At this moment it may seem like the end of the "world" but let's all hope, this is just a bump in the road for WDW and Florida.Moving DCL wouldn't necessarily have a negative impact on its Financials- especially if the state continues trying to find ways to punish Disney since DCL could be a potential target for petty vindictive interference.
Not building more WDW hotels isn't necessarily "neglecting" WDW, either - but if the state is going to continue to seek out ways to cost Disney money then perhaps that money is better spent in places where they won't have to mount legal battles to build and won't face building inspectors who could potentially care more about pleasing the governor and his handpicked CFTOD board than actually making sure the building is up to code. Those added costs, delays, and headaches would alter the cost-benefit analysis when choosing between multiple options and locations. They could simply save any WDW projects for a time when a reasonable board is in place at CFTOD, which may be several years down the line if Disney somehow loses the court case.
My hope is that WDW and Florida can safely get past the "DeSantis era" this becomes just a footnote in the long and successful partnership between WDW and Florida.
