And GOOD RIDDANCE, Florida certainly doesn’t NEED disney, and I LAUGH WHOLE HEARTEDLY at the concept of Disney corp. trying to find financial backing for a complete and total move out of Florida and to another state 🤔🤔🤨🤨😆😅😂🤣
Brian, what planet were you hatched? Or where you shot out of cannon?
If Disney ever left Florida. It would a place nobody would visit. How much tax revenue do they get from you? It will be at least 80 to 90 percent higher. Disney has been supporting Florida for many years. Walt Disney was a man who dreamed and believed in family values and vacations for families. Please, know off the information you are sharing. It only makes you look bad and Disrespectful just like DeSantass. My dad will be 99 this year. He received many Metals of Honor. Dad fought for our Freedom against a dictator and a terrible man.
Dad received five metals of Honor as he fought in the Pacific Invasions. He spent two plus years in fox holes, walking in areas no man ever returned from. He also received not just one Purple Heart metal of Honor. But two of them to this day he still has glass and scrap metal from a projectile.
So he fought for the rights of Walt Disney. He has been their many times. Dad enjoys watching old Disney movies. So be thankful that Walt’s dreams that will always be there for children of all ages.
Disney will be just fine, while Glorida relies on tourism. It’s tourism which enables Florida residents to NOT have state income tax. Personally, I’d love to see Disney move to Puerto Rico. NASA could move to Puerto Rico too.
I can’t afford it anymore. That’s why Sea World, universal gets all my money. Disney is amazing Amazingly clean. But $1000 for a family of 4 before you even enter the park is madness
R U insane!! U know one of the BEST THINGS ABOUT AMERICA is our freedom to choose so U can choose not to attend!! I agree Disney has definitely changed over the years but I’m certain if Walt was still alive he most likely wouldn’t support some of the changes especially the transgender policies that are allowed to be posted! I am not saying I am against people who choose that or people that are gay (my Godmother is gay) & I have loved her all my life as a mother!! I have always & will forever continue to not judge, I feel that’s for God to do NOT US, however, that being said for me it’s not just Disney there just such a big organization so it makes for a big target!! America has many many people that are from all different religions & again OUR PERSONAL CHOICE OF WHAT WE CHOOSE to believe in! But I don’t understand how GOVT. Can even get involved in issues that are clearly a parents choice on how they CHOOSE to raise their children! I mean if all would use there common sense for one minute (instead of getting so angry so fast) we would all realize how can anything that has God in it CASE N POINT OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM NOT be allowed to be said in any public schools but it’s ok to advise our (your) children at age of five that it’s ok if they decide they want to be a girl or a boy!! Has anyone stopped to think about what so many other countries are thinking of what was once the strongest countries ever! I wouldn’t be surprised if they R just sitting back laughing and waiting as we simply destroy us (America) all by ourselves!! Furthermore, Idk if U live in Florida BUT it is one of the only states left with no sales tax & THATS BECAUSE OF TOURIST REVENUE!! Tell me anyone if Disney happens to leave Florida just how long do U think it will take before sale tax is implemented
“If you feel that it is “up to God to judge” you must never have read the Bible.”
Do not mistaken discernment for judgement.
“Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the LORD are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. –Hosea 14:9
God will judge all! If you don’t understand that then you not only haven’t read the Bible, but likely haven’t even picked up one.
Disney is NOT even close ideologically to what Walt Disney dreamed. It’s disgusting to the moral majority to watch it turn into a celebration of gay ideals. No one in my extensive family goes there anymore
Oh my goodness, aren’t you pleasant? Sounds like you need a day of relaxing and family fun. You could also see how wrong you are about Disney. But if you don’t believe me then please give me your references that show there is ANY truth to your comments that sound pretty hateful. TY
Celebrating Pride at Disney – Life at Disney
Go to disney dot com yourself and see the sickness that has pervaded. They have a man dressed as a woman at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo store for little girls The place has gone satanic and evil
Well said!! I don’t like some of Disney corps choices but at the foundation of it all there’s Walt and he is the dream maker, the magic man and I can’t wait even as an adult for new additions.I don’t even have children and I’m 37 and love these theme parks to make memories every times I go and I live in Ohio and managed to have gone there for the past 10 years.Florida would indeed crumble without Disney
Disney is tacky rubbish. I’d like to see it gone from everywhere. I kept my children well away from it including films and books. It destroyed the wonderful traditional fairytales and folk tales for hundreds of millions of children and replaced them with dreadful cartoon garbage. Unforgivable. As for people not visiting Florida because they can no longer indulge in Disneyworld, surely this is a thing to be celebrated?
Talk to any folkloric or do your own research — stories have multiple versions, they evolve. The Disney versions are just other versions. In the earliest known versions of Cinderella, her slippers were FUR, not glass. Your concern is a tempest in a teapot.
Disney was a family man. Ppl were gay back then too but ppl were afraid to admit it. Check out some medical and psychology journals then you’d know that being gay is not a choice. It’s a choice to hide it or not like the olden days, but that’s where any choice stops. If you read the Bible then you know not to judge. It’s your rt not to go there, but saying that it’s full of gays and thus is a bad place is wrong. Who are you saying is gay there esp saying that everyone is gay? How do you know who is and isn’t? What part of Disney World did you see all of this horrifying ppl that causes you to say this? All movies by Disney are bad, but they weren’t before or they always were in your eyes?
Did you check the stats on what Disney beings to FL? If you did you wouldn’t be implying it’d be better for FL if they left. It would have been great for FL if the state with the 3rd largest economy in the nation would have used a lot more toward roads!
nice try nothing to do with daddy. all about politics not what Disney can or can’t do. diz isn’t going anywhere. if he did Florida will survive like it did before diz and people will move out find other jobs like they did before
I wonder how Walt would feel knowing that the price to visit Disney World is way out of reach. We priced it out twice. $10,000 to fly, hotel, food and tickets for family of 5
He fought for the rights of Disney? How come Disney had rights that no other person had or business? Why were they given preferential treatment over everyone else? That’s not how it is supposed to work now is it?
Jeff, what are you talking about, do you even know the history of Disney World? Well here it is so take your lips of DeSantis’s butt long enough to listen and then maybe you’ll understste just how much smoke DeSantis is blowing up yours.
When Disney bought all that property in Florida, there was nothing there for miles, 10 to 15 miles is what the estimate is. The governor wanted Disney World there because he knew the potential that it offered, but he also knew what it would cost Orange and Osceola counties to run utilities out to it would of cost them millions and that’s just water, sewage, electric and gas. Then it would have cost more multi millions to build the roads, remember, when this all started there was no infrastructure out there, so Disney offered to do it all themselves, and that’ why Reedy Creek was established and why Reedy Creek has a debt load of at least a billion dollars and most tax and legal experts say it’s between 1.6 to 2 billion, and yes, that debt goes with Reedy Creek, which means that after all this time, those two county’s are going to end up paying for all of that anyway, the very thing that the old governor was trying to avoid. Do you know that DeSantis wrote up the bill to devolve Reedy Creek and the very next day, it had passed through both the state House and Senate? So how much research do you think was done on the repercussions of desolving Reedy Creek? If you want to know the impact Disney World has had on Orlando and that area, just look at the 10 to 15 miles around Disney World today !!!
For the record Disney World isn’t getting special treatment as you have been lead to believe, because there are right around 2,000, special tax districts in Florida, one being a very large retirement community that you can bet, DeSantis and his puppet bergade won’t touch, because it a very large area of Conservatives, so do a little research before you spread the false statement that Disney World is getting special treatment. This is all about a group of Christian Nationalist thinking that they should control Florida and all Floridians should abide by what they think and believe and it’s started in the states PUBLIC SCHOOLS, and then Disney World and then, who knows what they’ll target next, anything that they don’t like or goes against their beliefs I guess.
Thanks for the excellent summary! Sure wish the those saying FL doesn’t need Disney and those saying Disney gets too many tax breaks to make it worth keeping Disney would actually know how to research facts! The tax breaks are linked to the development they do with the infrastructure of roads etc that the counties would normally have to pay for. Disney does it MUCH better than any county in the state. Regardless, get very frustrated 😠 when ppl don’t do their research.
nice try nothing to do with daddy. all about politics not what Disney can or can’t do. diz isn’t going anywhere. if he did Florida will survive like it did before diz and people will move out find other jobs like they did before so true
How long have you lived in the US? All your life? How do you not know that corporations get special treatment frequently. Why does our federal government still pay subsides to oil companies? Probably to keep them from moving elsewhere. The oil barons were behind Kennedy’s assassination bc Kennedy wanted to stop giving oil companies $ they don’t need.
Love this comment! My husband served in the Navy and got a metal of Honor. He loved Disney World which is very educational. He was also a teacher after leaving his service. He loved teaching. I love bringing my kid’s there for educational purposes.
I call BS. First of all it is Medal of Honor, not metal of honor. Secondly, “leaving his service” nitpicky but no one words leaving THE service that way. Which is also strange. I would hazzard a guess you are an alt account to the guy above given your grammar and syntax are similar along with your lack of knowledge about military matters.
Another point: I can find no reference to one individual getting multiple MoHs ! There are several sites that list MoH honorees, and none show multiple listings for one person.
