    Radical ideology meet real-world repercussions. In retrospect I bet Chapek is wishing he had stuck to his guns and didn’t bend the knee to the radical identity politics agendists in his company.

    1. Cindy

      So you saying its radical to stand up for people whom are part of the community or anyone outside of what you N dummy desantis says is normal! I do not think anyone whose truly is a disney person is normal. If you think this is right then your not a true disney fan.

      1. Jarvis

        No not standing up for anyone but groomers.

        It’s about NOT teaching kindergartners about SEX. Get it? I didn’t have radical left tattooed blue haired multi gendered teachers in grade school. Thank God.

        1. Nelly

          What’s the right wing obsession with “teaching kindergartners about sex?” It’s not something that’s happening is reality, but you freaks can’t stop talking about it. No wonder you’re the party of pervs like Matt Gaetz. Gross.

    Again the gov thinks hes above law signed by president. Its said disney wants to support a community thats more than half their cms and orlando area. This will be seen to many as a wdw problem and blame wdw but guess what its desantis whom always thinks hes right and doesnt care whom he hurts… like those teens he embarrassed and hurt whom he cursed out for wearing masks bc they want to be safe! He used the video btw till someone told him its offense as a platform like or covid is a hoax. Is that wdw fault too no they kept people safe vs you! And then he wants to run for president yes just what we want putin as our president bc a bully and a hater is the same no matter what! Do not blame wdw for your own mess and bc they want to do whats right! I feel bad for all my fellow floridians but proud to stand by wdw!

      Or the fact he was so in people faces about my wife has cancer poor me and my kids cant vaxx but i will go everywhere wo a mask on and make fun of them N the vaccine! I feel bad for his family! My mom has cancer and we stuck by her there’s times we didn’t even leave the house to keep her safe! If we did we masked up. One time we got starred at by someone and laughed at i said i don’t want mom to die but thanks for your concern!

      1. Mark

        Some people are just there are no words! I will pray for your mom!

    2. Thomas

      The way things look, your version of ginger wig wearing Putin could end up back in the white house before long! Sadly, hate is winning all over the world.

      1. Brian Williams

        The only hate I see is from the left aimed at normal people.

        1. Jordan

          I’m sorry, but you can’t say the right has only normal people lol

      2. Jarvis

        Thomas, Hunter Biden must be your poster child for ethics…😀😆😂😂😂

    Did the Florida Senate vote to remove 100% of the other corporate special treatment districts in the state?

    Did they also go after the corporation in charge of the Villages?

    1. Brian Williams

      Did the other corporations decide to help pervert small children?

      1. Jordan

        No corporation is going after small children

    2. Jarvis

      Walt, you are suddenly in favor of large corporations getting special tax breaks, and policing themselves as long as they have leftest, child grooming views? Weird.

  4. Brian Williams

    Walt Disney would spin in his grave at the thought of small children being exposed to sexualisation. There would be NO DISNEY WORLD without Walt. It is typical of the left to take something good, clean and pure, and turn it into something dirty. Leave children alone! Sex should not be something that a pre-pubescent child should consider!
    Anyone who thinks otherwise is VERY suspect.

    1. Geeky

      Hi sweetie. So what you’re doing is something completely wrong and trying to assume what Walt Disney would do. Walt Disney was not a “social conservative” but a capitalist. He was above all, a capitalist. To a point where he would ditch anyone in Disneyland who dared to mess with his creative vision. Because Jesus Freaks (you) would do that in the name of freaky purity and he didn’t enjoy his creativity being stifled.

      But he liked money. Because he grew up dirt poor. And when inclusion made it obvious it would make it easier for him to make more money… He chose California for Disneyland. Do you know why…?

      Because Florida had Jim Crowe Laws. And that was not going to be good for maximum profits. Oh gee…

      It’s like I just peed on your vision of WALT DISNEY, MUH REPUBLICAN SAVIOR.

      He is not the man you believed him to be. He loved money. He changed his company accordingly to make the most profits possible.

      He’d call you an idiot. He’d call Chapek an idiot for not maximizing profits and he’d be screaming profusely about bowing to Russian and China censorship because the man had such a deep fear of Communism that it was laudable if not malicious at points.

