That’s fine about the underlying laws. I agree. But I hope we’re not okay with punishing people for criticizing or opposing laws we think are bad.

We don’t need the plane noise…we have fireman Ed…
My home is not in the compass direction for the runways at TLH. But I still have aircraft flying close by as the pilot lines up. It all depends on where the aircraft is flying to or from.

Come to a Jets or Giants game…
I love it when the cameraman pans towards that passionate fan.

You know what's funny?
Already sold out with the recent news...
If the TFR is rescinded, are we free to do something like this to the helicopter tours that will inevitably fly more frequently over the parks and resorts? Asking for a friend.
Eh, it's not going anywhere.

Even IF it makes it through the house, if won't make it through the Senate. On top of which this is an automatic veto from POTUS.

These people are idiots because: 1. This harms no one but park guests, 2. see #1, and 3. their political opponents only need to point this out to the public (many of whom probably have gone to WDW and have appreciated the fact they were in a no fly zone even if they didn't realize it).

You're more generous than I am.
I wonder most days how they manage to get themselves out of bed.

I always wonder how the helicopters skirt this rule. When it's time for Illuminations, I mean, Harmonious, I mean whatever it is, the pool above the Riviera feels like helicopter central.If the TFR is rescinded, are we free to do something like this to the helicopter tours that will inevitably fly more frequently over the parks and resorts? Asking for a friend.
Considering the idea of a no-fly-zone over WDW was spearheaded by a few execs from Walt Disney Entertainment years ago (as the exec who got it from the FAA told me once), there is little need for it from a safety perspective. If there are safety concerns once it is gone, I am reasonably certain the TSA, FAA, FBI, and other law enforcement or regulatory agencies can deal with it. Disney doesn't need it for safety - it was designed to keep out advertisements, and actually made entertainment harder to do because they had to go to the FAA for exemptions.
Do the planes fly directly over the stadium DURING the game?

I don't care about this.
Just add it to the pile of things wrong with WDW.

If the TFR is removed, what would this mean for drones?

Not sure if you were around for 9/11 but those targets were symbolic of America.
Disney is also highly symbolic of America. Think about all the ways WDW is highly attractive shiny target at the global terrorism level (Eta- that other parks are not even close).
This legislation in haste to discipline Disney is overlooking how they are not just knee-capping WDW but potentially the whole state of Florida with their actions. Cut off the nose to spite their face.

Not during, but flyovers at Lambeau right before the game starts happen every home game.
ETA- Lambeau is also directly under the flight path to GRB and yes, planes fly over during the game to land.

Disney Springs was the original target, not MK.
