Does anyone live, legally, in Walt Disney World?

[Wojciehowicz]

Fair - if I thought your ever so kind reply had any merit, I would have thanked you for your opinion on a simple question.

My initial response on post #16 was not based on opinion. It was based on first hand knowledge.
I gave an answer early on, but it's apparent that you're looking for a different answer than the one I gave and based on your most recent response, it sounds like you still are.
What would you like the answer to be, that yes, if you stay long enough in a room or site at WDW, you become a legal resident of WDW.

But what if you were squatting at HM? The Ghost Host mentions there are 999 haunts and that there's always room for one more. Couldn't that be construed as a legal offer of residence?

We'll have to ask the lawyer with the brief case, but holy crap, I think you found the loop hole.
You'll have to be dead in order to do it, but it is WDW after all.

Works for me! I'll take whatever loophole I can find as long as I get to live there!

ETA - you can bury me next to the lawnmower tree!

They are likely the Reedy Creek Improvement District officials who have been hand picked by Disney.

No they are just senior officials who own a lot of stock and have been working at the company for years like people like my father. He has been working at Disney since he was a college student in the late 60's. He was offered a one acre plot and he's been living there ever since. Just like DC though we never were able to vote for governer or President of the U.S. since we were a company owned territory. The Mayor and board of representitives serve a more ceremonial role than doing anything at RCID.

You seriously do not understand the RCID setup. Please stop while you are only buried halfway...

DC does vote for the president.. as did your parents (or had the option to). RCID is a LOCAL government.. much like a town or county. It doesn't supercede State or Federal laws. It's still part of Flordia, and still bound by FL law. You're still residents of FL, and still citizens of the US. And yes, the residents (and hence, who ultimately gets on RCID's board) are by Disney's choice. It's a true local government entity, but the 'public' that it serves and decides how it operates.. are for all intensive purposes.. Disney.

"for all intents and purposes"

I kind of like the phrase "intensive purposes."

How about "Intense porpoises"? Dolphins with attitude.

 

[ULPO46]

Yup. And the only ones allowed to "vote" on Development District issues. I would KILL for a "Reedy Creek Development District" Polo Shirt .

Just go to their headquarters near downtown Disney I'm sure they have some for sale.

This is an such an interesting thread.

When you check in there is a document in your folder that states you will NEVER call Disney World your home, you will NEVER be considered a legal resident of Disney World.

Yet when you check in at any resort the first thing any CM tells you is..

Welcome home?

It's sort of like the marketing campaign of Olive Garden and being "like family" when you eat there. I've yet to find a waiter/waitress find any humor in my standard comment "pay for the meal? When I go to any of our other family dinners I don't have to pay"

Mind if I use that?

Not at all.

I was told by a cm at Fort Wilderness that the one sight was a relative of the Disney Family , I don't think they live three year around , just the RV never moves ,
