He did not care that Disney is getting special treatment until Disney criticized him. What a crook DeSantis is.

Disney represents 10's of millions of tax dollars and jobs to Florida. Its a major part of their economy. You dont ever bite the hand that feeds you.

Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis addressed on Thursday the suggestion of repealing a 55-year-old state law that allows Disney to effectively govern itself on the grounds of Walt Disney World, following the company’s public opposition to a controversial parental rights law in Florida.

"What I would say as a matter of first principle is I don’t support special privileges in law just because a company is powerful and they’ve been able to wield a lot of power," DeSantis said during a press conference in West Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday.

Disney has been engaged in a war of words with Republicans in Florida leading up to Monday’s signing of the controversial bill, which prohibits classroom instruction on "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" with children in third grade or younger "or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."

DeSantis referenced a bill reining in big tech that Republicans were working through the legislature last year when Disney added a "carve out" at the "11th hour" for theme parks.

"I’m thinking to myself, ‘This is ridiculous,’" DeSantis said. "Honestly, it was embarrassing."

DeSantis continued, "I think what has happened is there’s a lot of these special privileges that are not justifiable, but because Disney had held so much sway, they were able to sustain a lot of special treatment over the years."

DeSantis said that Disney has "lost a lot of the pull that they used to have" over the company's reaction to the parental rights law and said he thinks that’s a "good thing for our state because the state should be governed by the best interest of the people."....

....DeSantis’s comments comes after Florida State Rep. Spencer Roach tweeted that he has met with legislators to discuss repealing the self-governing law in response to Disney’s recent actions.

"Yesterday was the 2nd meeting in a week w/fellow legislators to discuss a repeal of the 1967 Reedy Creek Improvement Act, which allows Disney to act as its own government," Roach tweeted. "If Disney wants to embrace woke ideology, it seems fitting that they should be regulated by Orange County."

The property of Disney World is larger than the city of Sham Francisco. Where is Disney going to find that much land to open an alternative park where the residents of the state support grooming children in grades K-3?

Disney is now making their money off foreign tourists. You can show up and buy tix but they are no good without "park reservations" It's now a place for rich people.
Most people I know that work there or retired from there are done with the Mouse

A family vacation to can be very costly, one of the most significant expenses being park tickets. That may lead some visitors to wait to buy their park tickets until they arrive at Walt Disney World.

Yes, you can buy Disney World tickets at the gate. However, you probably should not do so, and we strongly recommend against it.
The main reason to purchase tickets for your Walt Disney World vacation ahead of time is so that you can make park reservations.

Park reservations are required for admission to all of the four theme parks. To enter a theme park, everyone in your family must have a valid ticket and a reservation. You must also have your tickets to make a reservation.

The risk of not buying tickets ahead of time is that there may be very few if any reservations remaining for that day when you arrive at the gate. If that happens, you and your family cannot enter the park and will have to make other plans for the day. That would be a massive disappointment for most families. Luckily, it is easily avoidable.

Disney is like going on one of those huge cruise ships only you have longer lines, further walks, and pay more for everything.

It's also shitty hot swampland. With no ocean breeze.

I shit you not, a couple days ago several people said "I heard you were in Orlando now"..and I'm I'm like.."Now why would I do that?"

It get hotter and more humid, and they don't even get an ocean breeze and only have 5 roads after everything.

They understood what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Yeah, no. Fuck you. Sexualizing children is evil.

It should have been until 9th grade, because that's when puberty hits.

Until at least 7th grade, children should be allowed to be children with no sexualization whatsoever.

Anything else is robbing children of their childhood, and that's an egregious offense to humanity.

The more authoritarian and oppressive DeSantis becomes, the less likely he'll ever be President. I hope he burns Disneyworld to the ground. :rofl2:
