I think the response was his sincere opinion but I’m sure the PR and legal teams vetted what should and shouldn’t be said as a general set of guidelines. I’m sure he didn’t need to be coached on what to say, maybe just reminded what not to say.
Yeah, that would be the biggest driver. They did narrow the loss on the streaming segment and are taking a large impairment on some cancelled stuff. Revenue went up since they raised the prices but that cost them subscribers. Still no clue what they do with Hulu either. There’s a lot of stuff that Disney needs to be concerned with. Parks isn’t one right now.
Splitsville is still there https://www.disneysprings.com/entertainment/splitsville-luxury-lanes/
Convert one of the DS hotels to affordable housing apartments
Also de-annexed Golden Oaks.
The district doesn’t own the DS hotels or the property they sit on.
Also, I think the residents of Golden Oaks might want a say in that second part he mentioned.
Suits are filed, defendants have been summoned, they have a certain amount of time to respond.
Those 4M subs lost are from Hotstar in India in which the average sub cost per person is 50 cents.
On the other hand, I almost respect the amount of rope he's willing to give his opponent.
Disney did for a brief while very early. The airport code was WDS, and it was STOLPort, next to the Magic Parking Lot. Here's a sample brochure of some flights that were previously offered there:
They had an “airport“ for a little while. It wasn’t much more than a landing strip, but it did exist until the 80s. 2 airlines flew little prop planes from Orlando and Tampa to the airport.
Plus it’s not allowed now under the new district if that thing holds up in court.
They don’t really have the space now. The area where the airport was sited in the original master plan was where Celebration is now located. It would have been a convenient location as a jet fuel pipeline does run right next door along I-4.
I guess there is the possibility of a voluntary transfer, but even that would have to get around private contracts with Disney.
What about the Monsanto House of the Future? Or the RCA Home of Future Living?I thought tourism was a key goal of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. I've never seen some housing attract more tourists.
How, in even the wildest contortions of reality, could a no-fly zone over Disney parks be considered to compromise our national security? It’s not like the castle turrets are hiding SAM batteries.
