That is exactly what they are doing. It is a political stunt and nothing more. There was never a root problem. It’s wagging the dog.

Well, that applies only when it needs to apply. I suppose the next question is, how much land there does TWDC still own?

I doubt it's really a concern, but, you bring up a good point.

It was originally 21 square miles and they bought much more over the years for offsets…celebration…etc

I’d love to hear how you disagree. DeSantis and his spokeswoman have been trashing Disney for weeks. That’s not very business-friendly.

Universal Orlando Resort North Canpus has unique signs.

Now how about answering the big question? Is it okay for the government to suppress dissent if enough people say it is okay?

Several here ask very very interesting questions, yourself included. I find them very thought provoking, even if I'm sure we're on different sides. That's sort of the point of the country, and the closest you'll get to an answer from me right now.

Thank you for the info regarding Universal. I've never been.

In banana republics and sweatshop clearing houses??

…or what we print on our T-shirts and claim to be?

if you can’t laugh at the mere thought of pieces of WDW being seized by eminent domain (it’ll never happen) well then you’re taking yourself and this entire thing way too seriously

For the record I was never implying they would take a chunk of Epcot.

There is a lot of manufactured drama like old soap operas. No cause? hell create one.

Parents have every right to say they don't want certain sexual topics taught to their kindergartners who can barely grasp the concept of night and day. It's not being phobic of any kind no matter how loudly people want to yell that it is.

Should we teach kindergartens about capital punishment, suicide, etc? There's a reason topics become more complex as the students age. That structure is built on common sense...

I wonder if Disney DOES end up losing the Reedy Creek District if it will make them scale back the number of LGBTQ characters out of fear of further retailation. OR, maybe it would have the opposite effect. Once Disney loses the District (and the support of the Fox News viewers) the company may just be like "screw it, might as well make that gay Disney Prince and lesbian Disney Princess movie. The people who would be mad already hate us!"

You know…looking back on this the only “real
“ part was that Disney had to say something to oppose it.

Anyone who ever worked or does work for Disney knew this to be true. It’s numbers and the culture.

The rest is all optional

The state legislature disagreed, which is how democracy works ... sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you don't.


Now they don't. The curriculum is, "Don't instruct students in kindergarten through third grade on gender identity issues." It applies to all students.

The legislature saw an opportunity to score political points with yet another culture war issue that doesn’t actually exist.

I’m looking forward to watching the malicious compliance some teachers are already talking about. Since the bill prohibits any classroom instruction or discussion of gender identity, there can be no more Mrs/Mr, boy/girl, mom/dad. No gendered dress codes. No telling kids which bathroom to use. The list goes on and on….

No way in the hell of hells would reedy creek cease for 1 nanosecond.

They are publicly traded, so the answer is no. Like it or not, every publicly traded company worships at the altar of the dollar.

No meaning more gay characters or no meaning less gay characters?

Personally, I think we will get a gay prince and princess at some point, but I think it's at least 10-15 years away, once the more pro LGBTQ Gen Z has reached adulthood and is raising families. I still think it would be too financially risky at the moment.

The really bad part already happened, and people are cheering that it did.

My bets are on the following... RCID sue the state over the dissolution citing the Reedy Creek Act and the attack on their municipal powers - with the Bonds being the big hammer The counties sue the state over the way the dissolution is structured and the consequences and division of stuff No...

That never happened, Bud.

A teacher in Brandon Florida saying “Jimmy has two mommies” isn’t sexual Indoctrination.

That’s where you’re missing why this is contentious. You just bothered to type what doesn’t happen.

No first grade teacher was ever teaching sex identity to their kids…

And if one was caught…guess what would happen?? They’d be fired on the code of conduct grounds. No act of legislature needed.

…hopefully if leads to a good part?
