I’m curious to know what fair share they weren’t paying? Everything I’ve seen suggests that they have been paying their taxes, and if DeSantis had successfully dissolved the district the way he wanted, Disney actually would have paid LESS.
Honestly, all sides are filled with lies, we need to block ALL currently elected officials from ever running for any office again, federal,.local or state throughout the entire country and start from scratch.
So when Ronnie Boy gives first responders a $1000 ” thank you” for dealing with the mess that Covid brought on ( and then offered signing bonuses to replace burnout workers) its generous, yet when Disney does something similar to thank Firefighters for their continued service , it’s a bribe? Sheep, stop following the wolf! DeSantis wants to fleece you!
DeSantis claims he took on Disney because it had become too woke. Disney was woke for years and DeSantis never objected. In fact, he gave Disney the largest subsidy in Florida history. He also claimed that Disney was getting unfair special treatment with its Reedy Creek District, even though other places in Florida (The Villages, for example) have a similar arrangement which DeSantis hasn’t expressed any interest in changing. He only took on Disney because of a personal vendetta.
Meanwhile, because of certain manufactured narratives around the word “woke” – more lies which DeSantis was all too happy to perpetuate – a certain hard-right contingent has come to believe that “woke” is a bad word even though many of them can’t even define it properly.
These are just SOME examples of his lies, since you asked. As someone else here pointed out, he lies about the lifts in his shoes, but that’s more comical than egregious and speaks to his ego more than anything else.
Dissolving the RCID was the biggest mistake the state could have made. Now Florida, Orange County, and Osceola County taxpayers are stuck footing the bills for infrastructure which Disney paid for 100%. If Disney was smart they would demand the state and County governments pay for road improvements and such. If the governor thinks he’s sticking it to Disney, Disney can easily stick it right back. This entire drama is a prime example of the government punishing for exercising first amendment rights. Remember, the Supreme Court case, Citizens United, gave corporations first amendment rights.
Dan yes for sure this people that move down here think this is little New York well if you don’t like it move back and take Disney with you. So many entitled people coming down here Disney needs to go and take them with you
Dan & Sue, Neither of you have a clue what you are talking about. RCID paid way more taxes than any entity in Orange or Osceola Counties. If you can’t keep up with the facts, you should probably not be voting.
Can you explain exactly what “gravy train” they’ve been riding or what you mean by paying their fair share? They pay over a billion dollars a year in state and local taxes, maintain their own roads, pay for their own waste removal, infrastructure, fire services. You call that riding a “gravy train”?
Disney is the largest tax payer in Florida. How are they not paying their share? DeSantis is causing a huge problem for Florida and he is only about getting his way like a spoiled brat
What desatin has done with Disney is one example of his petty, revengeful actions since taking office. From removing a lawfully ELECTED lawyer to book banning to stopping medical treatment for women and trans teens, he is a menace.
Great try! Your inflammatory post was first, so there’s no reason for me to go on the offensive when you already have. It’s not my job to help you feel better while huddling in your delusional safe space where you believe DeSantis actually cares about Floridians.
Honey, you really need to expand your reading material and the networks you watch. Ron DeSantis cannot stand being criticized. He started his campaign for the Republican nomination for president by attacking a group of people that he personally despises…LGBTQ…then he attacks the programs in education that promoted tolerance and inclusion for everyone…DEI…then he denigrated “WOKE” as something evil…and finally he sign restrictive laws that interfered with women receiving the healthcare that they deserve as adult citizens of this country. So, please…explain why DEI, WOKE, and the right to make your own Healthcare decisions is a bad thing?
This behavior from both sides is like children on the playground.
Disney needs to stay out of controversial issues and attend to their business. There are negatives and positives for your behavior.
Gov. DeSantis should be jailed for his attacks on WDW based on his bad behavior. Ron is a bully and I am embarrassed he is a veteran who fought for freedoms around the world to do the opposite as a citizen. Abuse of power?
we are allowed and corporations are allowed to make statements especially with controversial issues. If its controversial should we all just remain quite for fear of being attacked by our government? when did we all move to Russia and North Korea?
Some “veteran”. He is a lawyer. As such, he should honor the oath he took, both as a lawyer and as a naval officer, to defend and protect the Constitution. That includes protecting the rights of American citizens(which the Supreme Court has ruled includes corporations)to speak freely on political issues. But, DeSantis is nothing more than an infantile autocrat who can’t stand rejection of his desires and policies by anyone.His answer to criticism of his policies is retaliation without regard for the citizens of Florida.
