I have noticed that Uni likes to be a bit of a smart when it comes to Disney on Twitter, but, unless I've missed something, they've stayed quiet since all of this went down. It's almost like things suddenly got serious.
Still not relevant. Reedy Creek’s existence isn’t something that should be based on whether or not some segment criticizes or loathes Disney.
NBC has covered it pro-rodent. It’s an easy choice for them this time…for about 1,000 reasons
- They will simply create a new complaint special district to replace RCID; a district similar to RCID, but a modern one, compliant to the Florida constitution like all the current special districts; Disney giving up some power.
- Even if DCID is dissolved and there is no replacement, Disney is responsible to pay the bonds not taxpayers outside the physical borders of RCID.
I do not care who replies to this post, I am not listening to you, LA, LA, LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, LA, LA, LA
I’ve noticed that too, it’s almost like they don’t want people to notice they also donate to a lot of these politicians
Excuse me but I prefer to believe my uninformed unconfirmed information thank you.

@peter11435 is certainly not uninformed.
That’s the best way to always be right

I don’t believe RCID’s existence had anything to do with dictating how those funds were spent. Whatever agreements and political power existed that contributed to that arrangement is separate from the Reedy Creek ActOnce RCID goes away, isn't Orlando / Florida free to then spend the hotel tax money on ANYTHING they like, instead of the current agreement that says it must be spent on advertising? Could this tax revenue be redirected to pay the bonds? Would there STILL be leftover funds to improve orange county schools etc?

(Which BTW, seems to indicate to me how "unfair" the Slantial thought this whole RCID guise was...was in 2019... but in 2021, MY GOD they have changed there viewpoint eh?..)
Orlando hotel taxes don’t pay for roads or housing like in other cities. One reason: Disney and Universal’s political power
From the Florida Keys to Portland, Oregon, cities are increasingly turning to tourist taxes as one way to solve problems that come with being a top travel destination. In the Keys, a portion of the…
It surprises me no-one has brought this up. Why do other companies get such a free pass? It seems the media could also do some more digging on the policies other big entertainment companies are funding in Florida.
Haha yeah, good luck getting that to fly. Tourism is still the number 1 industry in the state and travel and tourism companies donate a whole lot of money to local and state politicians. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. No way will these politicians agree to do that.Once RCID goes away, isn't Orlando / Florida free to then spend the hotel tax money on ANYTHING they like, instead of the current agreement that says it must be spent on advertising?

It doesn’t. I think he was just saying that the hotel tax money could in theory be used to pay for the bonds once RCID is dissolved if they went to Orange County. It’s not the best plan, but better than a 25% tax increase for actual taxpayers.
So that means Uni would also be paying for Reedy Creek's debt.