You don’t even want to hear about the real issue here. Disney has had a privileged years in Florida that no other business has not even Universal. Disney has been able to do whatever they want without any oversight. That needs to stop and they need to follow all the rules like all the other business in Florida. Once this happens then the monorail can be fixed as there are cracks in the support beans and Disney keeps ignoring it and has not even filled work permits to fix it. Quit listening to the lies out there. Disney needs to follow the rules like all the other businesses and not have a privilege status.
What exactly has Disney done rogue? I first went to DW in 1971, year it opened. We drove through miles of everglades on two lane roads. Next time was 40 years later (gosh I’m dating myself). I could not align this parade of convention centers and hotels and highway traffic jams. I not a fan of Disney, but am curious what you feel they got away with?
Bruh, Disney has lost all touch ever since the Walt family left. The company is nothing more then a greedy shell of what it once was that does nothing but destroy franchises and bleed people’s wallets with their expensive crap.
Do your research on Walt Disney, he was known as the king of snuff porn. Not all it seams. I had no idea born in Florida and been to Disney so many times. Just learning about all this recently. It’s crazy.
Only a handful of people received 2 MEDALS, not metals of honor. I think that you watched too saving Spielberg’s privates too many times. Also couldn’t find any record or dd214 of an Abbott receiving a medal of honor. Wait, did you pay that game medal of honor above and beyond? There was an Abbott character in that. Lol. Stolen Valor
I received 6 meda for gymnastics and ballets while I fought back in the Louisiana bayou and bayonet platune serving twice over seas in the cafeteria and latrine duties for you all and this is the thanks i get well howdya dooty y’all
Correct people think Disney World is just a theme park but don’t realize it’s literally funded local state infrastructure projects. If we lose Disney the billions of dollars in taxes and profits will seriously hurt our state not to mention the loss of jobs. Disney is the center of that last year they had an economic impact of $75.2 billion just for the Orlando area. If you think Florida straight up becoming a retirement state where bigots go to die and losing our tourism industry won’t hurt us you have no idea what the tourism industry does for our state at all. Florida needs Disney way more than Disney needs us we lose them recovering from that economically good luck. Research the benefits of Disney being here before you jump on the governors side because if he wakes up the sleeping giant the working people in this state will pay the price. We don’t have state tax because of our tourism industry we’d be coming out of pocket to cover the lost and I’m not covering up for his mistakes.
Great for your dad but his war fighting really has nothing to do about Walt Disney nobody really cares about his trinkets he received .his war days wasn’t fighting for Walt Disney world 🤣.
You are right. Disney world is for the entire family. You could see people saving their money just to go on vacation with his family and friends. It’s the most desirable place to go.
Didn’t doesn’t support Florida. It was it’s own government until recently. Florida only benefits from Disney because it attracted tourists who spent their money elsewhere too. But now that Disney has gone woke, It’s attraction had faded for much of the public.
At our children’s expense, compromising their inosence and teaching them that what is wrong is right and God was wrong because he created men and women nothing else in between . Disney should pack and leave to a gay contry.
I can’t stand DeSantis but I despise woke Disney even more! All their woke ideology & all of the perversion that goes with that for our children! Evil! Walt was the biggest pedo of all!
First off David im sure you dad was true hero and Walt Disney was a true visionary but I assume don’t live in Florida. Disney was ment for children but childen dont believe in magic anymore and Adult stole that from them took there innocence. For what to offer Disney after Dark there plenty of clubs in florida to drink and misbehave you would not close a school to hold wet t shirt contest at night.
Secondly Hospitality has not been the number one job in Florida for several years now. It is now Tech and growing more ever day which is why Disney panders to adults now and owes Florida hundreds of millions in utilities and they just closed a starwars hotel that cost billions to build for no other reason than no can afford to stay there. Disney has lost touch with it true base as have you no amount of money is worth your States or country soul.
Approximately 137 million people visited Florida last year, about 28 million went to Disney. Im pretty sure Disney’s tax impact is a lot lower than 90%.
Calm down. If you think your dad fought people like Desantis who you claim is evil – he may have served his country but he raised an ignorant kid. So your dad fought fo rthe right for teachers to talk to students about sex – ANY TYPE OF SEX – in Florida -against the will of the parents. doubt it.
I agree with disney closing the entire park permanently..thier concept of allowing and promoting undesirable people to fill once child entertaining positions such as the fairy godmother at the castle by a male or at least he was born a male..he just doesn’t know what he is now..is disgusting..I think disney has turned into a place where the adult male employees are no more than predators of small children..who knows what goes on behind the scenes..The ceo is disgusting and probably a predator himself..shame on disney and I will never visit there again and still hold tickets..I will do all I can to show and tell what a perverse place disney has become..you are going to hell..all of you..enjoy your trip
F Disney. Prioritizing making China disney 1000x better than in its own country. Make China great again and screw Americans. Corporate scum they need a cleansing
Exactly and they have no problem siding with the Chinese ban on LBTQ either they care about them or they don’t! They care about what will fill their coffers don’t let them fool you
Youre probably correct bc of the cost, but other states would LOVE to have them and DeSantis has FL is OPEN FOR BUSINESS but hes hurting FL bc of what he’s doing to Disney. Disney did NOTHING wrong and it’s against the law to retaliate for a business stating an opinion.
Disney brings millions of dollars into FL and even if ppl don’t like Disney for whatever crazy reason, if from FL at least acknowledge what they bring to BENEFIT FL. I laugh at the ones that don’t understand that (most likely bc they haven’t researched it).
I personally don’t like Mickey and Minnie but like their revamp plans in FL (and Cali). Ty
Said the woke liberal! You are all okay with Disney having non-binary workers entertaining our kids? I’m sure you’d love drag queens dancing for them too 😈
Disney has been doing whatever it wants since the beginning. Filling in swamps, building to its own codes, creating their own country per se. Their laws, not Florida laws. And DeSantis isn’t after the Mouse House, just the city they built and govern under their own laws. Stop listening to half truth. Disney is mad because the city they built has to follow Florida laws and codes now.
Apparently Dot, you have not experienced the magic kingdom. But follow the wicked governor instead he is a miss guided dictator who will make Florida broken if Disney move out.
Do you mean that Florida will be as broken as all of the other US states that don’t have a Disneyworld? Good grief! Do you really believe that a whole state ciuld crumble if it lost a pile of garbage such as that which the deplorable Disney has constructed tbere? Florida will be better off without it, and also without the kind of people who are drawn to it.
Yes, you are right.
Disney’s upkeep and codes are actually better than what the state of Florida provides.
Disney maintains itself a thousand times better than Florida does. Florida has toxic lakes of pollution ready to fall apart at any minute. Florida has awful algae blooms that can kill all life. Florida sucks because of cronyism.
I will never go back to Florida except to see the Orion launch and hopefully it’ll be in Texas. Not Kennedy.
Honestly, all businesses should just stay businesses and out of the political news. The problem is really that Disney was set up to be a family friendly vacation. You can still be family friendly regardless of your family dynamics.. nobody has to define what a family is… It seems to me that Disney is going out of its way for the LGBT+ crowd
Al, what is wrong with the LGBT+ human being. God created every one not just selfish cruel humans like you. Don’t judge others. I am sure than can say means things against you. I know I can all. Peace, Love and Happiness not hate, ignorance and you.
In think everyones political opinions should be off social media. It is creating a great divide in our country. It should be a platform for sharing memories and connecting like minding individuals.
They were staying out of politics. They were supporting their employees and customers by saying they don’t support the bill that caused all this to happen. That’s not politics, that’s their first amendment right
You then would be surprised to know that all those commercials you see before elections are mainly from PACs (Political Action Committees). THEY ARE BUSINESSES THAT COMBINE THEIR MONEY TO SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT WHOS RUNNING. The Supreme Court in the Citizens United ruling said that businesses should be treated like ppl (meaning they CAN BE POLITICAL) then went on to rule that businesses can HIDE all that money from the public. Disney did it the HONEST way and should be congratulated. Wish ALL of those donations needed to be public! That’s how you know what the business stands for. Disney has been and continues to be family oriented at their parks, movies, shows, and channel. TY
I wish they would..for all of its tax benefits..it’s just not worth it..move it to Chicago. Then they can add a new land at 0 cost to Disney at all. Best reality land ever. Call it Gangster land. Or maybe it’d be more appropriate if they used Murder land….
WHERE in the world is a legit source supporting your claim? Even IF they did, if you’ve nvr been to a drag show you probably shouldn’t comment. No one complains about very sexual belly dancers or cheerleaders in skimpy outfits. But for comedy it’s an issue? How many times has a kid seen a pg13 movie at age 8 or 10? That should be outlawed if kids can’t see drag shows. Inappropriate should apply to everything then. If you don’t agree, what legit reason would you disagree? Ty
Nope, never again.
I was treated to twice yearly 3 day visits to WDW in Orlando as a child , with my parents and siblings. Every May and November.
When I became a father myself, in 1996, I couldn’t wait to “share the magic” with my son, and we did 6 times for 10 days/ 9 nights, always staying at either THE CONTEMPORARY RESORT, or at THE POLYNISIAN RESORT, spent gob-tons of money.
Now, over the past 5 years, I’ve been learning the “new truth” about this once great American family entertainment icon, and quite frankly, WDW as well as THE DISNEY CORPORATION, will NEVER GET ANOTHER SINGLE RED CENT FROM MYSELF, OR ANY OF MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
We’re all together on this, along with MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of other Americans and others around the world who’s eyes are now open to the true reality of THE HOUSE OF MOUSE.
