Disney should just move their whole park out of Florida or threaten to do so. Since that is a huge tourist attraction and brings in a lot of money to the state I bet the people would turn on DeSantis pretty quickly and he would have to back off or lose the revenue and possibly his political career .
Desantis wants to take another L. Lol!
Disney should LEAVE Florida!
I dont think he can just do this. They agreed to it. The lawsuit disney will launch will bankrupt the state
It’s good we saw his true nature now – DeSantis has this compulsive need to be “right” even when it does not serve Florida’s best interests. “Just Right obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an OCD subtype that is characterized by ongoing intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors around organization, perfection and making things feel “just right.” People with Just Right OCD experience frequent intrusive thoughts….”
Another mentally ill Republican candidate!
Disney is loved by the World, what a stupid fight to pick.
How Desantimomio es creating his own political death. Are those guys stupid?
beer and entertainment co. caring more about social engineering than making profit . . . play with fire, soon you'll get burned
The mouse is out. Go woke get broke.
DeSantis lost too much weight !
If i was disney id close it down..
DeSantis is so evil, he makes people root for Disney. He's wiling to destroy Florida to appease the hatred of right-wing monsters, imbeciles and lunatics.
Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution provides: "No State shall … pass any … Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts,…" While there are exceptions, this alone will enable Disney lawyers to keep Florida tied up in court for years or decades. All to harass, bully, threaten and attack people who have done nothing to hurt anyone.
Definitely an abuse of power in the Governor's office. Against a family park that brings millions into Florida.
The battle line is drawn, sad that the honorable Walt could no longer voice his opinion about the company's direction. The children just want to have fun, only adults are messing it up.
Hey megalomaniac your no Jesus, ya your effing Elvis. Wash your hands clean of yourself, baby. And step down, step step step down!!!
From Robert Niles' most EXCELLENT website, 'Theme Park Insider' (04/17/23): "And he wants Walt Disney World rides – but not Universal's or SeaWorld's – to be subject to state safety inspections. Current Florida law exempts all theme parks with more than 1,000 employees and full-time safety inspectors from state inspection requirements. That covers Universal, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Legoland. But DeSantis wants to exempt theme parks in special districts from that exemption – an exemption exemption that would apply only to Disney."
I wanted to just have small the santa says manhood is
This is extortion threatening to put a prison on their land disgusting
I' I live in Orlando and no it is not the will of the people. It's the will of the santa's only Disney made a great deal. It should be upheld in court unless of course I knew american taliban supreme court doesn't believe in contracts
Such a weird state. I was legitimately looking forward to moving there at one point but it's just too much fcvk!ng nonsense.
I am not a fan of anything Disney at all, but DeSantis is a lunatic.
This will go to court.
Watch because he wants to pick a fight over his personal feelings, if he gets way just watch our taxes here in Fl are going to jump up even more 🙄 but it’s about the ppl….
Government in florida is meddling too much in their most valuable asset
Typical Republican they love prisons taken away people's freedom the number one priority of the GOP
All Disney has to do is shut down Disney world for a year. Jobs lost, tourism dollars not coming in – Disney has the income to weather it easily. Florida does not. DeSantis is poking a very very dangerous bear here. Disney could easily destroy his whitehouse ambitions.
Move Disneyland to Cuba. I know the people there sure would love the employment opportunity. Look at the upside, fewer murders and no mass shootings.
DeSantis was the awkward kid in school who never had friends.
If I were the head of Disney I’d just shut down the entire business and let the rides and everything rot, I’d let florida lose all the money I bring, it would hurt them not me. If I’m already rich enough for 1000 lifetimes I’d just do that and go on a 5yr vacation sailing around the world or something.
Poor poor Disney. Not like regular people can afford to go there anyways. Good riddance
DeSantis is punishing Disney for not bending to his political ideology. Doesn’t that worry other Republicans? He is violating Disney’s right to free speech. The free speech people, are complaining about free speech. This is just one of many recent issues, as to why I left the party. Anyone that studied history understands why actions like this are very troubling.
A prison? Really? The happiest place on earth next door to the unhappiest place on earth…only a republican could think that is a bright idea and the best thing for Florida. I wonder if Putin is considering water slides at his gulags?
Nothing says party of small government like asset forfeiture
Soooo what’s gonna happen when nobody will come to Florida due to it being a place where FREEDOMs DIE????
There’s a channel on YouTube that discusses reasons NOT to move to Florida. This channel needs to add an additional reason: Governor DeSantos👎.
See how fast the GOP runs to Disney as soon as they pull out of Florida and lose all that tax revenue. I don't think Disney is beholden to Florida. That would be a shocker.
Florida’s new slogan? Where fun goes to die.
LoL DeSantis had on white boots during a hurricane… There's nothing to take serious or be afraid of here lol
Florida just do better lol
so what about the other special districts within Florida? Yes Disney has one, but there are others that aren't being touched.
