Or worse, the other way around. Brian Roberts and Comcast have made no secret that they would love to take over Disney, even trying it in 2004.Great, so your saying they're going to use it all to buy out Comcast?

Infrastructure funded through RCID issued muni bonds at the behest of WDW. If WDW were to float bonds to fund the infrastructure, WDW would need to put the bond liabilities on WDW books. WDW can fund infrastructure projects without the associated liability being accounted for on WDW financial statements.What private infrastructure would that be?
If Comcast were to take over Disney, they'd be filing bankruptcy and spinning Disney off once more within 5 years.Or worse, the other way around. Brian Roberts and Comcast have made no secret that they would love to take over Disney, even trying it in 2004.

At best, if such lunacy were to happen AND it were to survive the antitrust suit, it'd be a merger agreed to by both sides, not a takeover.
Comcast tried a hostile takeover bid of Disney back in the day. The Disney Board said their offer was too low meaning Disney can be for sale.Or worse, the other way around. Brian Roberts and Comcast have made no secret that they would love to take over Disney, even trying it in 2004.
Celebration is nice but venture out onto the main roads of 192 in front of Celebration and its like day and night and see the real and dark side of Kissimmee. You should venture out of Celebration and see for yourself and ask the locals. Check out the movie The Florida Project with Willem Dafoe filmed on location very close to Celebration. Eye opening stuff.I was just visiting Celebration and had a ball walking and riding my bike around town and enjoying the sites and miles & miles of walking trails. can’t believe that town is almost 30 years old. It looks almost the same as it did when I first saw it in 2002. It’s hard to keep a neighborhood looking good in Florida, with all the sun and harsh weather. A resident told me that there are 32 full time gardeners and maintenance people and a full-time sidewalk steam cleaner and a drive-able machine that steam cleans the curbs. Lake Nona is nice, but seems pretty much like any new Central Florida development and it’s too far from everything, especially with traffic. My sister wants to move to Florida and is looking at Lake Nona, but I’m going suggest Celebration to her, as well.
Ok…now the schtick it getting old. Two clown limit on a thread and we’ve exceeded itAlan Horn would've been the one who would've caused a new Disney Dark Age, not Iger. And Horn is gone. Gone. The bad man is gone. Chapek's gone, Daniel's gone. Stability is back. And the fundamentals are just fine.
Disney's got a lot of upside from here, and it's going to get better.
Funny you use that Maya Angelou quote but don't actually follow it. Iger has shown us who he is since he entered the company, as a great, calming influence that spurs growth. I believe him.
Ah yes…the good old daysComcast tried a hostile takeover bid of Disney back in the day. The Disney Board said their offer was too low meaning Disney can be for sale.
That's when I give up on Disney.Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Resorts - owned by Elon Musk... including Tesla busses and monorails coming soon
An actual creative taking over...not badWalt Disney World Theme Parks and Resorts - owned by Elon Musk... including Tesla busses and monorails coming soon
The Sentinel, Miami Herald and Times have been writing on this for decadesCelebration is nice but venture out onto the main roads of 192 in front of Celebration and its like day and night and see the real and dark side of Kissimmee.

Musk proceeded to fire 80% of staff of Twitter when he took over. Not seeing that happening in parks and resorts .Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Resorts - owned by Elon Musk... including Tesla busses and monorails coming soon
I was off a few months regarding the dividend freeze. The point is that Walt Disney Company is under performing the Dow and it will come to do so. I’ll loose you two up in six months to see your comments regarding the company’s performance and Market price. It should be very interesting!And many are saying it has bottomed out, including Cramer who Brayden trots out to support his Chicken Little Disney theories.
If you are underwater because the purchase price for the stock was too high it is easy to miss seeing the opportunities in the current market.
I say it's bottomed and a trader I know at Fidelity agrees, they're picking up DIS on a price play now.
Oh, please -- the company was going to cancel Lake Nona even if Hizzoner and Bob Iger kissed and made up. Costs have soared since the original announcement, and nobody wants to move from California to Hurricane Central.Cancelling Lake Nona will have nothing but bad ramifications for the Governor since just he cost Orlando $1+ billion in business investment.
The coffee shop and other small businesses who had set up shop in Nona have been robbed of their personal dream by DeSantis, Clarissa, Randy Fine and their kind.
You do know that nothing was built yet right?The coffee shop and other small businesses who had set up shop in Nona have been robbed of their personal dream by DeSantis, Clarissa, Randy Fine and their kind.
This is not true. (From a Floridian) also this isn’t a politics forum. I know you’re newFlorida is just fine without Disney.
because it was an open program - not disney specificI have to wonder, if it was such a bad thing for the state, why did they give Disney hundreds of millions of dollars in tax credits to make the move?
It allowed RCID to issue loans that the public (the bond bearers floating the loan) that were favored by investors.
But it was still a loan and RCID still had to pay interest on the loan.
All in lieu of borrowing from a bank, which wouldn't have been much trouble for RCID anyway.
And for this favorable 'tax break,' Disney got to shell out money for their own infrastructure instead of it being provided by the county through the taxes they paid to the county. Disney was double taxed. What a tax break!!
I don't know in what world anyone would call taking out a loan and paying interest on the loan a 'tax break.'