Sorry Disney Corp., but YOU did this to YOURSELVES, collectively speaking, we’re (the moral masses and parents that LOVE AND CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN have had enough. “THE HOUSE OF MOUSE” has been turned into THE BIGGEST RAT HOLE SEWER in America. We are now season pass holders to CEDAR POINT AMMUSEMENT PARK in Sandusky Ohio, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision.
Let me put it this way…when families with LGB members start avoiding this place is when things will get better. Nothing that they’re (Disney) doing is really particularly “inclusive” which has really turned into more of a virtue signal than an actual initiative to recognize contributions coming from each of us to our society.
So if folks are pulling out of FLA or deciding not to go to Disney, that’s there decision.
I have annual pass that I can only use for 11 months of the year because June will literally become a zoo.
No one wants to go to WDW to see Drag queens walking down main street. You can do that if you want…just don’t expect people to agree with you being that way in front of kids.
If that hurts sensibilities, well, you’ve got something to think about. Parents by and large have said “NO” to this. If some folks are unwilling to respect that, well, that’s yours to deal with.
And to be clear…I don’t mean don’t go when they want to…I mean not going because they recognize Disney isn’t really as inclusive to also recognize the sensibilities of non-LGB families.
If you can’t parse that there are LGB families that aren’t Drag queen shows for children…you’ve got some thinking to do.
I will avoid DW pretty much in june also. Its a shame because I like going there to spend the day walking around and riding some rides and not have to think about the outside world……I dont like it shoved down my throat , let gays be gays , etc ( as long as they are adults) and not push their agenda at any kids…..Thank goodness my kids are grown , keep it out of amusement parks, out of schools and keep kids away fromdrag shows, etc
And that voice should NOT be where families go to enjoy being entertained, not Indoctrinated with a Political Agenda..if they are hurting financially, they brought it on themselves! No one would give two Sh+$ about someone else’s life style until it Shoved in their face and Forced to accept it! Most gays want to live like their lives ‘quietly’ like everyone else and don’t go around like exhitisionisis pushing their lifestyle.
So keep YOUR opinions and slandering words to yourself because that’s All you have to silence the truth in others. Try Reading What Booker T Washington said about People like you who use Racism to Make themselves Important….
Walt said WDW would change, but I do not think it would be because of someone being offended or feelings hurt. Cottleling all of those who want change due their feelings not caring of the majority who like the attractions as they are or were. No I am not sorry if I offended you. Grow up! WDW, stay out of politics, DeSantis, stop your abuse of power! No I will never vote for you.
Another extremely delayed Disney construction project. It’s pretty embarrassing how long it’s taking them to do this stuff when Universal is on pace to build a full theme park in a similar timeline.
I wish that people would at least look at this and stop pretending Disney could move out of Florida (not that the idea makes any sense). It took them 5 yrs to build a copy cat coaster in MK. How long for a full resort area and theme parks with underground tunnel systems? 120 years?
As far as I am concerned saying that it is OK to ban people that are choosing to be gay from using restrooms that are not their gender is totally wrong! And they are like everyone else! Equality is for all! Not to mention that military I thought was not restricting them joining the military! Not to mention that Florida is also saying that it is OK for allowing people in that state it’s OK to carry a concealed weapon without a permit!
I would like to thank you all in advance. My next Disney vacation will be much more pleasant with all you boycotting Disney. If you don’t like it stay home and everyone’s happy.
Disney needs to go back to family entertainment and stay out of politics. All are welcome but not to the exclusion of others. This whole thing has gotten out of hand and turned families away. Disney is too worried about the almighty dollar instead of “guest service”.
Epcot was supposed to be a park dedicated to innovation! What does Guardians of the Galaxy and Moana got to do with that? Disney lost their sense of direction. They are only money and “trend” driven. They used to be my heroes…. they’ve lost me and my family. I hate to think that it will be only money issues that will bring them back to reason. Disney should be a place for fun and entertainment, not social and political education.
Disney should not target one movie theme to one entire area. The villains sounds good, that’s a variety. Maybe even a area focused on the pet characters that everyone loves.. Stitch, Hei Hei,…etc. Maybe a mermaid tank and themed area. More virtual adventure movie rides.
Disney suks now with thier perverse way of presenting thier predators in fairy clothing..I hope you go bankrupt..im glad you cannot draw the crowds anymore..I have heard that much child abuse goes on beneath the streets in thier private tunnels..now its obvious this is true with thier employees in front of the castle with thier mustaches in dresses waiting on the little girls to go behind closed doors..you are all going to hell and I will do all I can to spread the word of your pornographic studios beneath your main street..been there..but will not ever darken you perverse racist park again
The way the prices are set to get into disneyworld my 3year old probably will never experience any of it. Good luck and somebody take video cause that’s the only way common folk will be able to experience it
Ron is a complete nut job and should be locked up in the prison he wants to build next door to beloved Disney. Grow up Ron and tend to your own dark issues and interests and focus on the job the citizens of Florida put you in. You’ll never win by those margins again. Maybe there’s room in the cell trumps going to be in and you both can share your outlandish views and opinions alone with a baloney sandwich!
Go woke go broke the lady with the 2 trans children should be arrested for child abuse the don’t say gay bill had nothing to do with that it was so trans people couldn’t strip in front of kids so if you believe in that crap then you are truth phobic science phobic pagan liberals
Don’t go for a couple of peak times. They need to keep their mouth shut. Don’t trust them with your children. Disney will never lose. So keep you kids close.
I will NEVER go to a Disney anything because they imprison the poor Orcas to a life of slavery.
Their lives are pure torture.
Bent over fins indicative of years of abuse, captivity etc.
But nobody cares.
I would cry to see that animal have to literally jump hoops for food.
Will Walt Disney is ashamed of those who can’t accept this kind of Florida’s state Governor DeSantis directorship. Disney has cut of there own nose to spite their faces. Along with that, like or not other entities are stepping up for a new Disney future!
Go woke go broke! Leave the classics alone and quit trying to change them to reflect your woke views. Disney doesn’t have the creativity to make new woke material so they have to ruin the classics. A very small woke movement should not be allowed to ruin things for the majority masses.
And all the tax write offs it gets!!!
And whwn I come to Florida, I come for the ocean, Sea World, and other things. I do NOT come for disney!! Too expensive for too little joy!
You need a 2nd full time job to take a family of 4 to even vacation there price of tickets place to stay food and if I live out of state plane fare there
Hey Disney, if you can hear me, we just need to find a state run by a governor that welcomes the largest employer and the largest tourist draw, without regulating, legislating and threatening you. A place that appreciates what Disney stands for – in other words, get out of The South ASAP.
Wow, you want to deregulate Disney?
While we’re at it, we might as well do that with every other corporation…
Maybe getting rid of the FDA would be a good start to achieving your paradise.
Let them go! Disney Sucks. A middle class family cant afford it anyway! You are hearded like cattle for 90 minutes, in the sweltering heat, to ride a 3 minute ride! The cost of food, drinks, and merchandise is laughable… and the food sucks if you arent at Epcot! They have made sure that only people that are wealthy can afford to enter the gates. The hard working blue collar family can barely afford to park, much less enter through the gates or any of the parks. They have become “Too big for their own Britches” Go ahead and leave Florida, another conglomerate will move in!!
It’s silly or ignorant to think that a presence like Disney World isn’t needed for Orlando. The amount of money generated by the lil mouse and friends is subsidizing infrastructure and various elements we don’t even realize. An obvious example is in California ( not Cali) where the freeway that leads you to the Magic place is an awesome 10-12 lanes eliminating traffic. Do you think LA paid for this?
Bring it on!!! The more the better! I don’t go. I’m a Floridian. I enjoyed it as a child when average families could afford to go. I could ride space mountain 10 times in a row. It’s definitely an elitist club. So if ya wanna go… Go. !!! If you’re one of those people that are complaining about Disney movies, you’re part of the problem. Stop it. I live in the Tampa Bay area in frequent Busch gardens and SeaWorld and love photos Parks very much! I have no time for Disney for over 30 years. Not worth it to me, but to others it is. Have fun. The entire world is a tourist attraction. Do whatever makes you happy.
Doubling down here, will take down the whole company over the next few years, this wokeness will hurt all there businesses. And they will be replaced, by different smaller companies, that don’t try and “Tell us what to think” but help us learn “How to think”
Is it me or does the park look like it’s had some upgrades because those buildings look to be a lot bigger and a lot more buildings and it looks to be a little bit more spread out than what it was just saying weird stuff’s been happening around the world you know Oklahoma City has new building so popped up overnight so does El Salvador Mexico City Mexico Venezuela Honduras I heard was going to be next and so on and so forth just saying it is something that’s awesome
DeSantis is not only the worst governor in history he’s a horrible human being. He’s driving Florida into a hole!!!@ its becoming a big cesspool with him at the wheel!
If Disney really is looking at a new land, my hopes are on a Disney Villains land. Heard long ago that there were talks about a Villains park at Disney World but it was scrubbed then. Wish it was given a second chance. Sounds like a great new land.
WALT AND ROY ARE TURNING IN THEIR GRAVES TO WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE PARKS I THINK DISNEY SHOULD OF HAVE STAYED IN THE DISNEY FAMILY IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE DISNEY LIKE THIS I GREW UP ON MICKEY MOUSE MY OUTLOOK WILL BE TO NEVER GIVE UP ON DISNEY I WISH DESANTIS WOULD LEAVE THEM ALONE
Comments for Entire Disney World Land Will Remain Closed Indefinitely
Edward Going
Disney should pull out of “DeSantis Land” ASAP.
Brian Collins
And GOOD RIDDANCE, Florida certainly doesn’t NEED disney, and I LAUGH WHOLE HEARTEDLY at the concept of Disney corp. trying to find financial backing for a complete and total move out of Florida and to another state 🤔🤔🤨🤨😆😅😂🤣

