MouseBucks: If Reedy Creek Dried Up

I believe you will now see all future expansion plans at Disney World put on hold.

I doubt that. Disney has so much invested in Florida that it would be corporate suicide to walk away. DeSantis is probably making that same calculation: he can make political points by beating up on “a California company”, with impunity, because of the fixed assets Disney has in the state.

And where would Disney go? A while back I was proposing DIS build another park in the US, as the response to crowding, rather than trying to regulate attendance by raising prices repeatedly. As an alternate location, I was thinking Texas. Saw a cartoon recently, Florida and Texas in a race to be the most extreme wrt repressive laws. Outside of California, I don’t see a state in the southern tier, with the sort of weather Disney needs for an outdoor park, that will not offer obstacles to a company with inclusive policies.
