But we already have "The Magic."
And, they perpetually suck.
Oh, wait, that's not what you were refering to...

And none of the rest have ever said they would undermine elections, overturn the will of a state's voters, meddle in elections or groom children on every single media platform they hold.

Want to leave the state and set up somewhere else? GTFO and go. Disney won't though. EVERYONE knows it. They're fighting for survival because of their own actions. Only someone siding with what they're doing would defend Disney at this point. There is no other reason. NONE.

Disney needs the laws changed in California as well! Sounds like some of the same ominous language they are using in Florida.


“DisneylandForward is a multiyear public planning effort to update Disneyland Resort’s existing development approvals that will allow Disney to meaningfully invest in Anaheim for decades to come and meet the future demands in entertainment.”

“In the 1990s, the City of Anaheim approved specific plans that would guide the growth of Disneyland Resort and businesses in the newly formed Anaheim Resort area. And while those plans resulted in major improvements to the entire Anaheim Resort, their “traditional” district/zone approach does not allow for the diverse, integrated experiences theme park visitors now seek, severely limiting Disney’s ability to continue investing in Anaheim.”

Problem is California is morally, corporately and governmentaly bankrupt at every level.

I pity the citizens of the state that don't know any better or won't stand up for themselves.

They get what they get, even in the perverse manner they get the middle finger to the foreheads they refuse to even vote for something different to help themselves.

#CALPERS

I betcha Anaheim is shaking in their boots that Disneyland is going to close and they will build a new one in Las Vegas!

Well...the gubment should look at the bright side, they could always make the Disneyland property into a sanctuary city.

Please provide proof of:

1. underminining elections
2 overturning the will of the state's voters
3 Mediiling in the elections
4.Grooming of children on every single media platform they own.

What is grooming? def. Grooming is when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them. Children and young people who are groomed can be sexually abused, exploited or trafficked.

You can't prove your wild accusations.

As to GTFO, FU that trope is getting old. Just because our politics don't mesh and I am at odds with the governor you support- you would have me leave? It doesn't work like that.

Why don't you telll everyone the reasons you told me you moved from Michigan to Florida?

Home town locality rule...


Disney CEO Iger blasts DeSantis: ‘This is plainly a matter of retaliation’


Orlando Sentinal
Disney CEO Bob Iger lambasted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his perceived targeted retaliation against the company Wednesday, saying the continuing feud over the former Reedy Creek district is “not about special privileges, or a level playing field, or Disney in any way using its leverage around the state of Florida.”

Iger’s comments came as Disney reported strong revenue in the division that includes its theme parks. Walt Disney World — the center of the Florida fight — saw an earnings decrease thanks to higher costs even while attendance grew.

He said Disney’s lawsuit filed against DeSantis last month “made our position and the facts very clear:” that DeSantis’ actions against the company were retaliatory for Disney speaking out against Florida’s so-called “don’t say gay” law last spring.

“We operate responsibly, we pay our fair share in taxes, we employ thousands of people — and by the way, we pay them substantially above the minimum wage dictated by the state of Florida,” Iger said. “… Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people, and pay more taxes, or not?”

Responding to a question about investor risk over the issue, Iger said Disney’s former Reedy Creek Improvement District is one of nearly 2,000 special districts in Florida and the others have not seen the same treatment.

“If the goal is leveling the playing field, then the uniform application of the government oversight of special districts needs to occur,” he said.

Iger also refuted the claim that Disney was trying to protect its tax breaks in the fight over the district, which is now overseen by a DeSantis-appointed board.

He said Disney invests in Central Florida as its largest taxpayer and contributed over $1.1 billion in state and local taxes last year, including a significant real estate tax from the district. The company has filed several lawsuits against the Orange County property appraiser in recent years, alleging the office inflated land values.

“We’re proud of the tourism industry that we created, and we want to continue delivering the best possible experience for guests going forward,” Iger said. “We never wanted, and we certainly never expected, to be in a position of having to defend our business interests in federal court, particularly having such a terrific relationship with the state.”

During Wednesday’s financial report, CFO Christine McCarthy said Disney expects increased costs through the remainder of its financial year in Florida, due in part to paying higher wages under a new union contract.

In March, a union coalition representing Disney’s workers successfully negotiated to increase the resort’s minimum wage from $15 to $20.50 an hour by October 2026. Disney’s lowest-paid workers will earn at least $18 an hour by the end of this year.

McCarthy and Iger also referenced ongoing layoffs across the company announced during the last earnings call in February.

