Nobody is saying it’s doomsday. Disney has a really solid case and if they win on first amendment it’s back to business as usual with RCID classic. If they don’t win on 1st amendment they have an even stronger case on contract law and the development agreement so the new board stays but their ability to interfere in limited but the development agreement. Even if they lose both, DeSantis will have a few years left before he fades into obscurity (anyone seen Jeb Bush lately?). Disney is playing the long game. They will be fine. WDW will be around long after everyone forgets who Ron DeSantis even was.Ok....if Disney DOES try to build a Toy Story ride at Animal Kingdom?...(today, they are dumb enough to) as an AK fan and Joe Rode fan?...then YES...I do hope the district denies THAT permit.
But seriously...they will get the same oversight that they get in every other city they have parks in.
This is not "doomsday" for WDW. Life will go on and they will continue doing what they always have done..which is make tons of money. You and I will keep going to WDW as normal.
You are wrong on the oversight claim. This board is not looking to perform proper oversight. They are looking to punish. They publicly stated in their meeting they would be working to attempt to make Disney pay more local taxes in Orange and Osceola counties by using district resources to fight them in court. That’s not oversight. That’s not the purpose of the special district. The governor has stated publicly he will be looking to develop district land for other purposes. That’s not oversight. Anaheim has never threatened to seize Disney property through eminent domain and build a prison or a competing amusement park. It’s not remotely the same situation.
