Error in article, banned businesses included bowling alleys. I recall a location ( Splitsville ) that you could go bowling, drink and eat by AMC at Disney Springs years ago.

I thought that applies to CFTOD building those things, but Disney can.

“I’m proud to reintroduce my bill, the Airlines Independent of Restrictions (AIR) Act, in the 118th Congress to revoke Disney’s special no-fly zone privileges,” said Congressman Nehls. “Theme parks like Disney should not receive special treatment just because they are well-connected. Our national security should not be compromised to fit the needs of one corporation.”​
​
“Woke corporations shouldn’t get any favors from the government,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “The FAA has no business granting a no-fly-zone over Disney parks. Universal Studios, Hershey Park, Six Flags, and other theme parks don’t have no-fly-zones over them, and it’s time for Disney to get the same treatment. No corporation should get preferential treatment from the government—especially when it is grooming children. Go woke, go broke.”​

You'd think these people would have better things to do with their time. To be clear, I don't think Disney deserves this particular privilege when other resorts don't have it (even if I, as a guest, am personally grateful for it), but I deplore the use of the issue for ideological point-scoring. The vindictive intent and disgusting rhetoric underpinning this anti-Disney campaign are beyond the pale.

There are still flight restrictions over stadiums above 30K capacity during sports events. Maybe the treatment needs to be all theme/amusement parks are no fly zones.

Rep. Troy E. Nehls Reintroduces Airlines Independent of Restrictions (AIR) Act - Nehls

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) reintroduced the Airlines Independent of Restrictions (AIR) Act, a bill that would direct the Secretary of Transportation to rescind the two “no-fly zone” Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM’s) over Disneyland and Disneyworld. Disney is the...

This is the bill in question.

The no-fly zones are about security, not about creating a privilage for Disney.

I see that they are both very conservative, still pretty new House members. My guess is that this never even makes it out of committee.

I'd also like to add that the "no-fly zone" over WDW (that doesn't even go over DHS btw), you can still fly through there, you just have to let the FAA know what you are doing, companies do it all the time

It's a little bit of both.

There is a commercial benefit for Disney to limit that traffic... but there was also a security reason as well. The security one is justifiable, but could be scrutinized for relevancy. The 'uniqueness' aspect vs other parks is not something that can be analyzed purely by comparing companies, but should include the actual issues of where something is, the threat, and the viability.

The commercial aspect is far more interesting to Disney to keep control over the bubble. The security aspect should be independently assessed.. and is something the FAA and it's oversight should be responsible for. Not stupid FL congressman.

Anecdotal, I noticed that during HEA several weeks ago. I saw a plane flying right over Cinderella Castle and it wasn't an airliner at 30,000 feet either.

Presents have been ordered. A little thing from Tiffany, a comparable amount of money from the Tiffany thing spent on Tulips (she loves Tulips), lunch and drinks somewhere on property...

...and she's sleeping in the guest room the night before so she can sleep in without worrying about our baby.

He does a very good talking about what is obviously an extremely frustrating problem. It's interesting how listening to Bob, it is all common sense. When you listen to DeSantis' comments, it is quite the opposite.

He did give a compelling and professional response, but he undoubtedly had talking points in front of him as approved by PR and especially legal.
