As with just about everything else, we can only wait and see. I’m really not expecting any major changes due to this new reality. #Truth As with just about everything else, we can only wait and see. I’m really not expecting any major changes due to this new reality. I agree! Me too! I was trying out my multi quoting too  |

How is the area that Universal is in handled? Same type of appointed officials or is it handled differently? I confess to have paid almost zero attention to all of this.

Either that or someone with a grudge will deny anything and everything that they want to do. Or it's all political posturing and little of any import will ensue.
Cheers.
I am guessing this ^. If this was really a bad thing for Disney they would have tied it up in court, especially since Florida is not applying it to the Villages just north of Disney which has the same special district. Universal and Sea World also seem to be doing ok and they never had a special district. |

I always thought the role of government was to support business and get out of the way so businesses could thrive. This does not seem to be the case here though as government seems to want to take over the role of running business. Which company will be next??
Or maybe large contributions to certain politicians will prevent such actions.

this is the thing that might make me sell my points Wow! Really? I saw similar articles and I'm standing there reading it, getting angry, thinking - am I the only one who sees a real problem with someone being able to hand-pick the controlling members? Put whoever you want in there? Your favorite people People guaranteed to do what you want them to do, no questions Not wishing to turn this into a political argument, I feel like this would be a problem no matter who (or what side they were on) has the power. Isn't this what Disney has been doing for 50 years? As with just about everything else, we can only wait and see. I’m really not expecting any major changes due to this new reality. I agree (we need to find that sign emoji...)  Either that or someone with a grudge will deny anything and everything that they want to do. Or it's all political posturing and little of any import will ensue.
Cheers.
Like most political things. |

It's handled like any other business in the US as far as I know. Same as Disney has to deal with local governments in every other park they own around the world. WDW is the only place they have had any kind of special setup, and now they won't. |

I haven’t followed this too much so don’t know all involved but when reading this thread, first thing that came to mind was now it will be an even field with all the same type businesses rather than Disney having the advantage over its competitors. Actually seems logical that Disney have same rules as Universal, Sea World, etc. |

Actually seems logical that Disney have same rules as Universal, Sea World, etc. It's a bit more nuanced than this. There have been definite benefits to the local areas from this. Both Sea World and USF are kind of thanks to this. Those who over simplify are missing why it was created and what benefits it offered to others in the area even if it meant more toad improvements to the area that paved the way for other parks to get better access and not fighting for time with permits and stuff. Many outlets are echo clambering certain aspects while ignoring others to give a definite slant. With that I'll stop because it leads to political BS I don't want to moderate. Just know this isn't black and white as some try to state. End result is much will not change and given who can be appointed they will be keeping best interest of all in mind, not just lackeys doing the bid of one. |
