Username and photo from one of the most popular Disney attractions "meh, not a fan"Ghost said his friends weren’t Disney fans, not himself.
I’m still waiting on Wolfgang Pucks ExpressIf the board can bring back Crossroads and FuddRucker's I think we have a deal... oh and Sweet Tomatoes
He can run for a nonconsecutive third term, and Florida has no recall procedure: just impeachment, which given how stacked the legislature and judicial in Florida are, is a non-starter.
I really hope this pacifism doesn’t come back to bite them.Wild.
They're going to fight this as a PR battle rather than a legal one.
Por que no los dos?Wild.

The question to ask them, though, particularly as people that don't normally think about Disney, at all, is - would this change their vote?I have friends that were actually hoping DeSantis would run and would vote for him over Trump that are not huge Disney fans like us, but when talking to some of them about what is going on, even they think he’s going way beyond what he should be doing. One even said (paraphrasing) making a counter statement and firing back against them is fine, but doing what he’s doing is just wrong. So yeah I can see where he’d be losing some support on his own side overreaching now
If Disney can put a spin, turn non believers into believers , preach the truth , crucify the enemy , then Disney PR is there to make it happen.Wild.

One too many “thens.”So then a “not a problem, problem” then?![]()
Good point…my daydreaming always kicks inOne too many “thens.”
There’s no question…I would argue that RCID is just as important to Florida as it is to TWDC. Even if they are too stupid to realize it.
This sounds bad, right?"Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody advised Disney on Thursday that some of its company records could be subject to the state’s public records law and available to any Floridian who wants to see them.
Her letter to CEO Bob Iger came as Gov. Ron DeSantis and his allies work to get more details on agreements between Disney and the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the governmental entity previously controlled by the entertainment giant.
“Those agreements supposedly transfer certain government functions to Disney,” Moody wrote. “I am writing because these agreements may render Disney subject to Florida’s public records laws.”
Her letter didn’t demand any specific records from Disney, instead putting the corporation on notice it may violate Florida law if it withholds information. Disney did not respond to a request for comment.
Members of DeSantis’ new Disney World tourism oversight board say they found “11th-hour agreements” with their predecessors that allow Disney to set its own utility rates, manage future development and review aesthetic changes to the district’s buildings.
Those agreements were between Disney, a private company, and Reedy Creek, a special taxing district subject to Florida’s public records law.
Reedy Creek, now called the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, is responsible for fire protection, planning, utilities and other government services for Disney World.
Under a previous arrangement, Disney effectively controlled the Reedy Creek district because it got to elect the five board members. Now, the governor appoints the board.
The previous board approved the Disney deals just ahead of DeSantis’ takeover of the board.
As a result of the agreements, Disney’s records dealing with “development of Disney-owned properties in Florida, rate setting for utilities and other similar matters” where it “purports to exercise delegated government functions” could be open to the public, Moody wrote in her letter.
“Please also be advised there is generally no attorney-client or work product privilege when dealing with public records,” she wrote.
Moody’s office filed a public records request on March 30 with Reedy Creek but was told no responsive records exist.
Moody sought “documents discussing an intention or goal of circumventing, avoiding, frustrating, mitigating or otherwise attempting to avoid the effects of anticipated actions by the Florida governor and the Florida Legislature.”
John Guard, chief deputy attorney general, sent a follow-up letter on Monday taking issue with the district’s response and broadening the request. He gave the Reedy Creek district until April 24 to respond.
In addition to Moody’s probe, the state’s chief inspector general is investigating. That position is appointed by the governor.
Florida law deems records to be public for private companies that are acting on behalf of a public agency or performing a governmental function. It’s not “clear cut” that would apply to Disney, said Barbara Petersen, director of the Florida Center for Government Accountability and an expert on the public records law.
“It will all have to shake out in court,” she said."

Like or hate Trump, he knows how to size up people.Trump discussing with RonnyBaby about the possibility of being his running mate.
At first when Trump starting to attack RonnyBaby, I did not understand it. NOW I GET IT!
Apparently Trump already knew what we are all now realizing about RonnyBaby.