PHIL, YOU ARE CORRECT. I’M NOT A RESIDENT OF FLA., BUT I’M AN A DISNEY FRIEND. DESANTES IS WRONG ON DISNEY. HE NEEDS TO BE ORDER BY THE COURT, YOU ARE THE GOV. STAY OUT OF DISNEY, JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T LIKE THEIR POLICTICS, O WELL, GET A LIFE, STOP USING TAXPAYER MONEY TO HIS WOKE. THE NATION IS WATCHING. AND DISNEY MAY MOVE IF YOU PUSH IT. IT IS YOUR BIGEST TAX, COMPANY IN YOUR STATE. HE IS A FOOL!
DeSantis is a lawyer. So a veteran in title only. I have been very sad to see DeSantis ignore his oath of office and expected better from a veteran. Then I realized he was a JAG officer not exactly a warrior.
hahahaha All of you making comments about communism, fascism, totalitarianism should look to whats happening in Washington DC. Here’s a thought – read the Constitution, read the Federalists and then BUY a clue as to what the role of Government was to be. Iger should stick to his sail boat and get someone else to run the company in a successful manner like Walt did. Iger has run it into the ground (I believe on purpose) and he just continues on. He is one of the most Incompetent and insidious CEO’s in Amerika.
I’m very familiar with the Constitution. Do you even know what the preamble says? Try this on. “ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”. Got that part about promoting the general welfare? I guess based upon your comment you believe all of the drafters of the Constitution were communists.
The fact that DeSantis is specifically targeting Disney, the largest employer in the state of Florida, is a little troublesome. This man would like to be the next President? Who will he target then? Will he just blatantly make decisions based on his “sensitivity” to issues and solutions? Why isn’t he going after Universal, Busch Gardens, Six Flags, because they didn’t say anything? Disney is also one of the largest tax payers in the state and has been since 1976 when they opened up Disney World in Orlando. I just don’t understand why he is going after Disney now, when it was Chapek that made the statement, he is gone and Iger is back. He walked into a complete shamble of a company and is trying to bring it back to where it was, and restore the “magic”. That is not small feat to say the least. He is pulling movies off the docket to be released to re-evaluate them and hopefully begin to rebuild the Disney Walt and Roy Disney had originally built. It is supposed to be the “Most Magical Place on Earth”. They also, as most companies, found the difficulty after Covid to find staffing, which made running and keeping the parks up to par difficult. The inception of the Genie+ system and reservations to go to a park was needed, but not planned out very well – All Chapek’s doing. I don’t think Iger is the one to blame right now, but I also think that we do not know the entire story of Chapek and DeSantis and the background story of why Chapek made the public statement. I am sure Disney did not “authorize” a public comment on the law. That is just my 2 cents, it is not much, but that is it. Vent over.
Sadly Oger put forth the roadmap Chapel had to follow many of the things that came forth during Chapels time were all planned out year prior under Igers reign at the top of Disney. As a shareholder and going to annual meetings much of what Chapel dealt with was laid out many years in advance by Iger and the board. Seems funner Iger stepped down before it all finally went in to place then came back after. Now Desantis is a huge tool and a cry baby. As kids when we played road hockey or batter up etc the kids like him got their feelings hurt and took their goalie net or baseball and went home to cry to mommy. That is how I see Ronny boy acting currently. The guy has no business in politics what so ever.
Can you imagine what a mess our country would be in if a President DeSantis got his feelings hurt by one of our country’s adversaries? We would be at war. He just needs to take his pacifier and blanket and go home.
DeSantis is a very very dangerous dictator. He does not deserve to hold any office– heaven help us all if he were president of this country. Freedom of speech would be criminal !!!!
PHIL, YOU ARE CORRECT. I’M NOT A RESIDENT OF FLA., BUT I’M AN A DISNEY FRIEND. DESANTES IS WRONG ON DISNEY. HE NEEDS TO BE ORDER BY THE COURT, YOU ARE THE GOV.

Looks like a Shepard lost one. Hortler could run for president and yall would flock to him, as you have demonstrated in your love for authoritarian’s sociopaths with napoleon complex’s. Because that’s what you sickos relate to. You’re going to die alone, screeching hysterically on the internet about libtards if you don’t get therapy.
ALL DESANTIS IS A DICTATOR OF FLORIDA. HE PICKED ON DISNEY FOR NO GOOD REASON. IS THIS WHAT YOU PEOPLE WANTED WHEN YOU ELECTED HIM BACK INTO OFFICE.
WHATS NE T AFTER DISNEY
WHAT DID MICKEY MOUSE DO TO HIM
How is that even legal, because he is a crybaby and Disney outwitted the witless? I hope this comes back on him hard. He is an angry little man with lifts in his oversized boots, married at Disney World, lol he is a tyrant, to bad people of Florida can’t see what he is really doing, your kids with he ill-educated and unable to make it in the real world.
Comments for DeSantis Disney District Cuts Off Residents From Services
Beau
Right?! It’s just a dictator, using government to take over business to dissolve true capitalism, while punishing his constituents in the process.
I personally am from the right side… But even I know this is a disgusting government overreach.
