De Santis let his ego create a hostile environment for Disney and will cost Florida millions of dollars for many years to come. Instead that money goes to CA. I have to question what his ego would do to us as a Nation should that man become President.
I’ve lived in Florida the last 22 years. I don’t live Disney but if it left. Central florida will be nothing but a swamp the rest of Florida is. To the morons thinking this is OK wait until they leave and you can no longer afford to live there. The govt will always get their money from you.
Wrong He’s so-called deal they pulled out of was already dead on arrival. Iger hated it and was pulling the plug on it no matter what. For these people that say this is the Govs are not being truthful. They are not going anywhere, but they are also not going to act like they are native American sovereign territory either. This woke crap is going to stop. Hello bud hello Target hello Disney… The sleeper or has awakened and we’re not putting up with this anymore we’re coming after everybody that pulls that crap and supports those mentally ill pedophile loving morons
Disney can go to California, just think of all the extra gas it will take for people to get there. And Micky can wear a bathing suit with the tuck feature sewn in. See ya later, people of Florida should not allow them to be able to stay. Throw them out to the curb!
Political grandstanding for a petty vandetta. If the voters of FL want to let their Governor bite the hand that have fed them for decades, then Disney should invest elsewhere.
75 million people from Latin America visited Disney last year. Miami is the main hub for Latin American travel. If you move Disney to Cali you will lose a lot of those travelers who will eventually end up at Universal and SeaWorld.
I voted for DeSantis the first term. Not the second one. DeSantis is turning into a very scary person. And now he wants to run for president? He has been sitting on our federal money for years and has not helped the people of Florida that have been here their whole lives. What he did to Disney in Florida was none of his concern.
What Disney is pulling with all their wokeness is none of their concern. I love Disney but I don’t think they should be catering to any one particular brand of anything. It’s Disney, they should not be involved in anything outside of what they do. People don’t like Desantis because he’s not allowing all the craziness to take over .
You will care when you suddenly have a state income tax because you’re too stupid to understand why we don’t have one today. I’m sure you’ll blame someone else for that too when the day comes because complex thinking isn’t a skill you possess either.
You’ll care when you suddenly have a state income tax because you keep voting and acting against your own interests. Probably Hunter’s fault though, because complex thought is hard.
He’s obviously not got the best interest of Floridians in mind. He’s on a personal mission that does not include the taxpayers opinion. It’s unfortunate as I’m sure people in the Orlando area could have benefited greatly.

Good bye Disney. You are so greedy anyway. The article is written to make Florida remorseful, but it could be the best news as our interstates can be safe again. Go ahead and go to California, it will be extremely expensive, and people there will pay through the nose to go there driving down attendance, get ready for Disney stock to nose dive. Just a bunch BS employment numbers. Disney needs Florida more than Florida needs Disney. Go ahead a take your ball and go home.
I and my family used to meet almost annually (we missed the Covid year) in Florida at Disney. It was a great family getaway with something for all from us old to the young grandchildren. We decided that we will not support a racist disgusting state like Florida so will no longer go. DeSantis has gone crazy distroying the state and has lost my vote. We have decided to go to Disney in California instead. I hope Disney puts all expansion money into California instead. Florida doesn’t deserve to have a Disney anymore.
Lol. So you think Disney land is going to be much cheaper or any better. It’s run by the same people. They don’t care about you, only your money. And since it’s California, more expensive. And who says FL is racist, NAACP? The head of that organization lives in Tampa. Key west has a widely gay population. Key west will be very bust in june, since it will be pride month. So stop you bolstering and enjoy your trip to Disney world with your family
Disney is not very fair to it’s employees, it doesn’t even pay a wage large enough for them to afford basic living expenses. The Florida taxpayers have been supporting Disney’s municipal responsibilities. Lastly their new woke ideology is too extreme to be in a place designed for a child’s fantasy and fun
Wait until they finish all the layoffs first. Another big round just announced. It’s all political. WD don’t care . They just don’t like being told they have to be held accountable now to the state that helped them become so rich.
Disney is not going to pull out of Florida, they decided not to build another campus in Orlando that’s all.
Where are they going to expand in Anaheim? They will have to move people and tear down houses to build anything there. So what’s it gonna be?
Yes they can expand. I’ve seen the drawing for it and I’m familiar with area it will occupy. They certainly don’t have the room Orlando has but it can be done. I’m glad. DisneyLAND is much more magical than Disneyworld. I’ve been to both many times. Walt’s touch is in Disneyland but in Disneyworld it’s sorely missing. The first time I went to Disneyworld I was actually a bit disappointed. It is much bigger, yes, but better? No. An expample: Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland is twice the ride it is at Disneyworld. It’s as if Disneyworld was rushed and is missing a lot of art and details, even 50 years later.
I would shed no tears if Florida was washed away for good. Along with the GOP and Democrats. Real change for this country starts with independents on the debates. Gop and Dems are too chicken**** to work with independents that’s why they control the debates and primaries.
This wasn’t really new news. Many people here have known that this investment wasn’t happening before the feud with DeSantis.
Many Imagineers didn’t want to move to Florida as they had houses and families in California. Some were either going to quit or take early retirement and let Disney know. Plus the housing market in Orlando is still rather tight.
So while Disney didn’t officially pull the plug until now, and maybe they hope DeSantis will think it’s because of him, or the public will, that’s not really the case.
Everyone needs to stop your doom and gloom. Disney isn’t going anywhere. Disney is a business and as such stay out of politics. If everyone thinks FL is unsafe, then leave or don’t come here. Which will be fine with me, I won’t be surrounded by so many useless people when I’m in Orlando during horror nights
Citizens United gave corporations the right to free speech, if you don’t like that you shouldn’t have voted for the conservatives that enabled it. It’s sad that conservatives can’t even see that they did this to themselves.
Blessings to California. Piss on Florida/DeSantis. You might want to Leave Mickey alone 😔 . Once DeSantis is out of office, the people of Florida will have to deal with his antics.
Nobody goes to California most of the country hates CA. Yea go get your car and personal belongings stolen while at Disney CA. Corporate needs to stay out of politics DeSantis will most likely be the next POTUS. I’ve been to both Disney’s a long time ago and can testify Disney CA was a horror show.
Justified anger and not being willing to sacrifice your integrity for money/power is refreshing. Extremist ideas that abandon morality and usurp parental prerogatives – like public schools dictating that young children should be taught that it is okay to decide your own sex – will face backlash from the normally quiet majority.
Disney is simply making cost cutting efforts and at the same time help Newsom with some tourism. California is going broke its a liberal money pit and disney is a liberal moneymaker they belong together. DeSantis is a national treasure.
It seems like desantis is a 1930 1940 mentality with education. Although i do love disney world. Building waltz’s dream of a eutopian modern city could have been built in florida. Though bullies need a lesson and biluilding this city in cali wpuld be wonderful.

