You are more optimistic than I am on this. The ride inspection process works well now. I feel safe.
Yup. And, I would expect Disney to keep doing exactly what it is doing today, regardless of some external entity also doing inspections. For two reasons. First, Disney likely has higher standards and views safety as a marketing advantage. When you're in the bubble, you're not supposed to need to care about much. Second, no company wants an external regulator to be the one to find a problem. All of them always want the external inspection to find nothing.

I don’t want to see an unqualified board take ownership of ride safety. I have been saying since day 1 that I wouldn’t stop visiting FL or WDW over this feud, but if they really take this action I’d have to think long and hard about returning to WDW. I am not planning a visit this year anyway so I have some time to consider but I can get my Disney fix out in CA if I need to.
This gets to other post. The unqualified board is incentivized to find issues. The threat of finding issues is how they apply pressure to get their way. If they require changes to pass their inspection that actually make the ride less safe, that would clearly create a problem. If they just report that stuff isn't safe, that creates a problem no matter if it's true or not.

Picking on you (just because, not really picking). You wouldn't think about changing your plans based on the vast majority of political statements Disney may make. Conversely, the thought that Disney may not be safe, and you're ready to contemplate not going. A behavior that is likely very common.

I can't wait to hear how the same people that were complaining about a lack of affordable housing prior to this press conference are against DeSantis' suggestion for more workforce housing.
More affordable housing sounds great. Are you really supporting a Governor forcing a private business to construct affordable housing on the land they own? Should Universal have to cut the size of Epic Universe to add some condos too?

I doubt you'll find anyone against the idea of affordable housing. It would be nice if that was his actual focus, not targeting a company that hurt his feelings.

I think the simple answer here is that your using logic and rational reasoning to make decisions and predict outcomes. Do you believe that the Gov is or has this just become a personal vendetta against the Mouse?
I agree. I think he's betting any long term FL impact will take until after the presidential election.

That's the bet. Can he trash Disney and make operating the theme park harder, which if successful will eventually lead to less guests going to the theme park. Less guests will have impacts to the local economy. If that impact takes 18+ months, he doesn't care. If that impact takes 6 to 12 months, the FL economy will be tanking at exactly the wrong time.

That either is bad for FL is never a concern.

I'm just encouraged that he's willing to hold something in public. I was starting to think he couldn't do anything that wasn't behind closed doors......