Brian, what planet were you hatched? Or where you shot out of cannon?
If Disney ever left Florida. It would a place nobody would visit. How much tax revenue do they get from you? It will be at least 80 to 90 percent higher. Disney has been supporting Florida for many years. Walt Disney was a man who dreamed and believed in family values and vacations for families. Please, know off the information you are sharing. It only makes you look bad and Disrespectful just like DeSantass. My dad will be 99 this year. He received many Metals of Honor. Dad fought for our Freedom against a dictator and a terrible man.
Dad received five metals of Honor as he fought in the Pacific Invasions. He spent two plus years in fox holes, walking in areas no man ever returned from. He also received not just one Purple Heart metal of Honor. But two of them to this day he still has glass and scrap metal from a projectile.
So he fought for the rights of Walt Disney. He has been their many times. Dad enjoys watching old Disney movies. So be thankful that Walt’s dreams that will always be there for children of all ages.

Youre brainwashed. Disney is a commie, racist outhouse full of democrat baby killers and freaks
Betsy
Disney will be just fine, while Glorida relies on tourism. It’s tourism which enables Florida residents to NOT have state income tax. Personally, I’d love to see Disney move to Puerto Rico. NASA could move to Puerto Rico too.

I can’t afford it anymore. That’s why Sea World, universal gets all my money. Disney is amazing Amazingly clean. But $1000 for a family of 4 before you even enter the park is madness
Matty
It’s $109 for a ticket for 1 day. How do you get 1000 before you get in the park? Not being snarky, just curious how you got that number…

