[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this whole story amounts to a political bee sting. By dissolving Reedy Creek, Florida Republicans probably made it a little more cumbersome and expensive for Disney to operate and grow, but — let’s be honest — it’s not that Disney won’t get what it wants. Look at Universal. They’ve aggressively expanded without a special taxing district. And we already know that Disney has no qualms about raising ticket prices to offset any increased business costs.

And while I personally don’t agree with Ron DeSantis on any issue, I see him as a fairly shrewd politician.[b] At the end of the day he’s not going to do anything that jeopardizes tens of thousands of jobs in his state.[/b]

He already did. Word is Disney is looking to reduce its exposure in Florida.[b] They were moving a 2,000 people executive center to Florida….not any more. [/b]It’s just bad political to force companies to attack their customers and employees. [/quote]

I hope you're right, but I goggled and cannot find a source.  What's yours?[/quote]

[[quote] The Walt Disney Company recently announced it would be moving 2,000 jobs to the central Florida neighborhood of Lake Nona. The move comes as both Walt Disney World and Disneyland have reopened and have continued to increase capacity at their respective theme parks. With the reopenings comes the lure of Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebrations starting October 1, and the debut of the all new Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure.

Employees who will be asked to relocate will mostly be part of the Parks, Experiences and Products division who don’t have full dedication to the Disneyland Resort. This also includes some roles that work with Disney’s international theme parks. Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products and other Disney officials have said that the Burbank offices are not completely leaving Southern California, where the film and television divisions of the company are located. In fact, the 2,000 jobs that are being relocated are less than five percent of Disney’s staff in California[/quote]
