I'm a sucker for a photoshop of WDW moving elsewhere. It wasn't until after I posted it that I saw Len contributed to it, so there was at least one actual credible person quoted.I like the picture

WDW can't move out of Florida, BUT....
Disney can open a new Disneyland elsewhere in the U.S. and announce that they will no longer invest in expanding or upgrading WDW while they pour money in a new DL.
That $17.1 Billion dollars going into WDW?... Not any more.
That should send shivers down the back of at least some of the legislature.

I, also Canadian, stood as sign of respect for my “host country”, but did not recite the pledge. Long live the King!Say I somehow attended a meeting (who knows why I would, but it's a fun hypothetical) - assuming they let Canadians in of course - if I do not stand or pledge (cause duh, why would I), do I get run out of the country?

If you were the last public speaker, you did a great job
But I'm sure my Twitter hashtag campaign will surely bend the company to our will!!

Nor should you but it is really touching to see your countrymen finish our national anthem for us when the PA system goes out at events. We could never do O Canada and it showsI, also Canadian, stood as sign of respect for my “host country”, but did not recite the pledge. Long live the King!

Elon's Twitter sure is weird. My hashtag campaign is off to a great start, though!

I've been following the story at WaPo. The comments section is a reminder that a lot of people have a vague notion of WDW. So many people in comments suggest that WDW leave Florida. I think they think it's like Six Flags where it's coasters and flat rides you cane disassemble and move. I think this article is for those people.

The Puerto Rico thing is interesting. They have a former naval base - Roosevelt Roads - that's sitting unused. Disney could make a hell of a resort there, that includes not only theme parks, but even a seaport for DCL. Hell, it already has an airport with a huge runway where they could send flights to.
And given how desperate Puerto Rico is to attract business, for the promise of a Disney Resort, they'd likely give the land away for free, or for absurdly cheap.
Someone quick look at that Marvel contract and see if they can have the Avengers at a park in PR. It’s technically East of the Mississippi but since it’s an island does that count
Disney's filmed plenty in Puerto Rico and Marvel has a Fantastic Four book set in Puerto Rico, so... it's a fun pipe dream.
That's not how a private webpage based in the UK, outside of US jurisdiction, works.
Just wish it was a bit warmer some of the time but I say that more about central Florida

People keep confusing somethings being cheaper for disney to mean the net must be cheaper for disney… else why would they do this?
Somethings can be done cheaper through RCID vs having the company do it themselves… but that is something in isolation. OVERALL - it still is more expensive for disney because they still pay for the majority of public infrastructure things through their taxes and fees… verse splitting the costs with far more other tax payers like in any other situation.
Instead of having no infrastructure and few tax payers…. They have tons of infrastructure with few tax payers.
They get advantages but it’s not cheaper overall by simple math. Disney is paying over 85% of all the money that funds the local infrastructure and administration. What other scenario has a single tax payer covering that much of your budget and you still have an advanced system of public services and infrastructure?
Tax advantages like having rcid fund or own thing doesn’t equate to 80% cheaper!
Disney pays the overhead because they get to control it and manage it how they see fit.
So its possible for it to be more expensive to have this arrangement- while still being a fiscal advantage in certain elements
