I've seen quite a few people say that EPCOT had nothing to do with RCID as if they know this for a fact . My question is, how do we know for 100% certainty that IS fact? Does anyone happen to have meeting minutes between Disney reps and FL legislators that prove EPCOT was or wasn't used in their...

Fair enough. I looked at a few sources and some said Walmart and some said Publix so I went with Walmart. But the my original point remains that Disney is not Florida's largest employer. Compared to Florida's $117B budget, then Disney represents .8% of Florida's revenue according to that...

There are a couple of inaccuracies in that statement. First, Disney is not Florida's largest employer. Walmart is. Disney is the largest SINGLE SITE employer. Disney is a large taxpayer but 80% of Florida's revenue comes from sales tax. Sure Disney plays a factor in sales tax, but not a lions...

If it's never happening then why even think about the ramifications? It just seems like a waste of brain cycles to me. They can't just pack up Disney World in U-Hauls and move it so Disney is forever tied to Florida. It's just a question of how everything is going to move forward.

I can see some flaws in that hypothetical. All theme parks everywhere were shut down for about 4 months for covid, yet the state of Florida survived. Orange country survived. No shocking destruction as you put it. Just stating the facts.

Not true. If they had just ended it when they said... "Florida's HB 1557, also known as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law," ...you'd have a point. But they didn't. Chapek went one step further. "Our goal as a company is for this law...

Actually this wouldn't be a win for Disney. They're day to day business would get much more difficult. All all of the tax implications aside, if RCID is repealed, everything they build, all of their food locations, etc. comes under the scrutiny of county regulators. How that plays out comes down...

And from the Splash Mountain thread, we know the Twitter mob rules the country these days. Oppppsss......was that too political?

OK fine. Admit you're paranoid about it. You're not the only one and won't be the last. I have my own about this thing. I think a lot of people do. So much back and forth in the media. Lots of sensationalist headlines. I've been saying for weeks that the only thing anyone is sure of is the no...

I think it's a darn good analogy. You're suggesting that every guest will push the 6 foot limit and push the mask limit. Some may, but I'd wager that's about the same as the number of people testing the limits of hotel balcony railings. Look, if you think it's unsafe, then that's cool. That's...

None of the measures are safe? No safety measures of any kind, for anything, bring risk down to absolute 0. Though, according to the experts, maintaining 6 feet and wearing a mask brings it pretty darn close to 0. By that rationale hotel balconies are unsafe because 5 - 10 people per year fall...

If they opened as if nothing happened, I would agree that would have been unwise or even reckless. But they didn't open as if nothing happened. Wan't the POINT of all the theme parks spending tons of money on social distancing stickers, temperature scanners, acrylic barriers, hand sanitizer...

Splash Mountain is the latest casualty to be thrown into the memory hole in the name of "progress". I have no doubt there will be more to come. Things are getting more Orwellian by the day. In these times, one can't even disagree with an idea or policy considered to be progressive without...

The first trip I took (that I remember anyway) was in 1981. I think the difference between those of us that knew Disney back then and those who have come to know Disney recently, is where the magic came from for us. Back then, Disney prided it's magic on the immersion. The fact that you would...

I think this has more to do with traffic control than anything else. For Be our Guest or Frozen, when the line extends past the end of the physical queue, they are trying to avoid clogging the walkways. So they give you a time to return when there is room for you in the physical queue. The...

I was just thinking along those same lines, though I have a different view on one point. The "Vacation Kingdom of the World" mindset is very much alive and well..........in DVC Members. Being a member myself for over a decade, I've had a chance to chit-chat with a great many other members...

I'm curious what points beg to be linked. Looking at the property map, existing transportation structure, etc I don't see anything that would make sense for them to build a monorail from/to. Edit: I don't see anything that makes sense given Disney's model of "complementary" transportation...

I was thinking something along the lines of an open plaza where there is a smooth transition between colonial African and Polynesian architecture. :)

This is why I believe monorail expansion is very improbable. Disney's transportation needs are not park to park. It is resort to park and back. There is no cluster of resorts to connect to a theme park that makes sense. Actually, to make it more granular, there is no cluster of DELUXE resorts to...

Yeah I wouldn't mind a little elaboration on this one.