Disney plans to cut 7,000 workers as part of a larger $5.5 billion cost-cutting measure and has completed two of three anticipated rounds of layoffs so far. Iger said the company is “on track to meet or exceed” its overall savings goal.

“There’s been great cooperation throughout the entire company, which has been really rewarding … and of course, there’s the reality of headcount reductions, and we’re going through those, but there’s also other things,” McCarthy said.

In the quarter ending April 1, Disney’s Parks, Experiences and Products division reported $7.7 billion in revenue, up over $1.1 billion from the same period in 2022. The division’s operating income was $2.1 billion.

Growth at Disney’s domestic parks was “slightly unfavorable” compared to 2022’s second quarter, and Disneyland’s financial performance was better than Disney World’s, according to a release.

Disney does not release individual parks’ finances. McCarthy said the U.S. parks’ operating income “came in slightly below the prior year but was still up over 50% versus 2019.”

The company’s international parks “were a bright spot” early this year, McCarthy said.

Shanghai Disney Resort and Disneyland Paris had higher attendance and increased guest spending. Hong Kong Disneyland was also open more days this year compared to early 2022, when it closed for most of the quarter due to COVID-19.

“We do expect a really solid year overall for our domestic parks,” McCarthy said. “That being said, we also expect increased costs. … But we think that this is a growth business for us.”

IF you're here trying to reach K-3 (and soon to be expanded!) children with sex on your mind, yes. GTFO, even you. It's sick. I've watched you migrate thread to thread and defend what Disney is doing. I don't know why you cannot see them for what they've said and what they're doing. It has nothing to do with politics either. I get it though, the liberal mindset can't comprehend the Alpha male mindset. You hate DeSantis even though you've admitted he was elected twice as the better candidate. The 1st time you've stated the state dodged a bullet. The 2nd put him against a man that would say he's anything and everything to be elected. YOU still wouldn't vote for a man that kept the economy of this state open and for the most part children in school. I will forever remember his leadership during Covid as the "gold standard" of how to deal through a pandemic and you wanted to force vaccinations, mask mandates and everyone had to hide in their homes.

Robert, I've been all over the globe and stepped in 47 of our states. Some were extended stays like Tennessee with the Saturn plant and Texas where EDS called HQ. They wanted me to move there so bad, it was only the GM account that kept me from making that move. I've lived in Michigan, California, Virginia, Florida, Kansas, my ex wife had to move back to Michigan to be near mommy (and the state had an exclusive insurance coverage for children with disabilities) and FINALLY back to Florida. I call Florida home because I love it here. When I spent close to 14 years in Michigan late Sept-early Oct to April-May living in that hellhole was unbearable. Never see the sun, grey skies, no leaves and and the grass is brown. It's depressing AF. Almost every day the weather report would come on and it would be oh, let's say 17 degrees outside and in Central Florida it was 81. Same day. You'd have to be some kind of sadist to want to live up there. I get why people do, some like that weather, family and work...I get it. I couldn't reconcile that though. I already knew what was there because I'd already lived there before. It was only when my ex in-laws finally retired and my ex wanted to follow the umbilical cord and move to the state I call home. I always have and always will.

You and I simply see the world with two diferent collor-tinted glasses. But, otherwise, we have similar values. That Is all. I love it here too, but probably for just a few different reasons, and have no plans to leave either.

Bob called and told me they are not going to relocate Walt Disney World.

He was just kiddin... 😟

DeSantis keeps getting his ass kicked by the mouse. They are 10 moves ahead of him, he is a fool.

Spey are you coming back here to cause trouble again?
Are you like Robert who refuses to see Disney's agenda as grooming children into the LGBQ+++ religion?
Do you have a pair of LGBTQ Rainbow Mickey Mouse ears?

I heard this kid has been BANNED FOR LIFE from Disney World (AlLeGedlY) for wearing a T-Shirt that says the unthinkable.

Show me proof of this, not mere, unsupported allegations you have read about in some stunded, right-wing drivel.
Proof or ther is nothing to discuss.

Where have you been Robert? "Unsupported allegations"? "right-wing drivel"?
We've known about Disney's grooming agenda for some time. You didn't come across it?

The shocking things that come out of the mouths of LEFTIES! They just can't stop themselves from bragging.

Disney Executives Admit: Of Course We’re Grooming Your Children

Disney Supports the Transgender Grooming of Young Kids, Endangering Families

Disney Ends Plans to Relocate Thousands of Employees to New Florida Campus

Move comes as company is cutting costs, reversing moves by previous CEO and fighting with Florida


WSJ
Walt Disney Co. ... has ended two major investments in Florida amid a high-profile dispute with state lawmakers and Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The company is reversing course on a nearly $900 million investment in a new corporate campus in Florida that would have relocated more than 2,000 employees, mostly from its theme parks division, to the town of Lake Nona, outside Orlando.