R U insane!! U know one of the BEST THINGS ABOUT AMERICA is our freedom to choose so U can choose not to attend!! I agree Disney has definitely changed over the years but I’m certain if Walt was still alive he most likely wouldn’t support some of the changes especially the transgender policies that are allowed to be posted! I am not saying I am against people who choose that or people that are gay (my Godmother is gay) & I have loved her all my life as a mother!! I have always & will forever continue to not judge, I feel that’s for God to do NOT US, however, that being said for me it’s not just Disney there just such a big organization so it makes for a big target!! America has many many people that are from all different religions & again OUR PERSONAL CHOICE OF WHAT WE CHOOSE to believe in! But I don’t understand how GOVT. Can even get involved in issues that are clearly a parents choice on how they CHOOSE to raise their children! I mean if all would use there common sense for one minute (instead of getting so angry so fast) we would all realize how can anything that has God in it CASE N POINT OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM NOT be allowed to be said in any public schools but it’s ok to advise our (your) children at age of five that it’s ok if they decide they want to be a girl or a boy!! Has anyone stopped to think about what so many other countries are thinking of what was once the strongest countries ever! I wouldn’t be surprised if they R just sitting back laughing and waiting as we simply destroy us (America) all by ourselves!! Furthermore, Idk if U live in Florida BUT it is one of the only states left with no sales tax & THATS BECAUSE OF TOURIST REVENUE!! Tell me anyone if Disney happens to leave Florida just how long do U think it will take before sale tax is implemented

If you feel that it is “up to God to judge” you must never have read the Bible
StrengthinChrist
“If you feel that it is “up to God to judge” you must never have read the Bible.”
Do not mistaken discernment for judgement.
“Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the LORD are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. –Hosea 14:9
God will judge all! If you don’t understand that then you not only haven’t read the Bible, but likely haven’t even picked up one.

Disney is NOT even close ideologically to what Walt Disney dreamed. It’s disgusting to the moral majority to watch it turn into a celebration of gay ideals. No one in my extensive family goes there anymore

Well said!! I don’t like some of Disney corps choices but at the foundation of it all there’s Walt and he is the dream maker, the magic man and I can’t wait even as an adult for new additions.I don’t even have children and I’m 37 and love these theme parks to make memories every times I go and I live in Ohio and managed to have gone there for the past 10 years.Florida would indeed crumble without Disney
Alex
Disney is tacky rubbish. I’d like to see it gone from everywhere. I kept my children well away from it including films and books. It destroyed the wonderful traditional fairytales and folk tales for hundreds of millions of children and replaced them with dreadful cartoon garbage. Unforgivable. As for people not visiting Florida because they can no longer indulge in Disneyworld, surely this is a thing to be celebrated?
Betsy
Talk to any folkloric or do your own research — stories have multiple versions, they evolve. The Disney versions are just other versions. In the earliest known versions of Cinderella, her slippers were FUR, not glass. Your concern is a tempest in a teapot.
Shanw
Those poor poor children! I have some of my best memories at Disney World… looking at the castle as the fireworks go off, holding my grandma’s hand 🥰.
Cindy
Disney was a family man. Ppl were gay back then too but ppl were afraid to admit it. Check out some medical and psychology journals then you’d know that being gay is not a choice. It’s a choice to hide it or not like the olden days, but that’s where any choice stops. If you read the Bible then you know not to judge. It’s your rt not to go there, but saying that it’s full of gays and thus is a bad place is wrong. Who are you saying is gay there esp saying that everyone is gay? How do you know who is and isn’t? What part of Disney World did you see all of this horrifying ppl that causes you to say this? All movies by Disney are bad, but they weren’t before or they always were in your eyes?
Did you check the stats on what Disney beings to FL? If you did you wouldn’t be implying it’d be better for FL if they left. It would have been great for FL if the state with the 3rd largest economy in the nation would have used a lot more toward roads!

I wonder how Walt would feel knowing that the price to visit Disney World is way out of reach. We priced it out twice. $10,000 to fly, hotel, food and tickets for family of 5
Elaine McDunnah
I agree , the average family can not afford to go to Disney.

Jeff Brown
He fought for the rights of Disney? How come Disney had rights that no other person had or business? Why were they given preferential treatment over everyone else? That’s not how it is supposed to work now is it?
Michael Capristo
Because of BILLIONS of dollars in revenue? Without Disney Florida is just a place where old bigots go to die.
It's done
I love Florida. But Disney is just a sideshow attraction at best. Been once. Once is enough. Overpriced and overly woke. Let it rust in pieces.
Cindy
Curious, exactly what
is “overly woke there”?
EVERY park at Disney World? Or??
Debi
Boy you sure lump everyone in Florida into one category. How lovely, good thing you don’t live here. We don’t need your type here
Terry
Jeff, what are you talking about, do you even know the history of Disney World? Well here it is so take your lips of DeSantis’s butt long enough to listen and then maybe you’ll understste just how much smoke DeSantis is blowing up yours.
When Disney bought all that property in Florida, there was nothing there for miles, 10 to 15 miles is what the estimate is. The governor wanted Disney World there because he knew the potential that it offered, but he also knew what it would cost Orange and Osceola counties to run utilities out to it would of cost them millions and that’s just water, sewage, electric and gas. Then it would have cost more multi millions to build the roads, remember, when this all started there was no infrastructure out there, so Disney offered to do it all themselves, and that’ why Reedy Creek was established and why Reedy Creek has a debt load of at least a billion dollars and most tax and legal experts say it’s between 1.6 to 2 billion, and yes, that debt goes with Reedy Creek, which means that after all this time, those two county’s are going to end up paying for all of that anyway, the very thing that the old governor was trying to avoid. Do you know that DeSantis wrote up the bill to devolve Reedy Creek and the very next day, it had passed through both the state House and Senate? So how much research do you think was done on the repercussions of desolving Reedy Creek? If you want to know the impact Disney World has had on Orlando and that area, just look at the 10 to 15 miles around Disney World today !!!
For the record Disney World isn’t getting special treatment as you have been lead to believe, because there are right around 2,000, special tax districts in Florida, one being a very large retirement community that you can bet, DeSantis and his puppet bergade won’t touch, because it a very large area of Conservatives, so do a little research before you spread the false statement that Disney World is getting special treatment. This is all about a group of Christian Nationalist thinking that they should control Florida and all Floridians should abide by what they think and believe and it’s started in the states PUBLIC SCHOOLS, and then Disney World and then, who knows what they’ll target next, anything that they don’t like or goes against their beliefs I guess.
Cindy
Thanks for the excellent summary! Sure wish the those saying FL doesn’t need Disney and those saying Disney gets too many tax breaks to make it worth keeping Disney would actually know how to research facts! The tax breaks are linked to the development they do with the infrastructure of roads etc that the counties would normally have to pay for. Disney does it MUCH better than any county in the state. Regardless, get very frustrated 😠 when ppl don’t do their research.
jimm
nice try nothing to do with daddy. all about politics not what Disney can or can’t do. diz isn’t going anywhere. if he did Florida will survive like it did before diz and people will move out find other jobs like they did before so true
Betsy
How long have you lived in the US? All your life? How do you not know that corporations get special treatment frequently. Why does our federal government still pay subsides to oil companies? Probably to keep them from moving elsewhere. The oil barons were behind Kennedy’s assassination bc Kennedy wanted to stop giving oil companies $ they don’t need.
Dr Bob
Disney is now just a pedo-trans loving disgrace. Ideally a sinkhole will swallow up the park!

