Even the 100% paid for us Supreme Court isn’t likely to uphold laws written after that fact to mess with private enterprise

Well genie+ and lightning lane still suck
If the blowhard wants to hurt Disney why not cancel those and force every business in the district to offer free FP+
A top Republican billionaire donor has stopped plans to finance DeSantis’ presidential run over his authoritarianism, and he claims others are doing the same. He specifically mentioned DeSantis’ book banning and abortion actions. I’m sure his anti-business actions with Disney won’t be any more popular with big money donors.

It could be but that just makes it worse, I wish one of his advisors would show him this post… “sir, you are now being compared to California…” maybe that would open his eyes to how far off the rails he’s gone.

It would be really embarrassing for DeSantis if this got to the Supreme Court and they rule in favor of Disney/RCID, which they probably would if it did. I wonder why he is still continuing to pursue this. Disney has nearly unlimited funds and resources, and isn't on a political timeclock.

I’ll play along on the safety inspection issue. Given some of the issues the smaller parks (ICON Park) have had as of lately is the state board even equipped to do this?
I’m not against Florida creating a similar Cal OSHA inspection regime… But if done correctly this: 1) should apply to all large theme parks in FL; 2) most important have a demonstrable fiscal note and funding allocation to hire new staff FTEs needed to perform these regular inspections. Otherwise you’re just spreading existing resources thin and risking safety at smaller parks when the additional levels of safety inspections within RCID will just be duplicative (where Disney will maintain their existing standards).

True, but I don't think California is really hiding that they're pro-regulation

If they were renters, I don't think so. Flamingo Crossings (DCP housing) sits on RCID land, but is considered Winter Garden.

Good question. Assuming they can find some suitable land to build on within city limits, I believe it would grant those residents voting power. There's already a sort-of "workforce housing" regime in place right now, except in this case, at least presumably, it would be open to more than just the people Disney selects to live in it.

Who is going to pay for such housing?
It's considered unincorporated Orange County with a Winter Garden address.

The middle is lost in all of this, and we wonder why so many people don’t vote in this country.
Once again I’m left dreaming of a European style election with a half dozen parties of varying ideologies rather than the horrible 2 party system we have.

There are, lots of them. They just don't get the attention and unfortunately are outnumbered at the primaries when most people don't vote. As an example, DeSantis just lost a large number of high level donors over his recent exploits. Hopefully they retake control of the party one of these days.
Edit: Just saw someone else mentioned the doner thing as well. Gives me hope that rational people are out there and willing to actually work towards something instead of the endless "grievance" politics.

The RCID map says it's "unincorporated RCID", and when you leave the WDW sign on Western Way and keep driving towards Flamingo, there's a sign that says "Entering RCID", the trash cans under the pedestrian bridges say "RCID" as well. Is it not considered RCID? I'm just wondering

One has to assume DeSantis truly believes what he claims that he does.
If that is the case, I’m not sure it is totally driven by a desire for increased power.
If he truly feels children’s lives are at risk by being taught about sexual matters before the 3rd grade, and a major company in the state is actively attacking / pushing against his view that it’s dangerous, then it is only natural for him to react the way he has.
Compounded with the snarky response of the company and the legions of defenders of it, one can see how it would only lead to further tensions.
Is DeSantis innocent here? Absolutely not, but neither is Disney. They are just as much culpable in regards to what has happened to this point as he is.

I would love to get rid of the two party system because they are both ran by $ and personal benefit, not common sense or for the people

It is, but if it's outside of of a municipality, it's considered an unincorporated part of that county.