We all are going to suffer, big time.
Thanks Governor. 🤬

Why? Less money?

Who gives a rip about Disney anymore? They belong in the evil land on the west coast.
Russ

Ak
This man would destroy the country and divide it even further. We seriously consider moving away bc of the angry governor.
Pete
CA has open arms. Newsome is never controversial.
Jogy
Hahahaha.newsome is a joke. Disney went downhill a long time ago. Nothing but fights there.
Marsha
I agree. It’s become out of reach for the average family. We all are paying taxes- so should Disney.
Linda
Bye bye, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Please make sure to tell everyone how bad it is in FL so that folks stop moving here.

You may want to step out of your echo chamber. When you rattle off that many lies in a row it makes people question your own mental health.

Do you really know WOKE means. Maybe you should read the definition in Webster’s Dictionary. Only. If Your Governor has banned it from being read

I can’t wait until all the Disney world money goes to California.

Don’t worry. They’re leaving and Florida economy/jobs will suffer because of it.

The money to be invested by Disney in a Hotel-Resort in California has nothing to do with Florida.

I feel sorry for Florida and the millions that come here because of disney.

Disney = 🤮
California = 🤮
California has been going downhill in so many ways. Florida is improving. Disney is a better fit to be in California.

Disney is not going to pull out of Florida, they decided not to build another campus in Orlando that’s all.

Very true . Like Disney is going to just pack up everything they have in Florida to relocate . Cmon that’s so rediculous .

I would shed no tears if Florida was washed away for good. Along with the GOP and Democrats. Real change for this country starts with independents on the debates. Gop and Dems are too chicken**** to work with independents that’s why they control the debates and primaries.

Again it has everything to do with Disney Stock going down $110 a share from a high of $203 to $92
Jack
Everybody’s leaving we can’t afford to live in California plus it’s not safe
Ms Winning
And snakes, gators and other reptiles walking the streets is safe. Nope
Kathy
Anaheim, especially near Disneyland is very safe. Can’t have those tourists getting mugged.

Kathy
I’ve been to Disney CA at least 500 times. Horror show? I’ve never had a problem and I stay at Motel Six! 😆

Interesting comment, I’ve lived in California all my life and have never been robbed. Maybe the thieves can smell tourists that hate California.

It seems like desantis is a 1930 1940 mentality with education. Although i do love disney world. Building waltz’s dream of a eutopian modern city could have been built in florida. Though bullies need a lesson and biluilding this city in cali wpuld be wonderful.
