation on Disney’s part? I’m aware of no such agency other than the Bahamian health authority. The reason I ask and say this is that the same employee of Disney said he witnessed an inspection of the tanks by a health inspector...

I agree with you. There is a wonderful mechanism embedded within nature that (thank goodness) cleans up our mess and returns our waste into something productive. In our neck of the woods, a septic field system is permitted where no water source is within a certain distance and above all else you...

There is a certain irony to our topic on a forum whose main goal it is to seek opinions and experiences from other people. Once relayed from the person who experiences it, it is all second hand information. So by your narrow definition of the validity of information, if the gentlemen who...

Sorry, I miss your meaning. The man worked there. 10 years. How much more first hand do you need? If it appeared in a paper, most writers will not have been present (first hand) in much of what they write. They use sources as the basis of their information.

My source is a man who worked at Castaway Cay. I happen to “run into him” on Facebook after Disney was asking Bahamians to trust them based on their record at Castaway Cay. This opened up a whole big discussion on FB about Castaway, and I saw some comments by a guy that talked about the...

It was mentioned in several places, here’s one: http://www.tribune242.com/news/2018/sep/27/disney-400m-spend-to-better-top-location/. In that article it refers to access in a couple of areas, one of them it says “Besides giving Bahamians full, continued access to the 700-acre site, the duo also...

Yeah. And to further that comment above, may I add, “everything that Disney does isn’t necessarily magic”. Some of it is just a big river of crap.

Some of this threads information is correct, but not all. Disney , as part of the deal to purchase , received 200 acres of crown land within the boundaries of the 700 acres. So “giving back” 170 acres at the back of the larger property isn’t as magnanimous as it appears. As well, at least to the...