Separately, Disney is also closing its Galactic Starcruiser experience at Walt Disney World, one of the company’s most expensive attractions where visitors are immersed completely in a “Star Wars” adventure for days. Disney didn’t respond to questions about what date it might close.

Josh D’Amaro, head of Disney’s Parks, Experiences and Products division since 2020, said the Lake Nona project is dead. In an email to employees Thursday, employees will no longer be asked to relocate from Southern California.

Hundreds of employees from the division have already relocated to Florida, and will be given the option of moving back, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Lake Nona initiative, which contemplated a capital investment by Disney of up to $864 million, was the brainchild of former Chief Executive Bob Chapek, who was fired by the board in November and replaced by Robert Iger, who had previously served as CEO from 2005 to 2020.

“While some were excited about the new campus, I know that this decision and the circumstances surrounding it have been difficult for others,” D’Amaro wrote. “Given the considerable changes that have occurred since the announcement of this project, including new leadership and changing business conditions, we have decided not to move forward.”

The changing business conditions include both job cuts and growing tensions with Florida lawmakers and the state’s governor, according to people familiar with the matter. Disney is in the midst of reducing head count by 7,000 and slashing $5.5 billion from content and administrative budgets.

The company also is embroiled in a war of words and a legal battle with DeSantis, who last year criticized Disney for publicly opposing a sex-education bill that he had championed.

In April, the governor sought to take control of Reedy Creek, a special tax district that allows Disney to essentially self-govern the land that includes its theme parks and hotels near Orlando by replacing the district’s board with a handpicked slate of allies and seeking to cancel a 30-year development agreement that Disney had struck in February.

The moves prompted a federal lawsuit from Disney. At Disney’s annual meeting in early April, Iger announced that the company plans to invest $17 billion in Florida over the next decade and create 13,000 new jobs, and called DeSantis’ attacks on the company “antibusiness” and “anti-Florida.”

The cancellation of the Lake Nona project comes as local government and tourism officials in Orange County, Fla., have been touting the project as an important driver of investment and job growth.

Danielle Hollander, chief marketing officer at Visit Orlando, the city’s official tourism association, in an interview Monday cited the project as evidence of Disney’s commitment to Central Florida alongside other projects, including the debut of a new roller coaster at Magic Kingdom theme park and new attractions being built at nearby Epcot park.

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings told the Journal on Monday that he believed Disney is “too big to want to fail in Central Florida.”

“They want to certainly see a state of Florida that is supportive of their investment,” said Demings.

Disney had struck an agreement with Florida officials that could give the company $570 million in tax breaks over a period of 20 years following the construction of its new campus in Lake Nona.

Those incentives were contingent on Disney bringing high-paying jobs to the region. The Orlando Economic Partnership had estimated that the average salary of the positions Disney was relocating to Florida at $120,000 a year.

The jobs set to move from California included hundreds of Imagineers, the team of green beret engineers and designers that was created by Walt Disney himself to design theme-park rides and other attractions, but also thousands of support staff in technology, marketing, communication and finance roles, according to people familiar with the matter.

When the relocation plan was announced in 2021, it caused an uproar among the parks division’s employees in California. Members of the relocating group called on company leaders to speak out against Florida legislation limiting classroom discussion of gender and sexuality. After then-CEO Chapek criticized the bill, DeSantis called the company a “woke” corporation, escalating the tension between the two sides.

In a November town hall meeting with staffers a week after returning as CEO, Iger said he would revisit the relocation plan.

“This was not an easy decision to make, but I believe it is the right one,” D’Amaro wrote in the email Thursday. “We are committed to handling this change with care and compassion. I remain optimistic about the direction of our Walt Disney World business. We have plans to invest $17 billion and create 13,000 jobs over the next 10 years. I hope we’re able to do so.”

The article is not about grooming. It is not about anything sexual at all.

Just some gay characters children might see and that scares you.

Those non-sexual characters reflect REALITY in society as opposed to the way YOU want it to be.

All you have to do is not watch it.

Your concern for the majority of us is noted and unneeded.

obviously you aren't reading what both of us put up. THEIR WORDS...THEYRE GROOMING CHILDREN.

I'm glad they're not moving more of their garbage to Florida. The state will be just fine without more of the soon to be laid off Americans only to be replaced by H1B1 visa slugs from $hithole countries.