Love this comment! My husband served in the Navy and got a metal of Honor. He loved Disney World which is very educational. He was also a teacher after leaving his service. He loved teaching. I love bringing my kid’s there for educational purposes.

I call BS. First of all it is Medal of Honor, not metal of honor. Secondly, “leaving his service” nitpicky but no one words leaving THE service that way. Which is also strange. I would hazzard a guess you are an alt account to the guy above given your grammar and syntax are similar along with your lack of knowledge about military matters.

Another point: I can find no reference to one individual getting multiple MoHs ! There are several sites that list MoH honorees, and none show multiple listings for one person.
Truth Seeker
You don’t even want to hear about the real issue here. Disney has had a privileged years in Florida that no other business has not even Universal. Disney has been able to do whatever they want without any oversight. That needs to stop and they need to follow all the rules like all the other business in Florida. Once this happens then the monorail can be fixed as there are cracks in the support beans and Disney keeps ignoring it and has not even filled work permits to fix it. Quit listening to the lies out there. Disney needs to follow the rules like all the other businesses and not have a privilege status.
MelloRabbit
What exactly has Disney done rogue? I first went to DW in 1971, year it opened. We drove through miles of everglades on two lane roads. Next time was 40 years later (gosh I’m dating myself). I could not align this parade of convention centers and hotels and highway traffic jams. I not a fan of Disney, but am curious what you feel they got away with?
Ms Winning
Exactly there’s nothing there but swamps, alligators, snakes, humidity, hurricanes,other reptiles…and on and on.

Only a handful of people received 2 MEDALS, not metals of honor. I think that you watched too saving Spielberg’s privates too many times.

Correct people think Disney World is just a theme park but don’t realize it’s literally funded local state infrastructure projects. If we lose Disney the billions of dollars in taxes and profits will seriously hurt our state not to mention the loss of jobs. Disney is the center of that last year they had an economic impact of $75.2 billion just for the Orlando area. If you think Florida straight up becoming a retirement state where bigots go to die and losing our tourism industry won’t hurt us you have no idea what the tourism industry does for our state at all. Florida needs Disney way more than Disney needs us we lose them recovering from that economically good luck. Research the benefits of Disney being here before you jump on the governors side because if he wakes up the sleeping giant the working people in this state will pay the price. We don’t have state tax because of our tourism industry we’d be coming out of pocket to cover the lost and I’m not covering up for his mistakes.

You are right. Disney world is for the entire family. You could see people saving their money just to go on vacation with his family and friends. It’s the most desirable place to go.

Disney is not what it was and Walt would be mortified if he was here today.

I can’t stand DeSantis but I despise woke Disney even more! All their woke ideology & all of the perversion that goes with that for our children! Evil! Walt was the biggest pedo of all!
Jody
First off David im sure you dad was true hero and Walt Disney was a true visionary but I assume don’t live in Florida. Disney was ment for children but childen dont believe in magic anymore and Adult stole that from them took there innocence. For what to offer Disney after Dark there plenty of clubs in florida to drink and misbehave you would not close a school to hold wet t shirt contest at night.
Secondly Hospitality has not been the number one job in Florida for several years now. It is now Tech and growing more ever day which is why Disney panders to adults now and owes Florida hundreds of millions in utilities and they just closed a starwars hotel that cost billions to build for no other reason than no can afford to stay there. Disney has lost touch with it true base as have you no amount of money is worth your States or country soul.
Kelly Connerton
Approximately 137 million people visited Florida last year, about 28 million went to Disney. Im pretty sure Disney’s tax impact is a lot lower than 90%.
Walt
Calm down. If you think your dad fought people like Desantis who you claim is evil – he may have served his country but he raised an ignorant kid. So your dad fought fo rthe right for teachers to talk to students about sex – ANY TYPE OF SEX – in Florida -against the will of the parents. doubt it.

I agree with disney closing the entire park permanently..thier concept of allowing and promoting undesirable people to fill once child entertaining positions such as the fairy godmother at the castle by a male or at least he was born a male..he just doesn’t know what he is now..is disgusting..I think disney has turned into a place where the adult male employees are no more than predators of small children..who knows what goes on behind the scenes..The ceo is disgusting and probably a predator himself..shame on disney and I will never visit there again and still hold tickets..I will do all I can to show and tell what a perverse place disney has become..you are going to hell..all of you..enjoy your trip

Youre probably correct bc of the cost, but other states would LOVE to have them and DeSantis has FL is OPEN FOR BUSINESS but hes hurting FL bc of what he’s doing to Disney. Disney did NOTHING wrong and it’s against the law to retaliate for a business stating an opinion.
Disney brings millions of dollars into FL and even if ppl don’t like Disney for whatever crazy reason, if from FL at least acknowledge what they bring to BENEFIT FL. I laugh at the ones that don’t understand that (most likely bc they haven’t researched it).
I personally don’t like Mickey and Minnie but like their revamp plans in FL (and Cali). Ty

Disney has been doing whatever it wants since the beginning. Filling in swamps, building to its own codes, creating their own country per se. Their laws, not Florida laws. And DeSantis isn’t after the Mouse House, just the city they built and govern under their own laws. Stop listening to half truth. Disney is mad because the city they built has to follow Florida laws and codes now.
David Abbott
Apparently Dot, you have not experienced the magic kingdom. But follow the wicked governor instead he is a miss guided dictator who will make Florida broken if Disney move out.

Do you mean that Florida will be as broken as all of the other US states that don’t have a Disneyworld? Good grief! Do you really believe that a whole state ciuld crumble if it lost a pile of garbage such as that which the deplorable Disney has constructed tbere? Florida will be better off without it, and also without the kind of people who are drawn to it.

Those Who are standing up for Disney probably spend most of their time in the Bibbidi-Bobbidi store and that’s where they probably belong.
Michael A
Yes, you are right.
Disney’s upkeep and codes are actually better than what the state of Florida provides.
Disney maintains itself a thousand times better than Florida does. Florida has toxic lakes of pollution ready to fall apart at any minute. Florida has awful algae blooms that can kill all life. Florida sucks because of cronyism.
I will never go back to Florida except to see the Orion launch and hopefully it’ll be in Texas. Not Kennedy.
Al
Honestly, all businesses should just stay businesses and out of the political news. The problem is really that Disney was set up to be a family friendly vacation. You can still be family friendly regardless of your family dynamics.. nobody has to define what a family is… It seems to me that Disney is going out of its way for the LGBT+ crowd
David Abbott
Al, what is wrong with the LGBT+ human being. God created every one not just selfish cruel humans like you. Don’t judge others. I am sure than can say means things against you. I know I can all. Peace, Love and Happiness not hate, ignorance and you.

