News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

RCES is a subsidiary of TWDC - the power plants are owned by DPEP.

Interesting it says "& Board of Directors" - curious what the implications are there.

The power plant is owned by RCID. Reedy Creek Energy Services is just the company that operates the facility.

Ah, apologies - I see it on the map now in yellow.

Because we are Disney fans who don’t want this malicious decision to adversely affect WDW’s offerings and prices. And some of us are members of the LGBTQI community who passionately oppose government discrimination. It’s particularly distasteful given the prominence of LGBTQI people among Disney’s CMs and guests.

That you don’t understand is frankly baffling to me.

I'm not talking about the bill. I'm referring to them getting rid of RCID

I am guessing those California jobs are not going to Florida now, if anything I suspect jobs will be trimmed in Florida as punishment.

This is not going to end well at all for Disney or Florida.

Re read what was said. You really think the definition of retaliation in federal civil protection is going to be treated narrower than in the 1a?

You are cra cra

"Retaliation" under Title VII is a statutorily created cause of action. There's no "retaliation" cause of action created by the 1st Amendment; a government action is either constitutional or unconstitutional under the 1st Amendment.

I addressed this in the first sentence of my reply to you. I’m not sure what I can add.

Because both sides are being used/abused. Yes, parents should have a say in their kids' education/school programming. But, is there any real question about the timing/motive of this legislation given it's proponents/sponsors within the government? This now extends to the response from these same political figures in light of Disney's position (whether you agree with it or not). These folks are being quite direct about what this is about and it sucks that this is still a thing.

The concerns from our peers in the LGBTQ communities are legitimate. Hasn't exactly been a picnic for these folks historically speaking, wouldn't you agree? So the fact that there would be concern and pushback on something that could be a potential slippery slope going backwards for this community is understandable in my estimation.

Both positions are legitimate but the power brokers are pulling the strings and plotting people against each other. Do I have the solution? Heck no. But I will point out bad faith on all sides and encourage the working together with others if even they are adamantly opposed because I do know this... What we are doing is not working.

Now, it could potentially rerail Disney in very profound ways. Which is why we are all here.

"Rerail" I like that term. Too bad there is no time out or going to neutral corners to cool off. The Disney business model is going to be modified as is the County's management of it's jurisdiction. So "rerail" is very descriptive.

I’m gonna take a really wild guess and say they haven’t shown ANY of that on Faux…

Not one second

DeSantis was on Fox last night gloating.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Honestly DeSantis losing this would be a win for him. Disney keeping this arrangement is good for his state and he keeps the "good PR" among his base that he's fighting Disney. Maybe that was the goal all along, who knows.

That may be the point…but that assumes more savvy than I’m willing to give

You must not have much faith in the governing ability of Orange and Osceola counties.

Considering what they just did to Split Oak (and Little Econ, and about 5 additional examples lately), when it comes to conservation I have no faith in Orange specifically. I have more faith in Osceola, but not much.

A change of name may be in its future, same facility / operation / company, just a surface refresh.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Good gawd…are people still battling the OTHER thing here? Let that go and stick to the shenanigans than now directly involve Disney

The hostile business environment in Ca and Anaheim has not changed. TWDC is between a rock and a hard place.

That particular poster has some weirdly intense dislike of Disney and seem to be an evangelist for that cause. The logic according to which they criticise Disney changes to suit the particular thread, but they've made it clear they prefer basically every other theme and amusement park out there and have spent a lot of time trying to convince Disney fans they should too. The "love" reaction to every post forecasting rough times ahead for Disney is completely in character.

I disagree…but don’t want to tangent on why…

I’ll just say: who said anything about Anaheim?!?

 

[Patcheslee]

Had an interesting convo with DD13 about this bill after she saw a TicTok or SnapChat video saying Disney World would be closing down because of this bill. Needless to say at least she questions if something on social media is true and asks.

Because the how and why matters, not just the end result. We wouldn’t have laws if it didn’t.

No posters opinions, the dissolution of RCID nor any politics are necessary to get visitors and guests to prefer other amusement parks more. B.C. and his cronies are doing an effective job of that.

Horses for courses, as we say in the UK.

As someone whose love of WDW is based on a passion for Disney as opposed to any fondness for amusement parks as a general category, I’m immune to any conversion efforts!

Ok, Ok, Ok, it goes without saying.