      You have absolutely no idea who Walt Disney was as a person and you’ve created a fantasy to help you sleep at night. It’s a fantasy that not even Disney could create.

      Please. Go outside and touch some grass. And maybe delete every bit of social media to save yourself. They’re trying to get you. And apparently they already got you once.

      I can’t even begin to describe how you’ve acquired incorrect vocabulary. Listen, fetch isn’t happening, to use the phrase. You can try to make these words change but you can’t force them. All you’re trying to do is scare the public and it’s not working. It’s not working on me. It’s not working on anyone.

      I am a survivor of sexual abuse. You know how my uncle did it? Because I had no idea what he was doing. So in that, you’re fundamentally incorrect. If I had any anatomical idea of what he was doing, I could have stopped him. I could have had an idea of “bad touch”. So thank you for invalidating my experience and that of many others. You are truly a scummy person. Please divorce this from your bigoted ideas because it has nothing at all to do with sexuality. Because in this, you are making it easier for children like myself to be abused without a knowledge of their anatomy. As for sexuality, it is nothing. It does nothing. Girls like boys. Girls like girls. Boys like girls. Some people feel this way. Wow. It has nothing to do with anatomy.

      Apparently you’re the “groomer” here.

    Chapek has finally done himself in let’s see him recover from this public debacle. Fire bob chapek change.org

  6. D. Duck

    Disney should leave Florida altogether. Let the State’s economy deal with the fallout.

  7. JM

    Conservative Christian voter here. Not registered with any political party. Still very conservative.

    I think cancelling Reedy Creek is a TERRIBLE idea. I get that Gov. DeSantis dislikes that Disney dislikes his bill. But Disney hasn’t sued anybody or taken any action. They literally just said they oppose it. That is fine. They can do that.

    Punishing them for that is too much.

    Not to mention who is going to manage all that infrastructure should Reedy Creek get removed. I really don’t want a government agency doing it. That would make all that nice working stuff not function. It will be a trainwreck.

    It works so well right now because it is a private business managing it. They can do much better than government can.

    This whole thing is nothing short of terrible.

    1. Michelle

      Reedy Creek fire department said for years they were understaffed and begged for more employees. Disney likes to use skeleton crews because of their greed. The news reported that one of the crew members said that woman who recently died of a heart attack would have probably lived if they had gotten to her sooner. They were too short staffed at the time. Hope this is one thing that changes now.

      1. JM

        Not sure about history here, but literally everyone is understaffed right now. I don’t know that we can really blame Disney or Reedy Creek for anything right now.

        I don’t believe the problems are that bad, but even if they are, having government take it over makes me more worried, not less.

  8. Michael

    First you are not honest! There is NO DON’T SAY GAY BILL!! Total Lie by Left Wing Phonies! You fail to mention that close to 70% of Floridians support the BILL preventing SEX TALK to Kids under age 8! So your Lie about GAY is a Ruse! Next Disney will lose the MOST! Reedy Creek is nothing but DISNEY doing whatever it wants! NO OTHER COMPANY in FL has or ever had that PRIVILEGE! No Sir, here is Reality: Reedy Creek approves Construction, Design, Building and more! Disney DOES NOT have to submit plans to State or County for any APPROVAL! They approve themselves! NO TAXES, NO CHARGES whatever Disney wants Reedy Creek Approves!!

    This Misdirection about affecting Orange County? Really! Like the many Cast Members living in Poverty because of the Dirt Wages? Or the Guests that Disney overcharges for Carnival Rides, Dated Resorts with 13 Disney Cable Channels with ESPN and nothing else? Or the Overpriced Low Quality Food with Shrinking Portions but higher prices?

    I have lived in Central FL for over 30 years and watched this Company treat Cast like Servants, Guests like cattle and seen their Dated Attractions that take Years to Build while Universal and Others build in record time!

    No Reedy Creek is the KEY to their Abuse! Now they will be treated like any other Company and their Tyranny in Central FL will end! Sorry but other Companies for years have Complained about how Disney Bullies others and getting their way and unfair treatment! Good for Florida to see this Cheap Behemoth brought down to size! They have Benefited to the tune of BILLIONS at WDW and NO they have not shared with Community nor with Cast!

    1. JM

      Someone needs a little history lesson.

      Universal doesn’t build in recortime,, at least not for most attractions.