They were staying out of politics. They were supporting their employees and customers by saying they don’t support the bill that caused all this to happen. That’s not politics, that’s their first amendment right
Cindy
You then would be surprised to know that all those commercials you see before elections are mainly from PACs (Political Action Committees). THEY ARE BUSINESSES THAT COMBINE THEIR MONEY TO SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT WHOS RUNNING. The Supreme Court in the Citizens United ruling said that businesses should be treated like ppl (meaning they CAN BE POLITICAL) then went on to rule that businesses can HIDE all that money from the public. Disney did it the HONEST way and should be congratulated. Wish ALL of those donations needed to be public! That’s how you know what the business stands for. Disney has been and continues to be family oriented at their parks, movies, shows, and channel. TY
Tim
I wish they would..for all of its tax benefits..it’s just not worth it..move it to Chicago. Then they can add a new land at 0 cost to Disney at all. Best reality land ever. Call it Gangster land. Or maybe it’d be more appropriate if they used Murder land….

WHERE in the world is a legit source supporting your claim? Even IF they did, if you’ve nvr been to a drag show you probably shouldn’t comment. No one complains about very sexual belly dancers or cheerleaders in skimpy outfits. But for comedy it’s an issue? How many times has a kid seen a pg13 movie at age 8 or 10? That should be outlawed if kids can’t see drag shows. Inappropriate should apply to everything then. If you don’t agree, what legit reason would you disagree? Ty
Vee Vox
I wish Disney would pack up and leave Florida!! How about settling into a land much further North!!
Pearl

Brian Collins
Nope, never again.
I was treated to twice yearly 3 day visits to WDW in Orlando as a child , with my parents and siblings. Every May and November.
When I became a father myself, in 1996, I couldn’t wait to “share the magic” with my son, and we did 6 times for 10 days/ 9 nights, always staying at either THE CONTEMPORARY RESORT, or at THE POLYNISIAN RESORT, spent gob-tons of money.
Now, over the past 5 years, I’ve been learning the “new truth” about this once great American family entertainment icon, and quite frankly, WDW as well as THE DISNEY CORPORATION, will NEVER GET ANOTHER SINGLE RED CENT FROM MYSELF, OR ANY OF MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
We’re all together on this, along with MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of other Americans and others around the world who’s eyes are now open to the true reality of THE HOUSE OF MOUSE.
Sorry Disney Corp., but YOU did this to YOURSELVES, collectively speaking, we’re (the moral masses and parents that LOVE AND CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN have had enough. “THE HOUSE OF MOUSE” has been turned into THE BIGGEST RAT HOLE SEWER in America. We are now season pass holders to CEDAR POINT AMMUSEMENT PARK in Sandusky Ohio, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision.
ML
Let me put it this way…when families with LGB members start avoiding this place is when things will get better. Nothing that they’re (Disney) doing is really particularly “inclusive” which has really turned into more of a virtue signal than an actual initiative to recognize contributions coming from each of us to our society.
So if folks are pulling out of FLA or deciding not to go to Disney, that’s there decision.
I have annual pass that I can only use for 11 months of the year because June will literally become a zoo.
No one wants to go to WDW to see Drag queens walking down main street. You can do that if you want…just don’t expect people to agree with you being that way in front of kids.
If that hurts sensibilities, well, you’ve got something to think about. Parents by and large have said “NO” to this. If some folks are unwilling to respect that, well, that’s yours to deal with.
ML
And to be clear…I don’t mean don’t go when they want to…I mean not going because they recognize Disney isn’t really as inclusive to also recognize the sensibilities of non-LGB families.
If you can’t parse that there are LGB families that aren’t Drag queen shows for children…you’ve got some thinking to do.
Amy Reynolds
Dude, that is the dumbest comment I’ve seen today. Every day is non – LGTBQ day. Get over it! #wokeandproudofit
lorraine
I will avoid DW pretty much in june also. Its a shame because I like going there to spend the day walking around and riding some rides and not have to think about the outside world……I dont like it shoved down my throat , let gays be gays , etc ( as long as they are adults) and not push their agenda at any kids…..Thank goodness my kids are grown , keep it out of amusement parks, out of schools and keep kids away fromdrag shows, etc
Lori S
Sorry for the typos.
JBP
And that voice should NOT be where families go to enjoy being entertained, not Indoctrinated with a Political Agenda..if they are hurting financially, they brought it on themselves! No one would give two Sh+$ about someone else’s life style until it Shoved in their face and Forced to accept it! Most gays want to live like their lives ‘quietly’ like everyone else and don’t go around like exhitisionisis pushing their lifestyle.
So keep YOUR opinions and slandering words to yourself because that’s All you have to silence the truth in others. Try Reading What Booker T Washington said about People like you who use Racism to Make themselves Important….

Walt said WDW would change, but I do not think it would be because of someone being offended or feelings hurt. Cottleling all of those who want change due their feelings not caring of the majority who like the attractions as they are or were. No I am not sorry if I offended you. Grow up! WDW, stay out of politics, DeSantis, stop your abuse of power! No I will never vote for you.

Dennis
Indoctrination was pushed into their heads. It doesn’t happen but go to church and get indoctrinated.
Carolyn
I agree with your description of the comments. They are so hate filled and venomous. I don’t understand how DW brings this out in people.
John
Another extremely delayed Disney construction project. It’s pretty embarrassing how long it’s taking them to do this stuff when Universal is on pace to build a full theme park in a similar timeline.
I wish that people would at least look at this and stop pretending Disney could move out of Florida (not that the idea makes any sense). It took them 5 yrs to build a copy cat coaster in MK. How long for a full resort area and theme parks with underground tunnel systems? 120 years?

As far as I am concerned saying that it is OK to ban people that are choosing to be gay from using restrooms that are not their gender is totally wrong! And they are like everyone else! Equality is for all! Not to mention that military I thought was not restricting them joining the military! Not to mention that Florida is also saying that it is OK for allowing people in that state it’s OK to carry a concealed weapon without a permit!
Wack
I would like to thank you all in advance. My next Disney vacation will be much more pleasant with all you boycotting Disney. If you don’t like it stay home and everyone’s happy.
Dave
Must be nice to have money to burn away.
With their prices I could feed my family for a month

Disney needs to go back to family entertainment and stay out of politics. All are welcome but not to the exclusion of others. This whole thing has gotten out of hand and turned families away. Disney is too worried about the almighty dollar instead of “guest service”.
Ka.
Epcot was supposed to be a park dedicated to innovation! What does Guardians of the Galaxy and Moana got to do with that? Disney lost their sense of direction. They are only money and “trend” driven. They used to be my heroes…. they’ve lost me and my family. I hate to think that it will be only money issues that will bring them back to reason. Disney should be a place for fun and entertainment, not social and political education.
Eman
If you don’t like it don’t go simple answer
Wes
Disney should not target one movie theme to one entire area. The villains sounds good, that’s a variety. Maybe even a area focused on the pet characters that everyone loves.. Stitch, Hei Hei,…etc. Maybe a mermaid tank and themed area. More virtual adventure movie rides.

