I hear what your saying but the state's stance is they have given Disney what no other company in the state of Florida has been given. That hardly falls under the first amendment. I think the timing is very suspicious of course but Uni or Sea World don't have that power. I don't think Disney has much of a chance in court. Times have changed since Reedy Creek Act.
Tucker is a conspiracy theorist regarding his recent off the wall Disney castration theory. I don’t pay him no mind.
Everything will be on the table ranging from less CMs at the registers to cancelling major projects.
It’s not theater, it’s a law. One that is set to have profound negative consequences for thousands of people.
He’s a carnival barker that throws meat to his masses for money…
Will you please give some specific examples of these powers that Disney wields that otherwise hampers Universal and/or SeaWorld?
Yep
The public “rescinding” of it is theater…what happens in court is real/affects the law.
The services would be provided by Orange County and the cost would get socialized to all county residents and businesses not just Disney. Just like the example I posted about the county footing half the bill for a new road to Universal‘s new park. All businesses and tax payers are paying a share of the cost of that road. Same goes for first responders. The fire and police could in theory roll under the larger Orange County departments but that balloons the overall budget. The county gets additional tax dollars from Disney but there’s no guarantee that the tax dollars completely offset the costs. In other words the assumption that this “punishment“ will cost Disney millions and be some kind of windfall for the state is unlikely. RCID operates at a small loss each year so Disney has been pretty much funding the actual costs through tax payments. The citizens of Orange County have the most to risk here but the powers to be at the state level could care less about them. The lawmakers who actually represent Orange County seem very concerned about the impact to their constituents.
That statement is designed to get you to trust this stunt without analysis that shows it actually has been mutually beneficial in Orlando the whole time
I could not agree more! Stick to entertaining and stay out of politics. This whole issue could have been avoided. My wife is involved in state politics, not a politician just involved with some comities in Tallahassee. She tells me the governor is very powerful in this state and he usually gets what he wants.
Yep, true. But a law that won’t survive judicial scrutiny. It won’t ever be implemented, and the politico’s will be able to fundraise off it and say how tough they were.
Disney has never and will not “stay out of politics”
Once again, several persons have made statements that their goal is change Disney’s entertainment content. They’re interested in broader Censorship, not just specific legal activities.
But they haven’t, there’s 1,844 special districts in the state, not just Disney. The reason other theme parks don’t have a special district is because they don’t also maintain a city’s worth of infrastructure. UOR is 500 acres, Seaworld is 200, WDW is 28,000 acres.
The various counties can’t just assume that, they have to start figuring out how to absorb these districts now.
Those other operators also didn’t ask…
Are you're implying that there may not be an answer to Epic Universe?
Implying?
Sad to hear
. We already mentioned the possibility of pulling back on those 2,000 jobs that were supposed to move from CA but not sure if that ship already set sail. Would this potentially impact the operations at WDW directly? There’s no way for the company to “pull out“ of FL since you can’t move a theme park but it would be sad to see them stop investing in the parks there. It’s more realistic to pull back from the cruise business there. Move current or future ships to Galveston or New Orleans or Baltimore.
This current political wave won’t last any longer then previous ones, the pendulum always swings.
