Disney World cancels Brightline train station at Disney Springs
https://www.wptv.com/lifestyle/trave...ation-canceled
The multi-million dollar project to expand Brightline to Disney Springs has been canceled, a representative with Disney confirmed to the Orlando Business Journal on Monday.
The train will now travel directly from International Drive in Orlando to Tampa.
Disney spokesman Avery Maehrer released a statement saying the "new route configuration does not support a Disney Springs station and, as a result, we don't anticipate being part of this project."
Brightline announced its agreement with Disney World to build the train station at Disney Springs in November 2020.
"Late last year, we were asked by several community leaders to explore alternative alignments for our planned expansion from (Orlando International Airport) to Tampa," Ben Porritt, Brightline's senior vice president of corporate affairs, said in a statement to WPTV. "The original plan called for a single station at Disney Springs. Along with a broad range of stakeholders, we have identified a solution now known as the Sunshine Corridor, which contemplates two new stations and integrates Brightline's intercity service with SunRail, through an east-west expansion.
Porritt said one station will be at the Orange County Convention Center and another will be near the Disney Springs, although not on Disney property.
"Taken together, the three integrated stations provide access to the largest economic and employment centers in central Florida and offer the best opportunity for the success of Brightline and SunRail," Porritt said.
The high-speed passenger train currently has stops in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.
You know what else is really hilarious about this whole thing? The fact that Chapek just got a three year contract extension for basically saving Disney $1B in taxes.
Well done, DeMoron!
You cost yourself Orlando-area votes, you got the Disney CEO a 3 year contract extension, you gave them a $1B tax break that the people in the Orlando area have to now pay for, and Thor is still super duper gay.
DeSantis may not even win his election this November! LOL!

DeSantis now wants to remake Reedy Creek... BEFORE IT DISSOLVES!!! From my understanding, he will have to pay Disney some money to get them to agree.

Reedy Creek will remain the same other than it’s name. DeSantis will insist the name be changed so he can save face.
Not sure if DeSantis was dumb enough to believe he could take it from Disney without costing Florida Taxpayers and his approval or if he was just duping Trumppers and always knew Reedy Creek wasn’t going anywhere?!?

You are 99.99% correct. It will have a different name... And will no longer be allowed to have its own nuclear plant (which it never wanted). DeSantis will be forced to pay Disney a few hundred million for their trouble, but Disney will lose a few billion in investors confidence. Everyone will be worse off.
Then again, Disney is rebuilding. After Florida gets rid of DeSantis, it can start rebuilding too.
They honestly think the force of their emotions will cloud out everything else. It is sad.

I voted for Biden, because I honestly thought he would be good for the entire country. trumpers often say they voted for trump to get revenge on most Americans. they believe trump will punish American. It is all based on hatred.
So they are also happy about DeSantis attacking Disney. They want to destroy a major employer that provides entertainment for children. We are at that point.

All these faggot monkeys on page 1, where are they now? They finally realize we told them the truth when we said obiden was a junky dixiecrat?
Desantis/disney issue. Anyone really care about disney? They're more guilty than epstien of the same sht. Not hyperbole and not a fully grown 17yo hooker either. Besides the famous child whores disney pimped world wide, lohan, spears, etc. there's also recent citations. Seemed someone didnt like getting bumped off toy story.
Sandusky was drilling the corries ages ago. To be plain, the only people that still think disney shouldn't be shut down for good are faggot monkey namblacrats and dumoclese....
I do not give the first fuck what republicans hang out in california. Nuke it now.
