    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I think in our instant knee jerk world it is "'Strange" to remain silent. I did not mean to imply that Disney was wrong for not immediately responding, I think it is a smart move on their part, but still strange in our knee jerk world. My goal was to start a conversation on Disney's next move...

    Disney has been strangely silent on this issue. Why? Are they afraid? - I don't think so Are they preparing to go to court? - Maybe, but courts are very unpredictable and may not be the best course of action. Are the making plans to use other laws to turn this whole mess around and come out...

    I stand corrected. Zoomed in on the map and now clear that Celebration is not part of RCID.

    Yes, you are helping me make my point. "Every Person" including the FL elected officials, and they did it.

    Very good point, I'm going to WDW in a couple of weeks to visit some friends who work there. They have said that many Disney cast members have been very unhappy about where the company has been going for a while now. There has been a series of bad decisions. by upper management.

    It does cross the line, but not a legal one. He had every legal right to say what he wanted. But just because you have the right to do or say something does mean you SHOULD do it. The line it crossed was good business practice, Chapek represents a giant company and his main priority is to...

    Thanks for adding that, I should have noted that tourism was a major point of the video. I'm sure that had a big impact on the initial passage of RCID.

    Just re-watched a very interesting video of Walt himself talking about "The Florida Project". Disney World was never intended to be just a theme park. Yes, a park was planned, but the heart of the project was to the Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow (EPCOT), a true city not just a park...

    The big issue with RCID going away and the services it provided being turned over to the county is the financial impact to Disney. Their control over RCID probably allowed them to control a lot of cost. Govt rarely provide services at the best cost, this will likely raise Disney's cost...

    I keep hearing about Disney's right to free speech and I agree its their right to disagree with the law. I think Chapeks big mistake was vowing to support any and all groups in getting the law overturned. This goes beyond freedom of speech IMO. Chapeks' supporters wish you would forget what he...

    The Colorado governor offered Disney the opportunity to relocate to Colorado. I'm looking forward to watching a parade during a hard Colorado February blizzard. 🥶

    RCID became a target when Disney choose to put politics above what should have been their top 2 priorities, their customers and their stockholders.
