You are correct on this. DeSantis has his eyes on moving to a much bigger house, in a nice shade of white, in the near future. Everything he does is to reach that goal.

Yes, most powers reside with the association. Owners have little control over anything. There is an annual meeting but I’ve never heard of the budgets or plans being changed based on owners objections.

I've got news for you... The instant an ACTUAL third party becomes large enough to be an ACTUAL threat to win elections, you'd instantly see the left and the right get together to crush them. Then once that threat was squashed, those same people that just worked together to crush the dissention would go back to "hating" each other on Twitter.
This country is in trouble, and it's likely too late to fix it. The horse is already out of the barn.

Don't Do. It. It's their party, let them plan and execute their own food choices. In that case, they'll get chips, dips, and meat cooked on a grille. Remember, make THEM do the clean-up too!

Correct... H. Ross Perot is a good example of what happens...

Ive always claimed the interest paid way back when i was still paying on it. In the early 2000’s I remember my tax guy saying thats fine but thats all you can claim. Cant claim your dues etc. Both my contracts have been psid off since 2010 so not sure if anything changed on the interest front.

Is Disney's silence regarding this (and lack of any legal action) a sign that they are simply renegotiating the terms of the district? DeSantis will take the win from his base and practically nothing changes on Disney's side.

Disney isn't really silent when their top day time show is speaking on it:

The company hasn't made a comment nor has the resort or even the district itself. An injunction hasn't been filed either. The View talking about it really doesn't mean anything.

While it is not a corporate statement, Disney could have easily directed ABC to not address it on The View.

I can’t imagine negotiations would stay secret.
I was wondering earlier if it might make sense to wait until after the election to actually make any moves. The current situation is good for District support, the locals are being left with a huge tax burden and nobody can claim that the big corporation is just trying to keep its tax benefits. In court the delay can just be presented as the parties doing their due diligence to figure things out.

Alright guys, after hours of reading over 206 pages in this thread (due to enjoying the heck out of Kirby and the Forgotten Land on my Nintendo Switch). I'm currently lost on what we're discussing. We went from discussing Florida Legislators wanting to remove The Reedy Creek Improvement District. To discussing about LGBTQ parenting and the Florida Bill, then talking about if Disney Animated Movies (the pre-Renissance Era) are appropriate for modern parents/audiences. Then back to discussing Reedy Creek (sometimes), then hints of religious parenting, and suddenly back on topic.
Poor Mom.
If you excuse me, I'm going to finish up the post-game section of Kirby and the Forgotten Land then I'll revisit this thread for more pages to read (if they aren't removed that is).

You're asking where the PR effort is... are given an example.. then want to ask where the non-PR is?
Disney isn't in a rush... delays hurt the gov more than they hurt Disney.

Interest on the mortgage can be deductible in most cases if you borrow money to buy DVC. We were talking about deducting the real estate taxes paid. You can also do that but I think for BLT it was $1.72 per point last year so not a huge deduction unless you own a whole lot of points. Since the 2017 tax bill most people stopped itemizing deductions so it’s not a benefit anymore for the majority of owners.

Ah my bad. Thats what happens when you start to skim things to get what a poster is saying. In this case it didn’t work for me. Half asleep and a few pages to catch up on.. it happens.

I don’t disagree. I do find that more and more people I know from both political parties are just sick and tired of the extremes. Candidates from either party who move towards the center are attacked from their own party and pushed out. It’s not just a GOP criticism,the Dems are no better, it just happens to be republicans in this case. Did I read right that 1 guy crossed party lines and voted against this RCID punishment? This is a pretty extreme action so I’m surprised there aren’t more pro-business Republicans who thought it was a bad idea. Shows that moderates aren’t getting elected at all.

RCID was created in the late 60s for Walts last dream, the "real" EPCOT, not what we have today.
Obviously, when he died, his dream of his "real" EPCOT died with him.
After his death, TWDC did make use of RCID, they could build stuff faster and get WDW opened as fast as possible, then later the "fake" EPCOT was built along with the others later.
It sure seems to me, todays Disney wants to build stuff as slow as possible, in order to pay their contractors as slow as possible.
It does not matter, RCID or not, WDW will be fine, maybe better in some aspects.
As for Florida being able to collect more taxes and fees from WDW when RCID is gone. Ha! TWDC is expert at not paying stuff. I am sure they will avoid paying and additional taxes or fees by all means necessary.

I can’t stand that show but the second woman from Miami (Spanish/Cuban accent) was 100% spot on, this bill is exactly the opposite of traditional Rep values, I stopped halfway through the third woman when she started talking about race and other political talking points that had absolutely nothing to do with either bill.
If WDW walks away with this instead and gets a huge tax break, the costs will perhaps be passed to Orange and Osceola residents .