Are you stoned or just stupid?

Disney suks now with thier perverse way of presenting thier predators in fairy clothing..I hope you go bankrupt..im glad you cannot draw the crowds anymore..I have heard that much child abuse goes on beneath the streets in thier private tunnels..now its obvious this is true with thier employees in front of the castle with thier mustaches in dresses waiting on the little girls to go behind closed doors..you are all going to hell and I will do all I can to spread the word of your pornographic studios beneath your main street..been there..but will not ever darken you perverse racist park again
Denise
The way the prices are set to get into disneyworld my 3year old probably will never experience any of it. Good luck and somebody take video cause that’s the only way common folk will be able to experience it
Ro
Epcot use to be my favorite place to go. Now I just don’t get it
Lexie girl
So tired of the drama! Disney board needs to grow up n stop their childlike behavior!
Dave
Disney is a joke. Period.
Tony
Ron is a complete nut job and should be locked up in the prison he wants to build next door to beloved Disney. Grow up Ron and tend to your own dark issues and interests and focus on the job the citizens of Florida put you in. You’ll never win by those margins again. Maybe there’s room in the cell trumps going to be in and you both can share your outlandish views and opinions alone with a baloney sandwich!
Girl
Smart move considering it’s summer.
90° 90% humidity.
Keith
Go woke go broke the lady with the 2 trans children should be arrested for child abuse the don’t say gay bill had nothing to do with that it was so trans people couldn’t strip in front of kids so if you believe in that crap then you are truth phobic science phobic pagan liberals
warchild
Never have been and never will go to that woke place.
Sands
Don’t go for a couple of peak times. They need to keep their mouth shut. Don’t trust them with your children. Disney will never lose. So keep you kids close.
J R
Not excited, Disney is being exposed, pay attention everyone. Park will eventually be closed completely.
Ann
I will NEVER go to a Disney anything because they imprison the poor Orcas to a life of slavery.
Their lives are pure torture.
Bent over fins indicative of years of abuse, captivity etc.
But nobody cares.
I would cry to see that animal have to literally jump hoops for food.
Ted
Who fukn cares
Jimmy
Will Walt Disney is ashamed of those who can’t accept this kind of Florida’s state Governor DeSantis directorship. Disney has cut of there own nose to spite their faces. Along with that, like or not other entities are stepping up for a new Disney future!
Tommy
Go woke go broke! Leave the classics alone and quit trying to change them to reflect your woke views. Disney doesn’t have the creativity to make new woke material so they have to ruin the classics. A very small woke movement should not be allowed to ruin things for the majority masses.
Jon
Nothing about Disney lately is for children. Everyone complaining is adults wanting adult entertainment. A bunch of narcissistic liberals.
Val
And all the tax write offs it gets!!!
And whwn I come to Florida, I come for the ocean, Sea World, and other things. I do NOT come for disney!! Too expensive for too little joy!
Denese
You need a 2nd full time job to take a family of 4 to even vacation there price of tickets place to stay food and if I live out of state plane fare there
David
Hey Disney, if you can hear me, we just need to find a state run by a governor that welcomes the largest employer and the largest tourist draw, without regulating, legislating and threatening you. A place that appreciates what Disney stands for – in other words, get out of The South ASAP.
Deregulate Everything
Wow, you want to deregulate Disney?
While we’re at it, we might as well do that with every other corporation…
Maybe getting rid of the FDA would be a good start to achieving your paradise.
Frazier
Not one that allows predators access to children though. Certainly not worth the cost of a crumbling Theme Park.
Paula canyon
Never been, never going to go.

Fun
If they don’t change their liberal and sinful ways they can shut down completely.
Leslie M
Let them go! Disney Sucks. A middle class family cant afford it anyway! You are hearded like cattle for 90 minutes, in the sweltering heat, to ride a 3 minute ride! The cost of food, drinks, and merchandise is laughable… and the food sucks if you arent at Epcot! They have made sure that only people that are wealthy can afford to enter the gates. The hard working blue collar family can barely afford to park, much less enter through the gates or any of the parks. They have become “Too big for their own Britches” Go ahead and leave Florida, another conglomerate will move in!!
Herb Jerb
I miss Timon dressed in drag, doing the hula.
Doc
F DeSantis, another political A hole
Karma
Disney is nothing more than child trafficking conglomerate! I hope it closes down forever! Don’t believe me? Research it!
Frazier
They might be in better shape if they didn’t close one of their most popular attractions, Splash Mountain!
MaryAnn
Disney needs to close all so called Parks. The Truth is coming to Light. Soon Come.
YA
The only one remotely similar is six flags and if loony Florida gov keeps acting like a spoiled child no one will build anything in Florida.
Ronald todd
It’s silly or ignorant to think that a presence like Disney World isn’t needed for Orlando. The amount of money generated by the lil mouse and friends is subsidizing infrastructure and various elements we don’t even realize. An obvious example is in California ( not Cali) where the freeway that leads you to the Magic place is an awesome 10-12 lanes eliminating traffic. Do you think LA paid for this?
Kristina
Bring it on!!! The more the better! I don’t go. I’m a Floridian. I enjoyed it as a child when average families could afford to go. I could ride space mountain 10 times in a row. It’s definitely an elitist club. So if ya wanna go… Go. !!! If you’re one of those people that are complaining about Disney movies, you’re part of the problem. Stop it. I live in the Tampa Bay area in frequent Busch gardens and SeaWorld and love photos Parks very much! I have no time for Disney for over 30 years. Not worth it to me, but to others it is. Have fun. The entire world is a tourist attraction. Do whatever makes you happy.

I hate this all I can think about is ppl losing their jobs. I under the other things that are going on and why but I hate this for the workers.
John
How must time is indefinitely?
Seem a little hyped, possibly with a personal agenda.
Pat Lockhart
Doubling down here, will take down the whole company over the next few years, this wokeness will hurt all there businesses. And they will be replaced, by different smaller companies, that don’t try and “Tell us what to think” but help us learn “How to think”
James Hearn
Is it me or does the park look like it’s had some upgrades because those buildings look to be a lot bigger and a lot more buildings and it looks to be a little bit more spread out than what it was just saying weird stuff’s been happening around the world you know Oklahoma City has new building so popped up overnight so does El Salvador Mexico City Mexico Venezuela Honduras I heard was going to be next and so on and so forth just saying it is something that’s awesome
Maria
DeSantis is not only the worst governor in history he’s a horrible human being. He’s driving Florida into a hole!!!@ its becoming a big cesspool with him at the wheel!
Game over
Move All the Homeless in
Give them free Psychedelics!
Carolyn
Dude, who can understand what you are saying? Except for your curse words that is.
George
Terminate Disney for their evil homosexual agenda!
Blesd4evr
Good riddance!
Pat
If Disney really is looking at a new land, my hopes are on a Disney Villains land. Heard long ago that there were talks about a Villains park at Disney World but it was scrubbed then. Wish it was given a second chance. Sounds like a great new land.
Kristopher Nelson
How about moving Disney World to Dallas, Arlington, Houston, San Antonio, or New Orleans?
ANTHONY L MANGIARACINA