      Remember when Terminator closed? We had to wait for two years before a replacement was announced. Not built, announced!

      Meanwhile, Disney announced Guardians of the Galaxy that same year. They broke ground on it next month. They would have finished too, had it not been for a pandemic.

      Someone’s got a little bitterness here. That’s not something I can help you with. And having Disney lose Reedy Creek won’t fix it for you, either.

  9. Michelle

    Doubt JM is a conservative like he says he is. Nasty little paid troll more likely.

  10. TrashPandaOrlando

    Chapek saying he was making it their mission to overturn the law is IMO the main motivation of the senate’s actions.

    Do I agree with what the state is doing? No, not really. I personally feel like it’s an overreaction on the governor’s part.

  11. John

    This is great news! Disney should be treated the same as everyone else in this state!! Why should they have special exemptions? Just think of all the tax money it will generate for the counties! Disney is using their corporate power to destroy this country and push some culture on the world. It must come to an end!

    1. John

      Woke culture….not some

    2. Nelly

      You know taxes are going to go up now, right? Local taxpayers now have to pay for Disney’s infrastructure and emergency services. Good luck with that.

  12. Niklas

    Disney played stupid games and won stupid prizes. Now they’ve lost Reedy Creek. #dummies #WokeBenefits #disaster

    1. Jordan

      And if it actually happens, now taxes will go up. The governor is the one playing a stupid game by getting mad that a business is using their rights to publicly disapprove with him

  13. DeLaunhardt

    Man!!!!………..

    How many times do we have to tell you disciples of the WOKE religion??

    GET WOKE-GO BROKE!!

    How can ANYONE defend an ADULT speaking to A CHILD about ANYTHING sexual in nature being at ALL appropriate? We are talking kids under the age of 8!! So teachers here is your line if a child wants to speak to you about sex or gender: “Maybe you meed to speak to YOUR PARENTS about that…”

    Yes! Grooming IS HAPPENING. Both grooming and somehow some parents think having a “trans kid” is some kind of “status symbol” while some looney teachers and websites online peddle stupidity like “if you don’t like your voice on a recording-you might be trans..” or “if you aren’t comfortable with your body, you might be trans..” What KID do you know is even AWARE of the idea of gender fluidity until some groomer tells him or her about it??…..

    Of course these are the science deniers of the most BASIC BIOLOGY. FACT there are ONLY 2 genders-male and female. THATS IT!! Your chromosomes are either XX or XY. THATS IT!! No matter what the science deniers want you to believe…..you can’t choose to “become” the ‘other sex”-You can cut things off or stitch things on and simply LOOK like the other sex-but your DNA will NEVER change!! By the way…trans people suffer the HIGHEST SUICIDE RATES on the planet. Close to 50% whether or not they ever surgically change. So why should we encourage such behavior?? But, I have ZERO PROBLEM if you want to be “who you are”. Just two things: first do not expect me to indulge in your fantasy-and 2nd and most importantly….JUST LET KIDS BE KIDS!

    And I know this only goes for a TINY MINORITY of insane blue/pink haired teachers out there. I know that a VAST MAJORITY of teachers know and believe the TRUTH behind the REALITY OF THE 2 gender society! Its just that the “wokies” are a SCREECHY BUNCH…..

    As far as the Reedy Creek bill: Disney needs Fla more than Fla needs Disney! Why should Disney continue to enjoy special privileges that NO OTHER COMPANY gets to take advantage of? I say its high time for the mouse to be subject to the Gator!

    And will some of you WOKE IDIOTS stop with the nonsense of Disney “closing shop” and moving elsewhere! Disney is a FOR PROFIT company and not some forum for the woke religion. It is FISCALLY IMPOSSIBLE for them to simply “move” Walt Disney World. So you can drop that fantasy OK? I for one am thankful that the “Imagine” Disney video was brilliantly leaked online so that we can ALL KNOW THE REAL AGENDA being pushed by some of the elites in Disney leadership….

    So please do a Republican a favor and please CONTINUE to push things like this in the WOKE agenda!! PLEASE DO IT!! Because the FACT IS that woke-ism SPLITS the Democrat party and GALVANIZES THE REPUBLICAN party!! So Please!!~KEEP DOING IT!! See how THAT works out for ya at the ballot box….
