As ever, "it's called that because you've gotta be asleep to believe in it."
So there is a really great Disney podcast called the Disney Dish, they had a few lawyers weigh in on how this would go...   They said something like "this is like a bunch of 5 year olds playing basketball against the Harlem Globetrotters" 
In reality DeSantis isn't trying to win he is just using this to get donations for some crappy presidential campaign. >

This seems like a good way to get the biggest corporations in the world to donate to the opposition. >

Exactly. This makes absolutely no sense to me. Why would a private corporation willingly donate to someone pulling this kind of bullshit? Seems moronic on DeSantis' part. >

He's messing with the mouse. You never mess with the mouse. >

Correct me if I’m wrong, but now Florida tax payers will have to pay to maintain roads and infrastructure and other things of that nature that a private corporation was previously paying for? Isn’t a corporation paying for its own infrastructure the conservative dream? >

And take on a billion dollars in debt. >

Owning the libs aint cheap! >

They might have to cut back on bussing migrants around, though... actually, who am I kidding. That's like one of his biggest policies. Cruelty to migrants. >

It’s a small world after all. >

Ron's a small man after all... >

He is actually quite fat. Not that there is anything wrong with that. >

His is a POS though >

Big government conservatives at work. >

I’m noticing no discussion of this over at /r/conservative >

Yeah they hate proof of truth. >

They bury their head in the sand while their own party directly works against the interests of this country . They’re now supporting Russia lol >

Small government  lol. >

"DeSantis' government takes control of Florida business to protect Florida from Communism."
Fox News headline writes itself. >

In other news Disney buys out Murdoch empire...
Follow Up Story, DeSantis is ruining Florida, more to come shortly. >

Don't fuck with the mouse 🐭 >

i think that it's not really appreciated just how much this is true
i fully see desantis ending up a footnote in the history of incorporated floridisney >

If there’s one thing that DeSantis loves more than performative virtue signaling it’s wasting taxpayer dollars on frivolous lawsuits all in the pursuit of the 2024 nomination. >

I thought it was dressing in drag and telling himself that people love him in front of a mirror. >

Good old Rhonda Santis. >

I just fell over laughing at reading this comment. Brilliant.  I also think you are on to something.  Florida’s drag queen Gov. >

I'm glad to spread the cheer, but I certainly can't claim credit for it :) >


The Reedy Creek district handles 911 calls, fire protection[...]

Out of Eeerything in your excerpt, this stands out to me a bit. Assumung this goes through, is there any reason an unscrupulous individual in charge wouldn't...delay...fire service to the park if a fire were to...spontaneously...break out? 
It just seems like the kind of heavy-handed tactic thugs like DeSantis might utilize. >

The golden goose is land use and building permissions. 
An anti-Disney board can easily tie up park and infrastructure developments indefinitely, and effectively strangle the park. >

That new rollercoaster just doesn't fit the character of the neighbourhood that's were trying to go for here. >

"It's not in keeping with the village's rustic aesthetic." >

Frankly, I don't care if Disney is self-governing or not.  But the fact they want to do it simply because Disney is not politically aligned on social issues show just how fascist Florida is becoming. >

I wish to God that the owner of Disney was as petty as Desantis and shut the park down and took bids from states to build a new park.
Shut the park down and let the state sink into debt >

Beginning work on a new park would be an easy way to spite DeSantis but Disney World is well over $10 billion in value and the options for lands with as much non used space for Disney to buy up is pretty limited >

North Dakota is full of flat land of basically no value.
Edit:North Dakota is the best choice. There's no argument. Stop trying to ruin my plans with logic and sensible decisions. >

But the park would have to basically close for winter 😕 >

They could do it like Japan where they have an overhead snow structure covering the walking paths. >

I don’t think it gets to -30F in Japan with -52F windchill lol. Japans average wind speed is around 7-9 mph, North Dakota is around 25mphs. It’s not uncommon to get 30-40mph sustained winds there. Mix those winds with snow and the flat, open land (very minimal trees there) and any snowfall basically quadrupoles in the places the wind blows it. It’s not uncommon to get 6ft+ snow drifts from 12 inches of snowfall.
-Edit to clarify, I was mostly referring to the region in Japan where Tokyo Disneyland is located. There are regions in Japan that get really heavy snowfalls but this location is not one of them, they average 0.2 inches of snow a year. >


-30F with -52F windchill, 25mph winds

Settlers really said "yup, this is the place!"... >

European settlers were largely propagandized. State officials sent out pamphlets and wrote in newspapers talking up North Dakota and how people could come and be prosperous. People were sold the American Dream.
