I think that if Disney will decide to pull stakes and leave Florida for say, S.C

[question everything]

It will be Florida loss. Think of all the tourists money and jobs.

I hope that Disney does raise the possibility.

[TreasonousBastard]

1. And Florida's betting that's a lot of stakes to pull up

[underpants]

2. They aren't leaving Florida

They’ve only used about 20% of the land Walt bought with fake companies. The whole infrastructure in Orlando is built around the Ears.

[Girard442]

3. Disney might have no choice.

Not sure I'd enjoy a theme park where every attraction has been vetted by the extreme right and the Evangelicals.

[RKP5637]

4. Yeah, and you're certainly not alone. n/t

[BlueTsunami2018]

5. There's no way they're leaving Florida.

They’ve invested billions upon billions in real estate, infrastructure and so on. You can’t just recreate Disney World in another place. My bet is that they tie all this bullshit in court and use their massive media power to oust DeSantis.

[Dorian Gray]

6. There is no way. They've invested way too much into that florida property.

[hlthe2b]

7. Why would Disney move to another state just as regressive politically as Florida?

Given the history and the politics of SC, that makes no sense to me whatsoever.

[ZonkerHarris]

8. hahahaha thats funny. You did mean this as a joke?

[raccoon]

9. If they come to upstate SC I'm going to move.

If they come to upstate SC I’m going to move.

Too much traffic already.

[Sherman A1]

10. They are not leaving Florida

They have battalions of lawyers to deal with that pesky government thing.

[Grokenstein]

11. Disney doesn't have to actually leave.

Just close up for a few months.

You either fight Mob Boss DeSantis or you capitulate to him.

[DBoon]

12. they may not leave entirely, but they may expand elsewhere

[FBaggins]

13. Zero chance of that happening

1 - Massive hit for the company
2 - SC is redder than FL. You really think they won’t pass similar laws
3 - it’s far more than the parks. They need hotels and airports and infrastructure.
4 - they aren’t going to plow under the existing parks. If they leave the state… the parks get sold for fire sale prices and a new company takes over.
5- Millions of people then decide whether the name brand matters to them

[Marius25]

14. I just can't see Disney leaving. They have too much

infrastructure invested in Florida.

I'd love to see it happen though, although I wish they'd pick a blue state.

[SoCalDavidS]

15. Too Much Reefer On 4/20 Will Make You Believe Such Fantasy

Disney is as likely to leave FL as TFG is to be indicted.

[Nevilledog]

16. Gov. Polis invited then to come to Colorado.

[WarGamer]

19. So it's a 4-6 month amusement park?

[Nevilledog]

20. I didn't suggest it was viable. I think it's more pointing out a blue state would welcome them.

[hunter]

17. When push comes to shove Disney could buy Florida.

As much as I loathe giant international corporations, that could be a good thing.

[FBaggins]

29. Not by orders of magnitude

Disney is nowhere near that big.

[hunter]

30. We can dream.

I trust Disney lawyers are looking at the math.

[WarGamer]

18. Why do you think SC would be more "friendly"??

[question everything]

21. Just an example of a warm climate. As opposed to Minnesota..

Perhaps i should have said Kentucky, at least it has a Democratic governor

[WarGamer]

22. I can see Georgia turning BLUE before FL or SC.

Disneyworld outside of Atlanta would be nice... maybe Build it in that park with the Confederate Mountain?

Use demolitions to alter the mountain to show images of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Cinderella?

[Septua]

23. I don't know what DeSantis is trying to do beyond...

..being like Trump, keeping some kind of shit stirred up.

But Disney World has been good for Florida.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. The infrastructure in Orlando is too much to leave

[mackdaddy]

25. They own ABC. Just run anti-republican commercials and investigative reports every day.

Just overwhelm the SOB GOP with stories. They do not even have to lie, just tell the brutal truth.

The could even buy Fox and really beat these people.

What is the old saying about don't pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel. Now that buys tv stations by the network...

[Buckeyeblue]

27. Disney owns Fox...just not the news part. And ESPN

The irony is that Citizens United let's Disney spend as much as they want against not just DeSantis but against or for anyone they want. Republicans are feeling untouchable right now but we all know how quickly politics can change.

[JI7]

26. They won't leave Florida. But maybe they will finally stop contributing

to Republicans. And if employees or others think this doesn't help them they might stop voting Republican.

But I'm not sure what exactly the details of this thing is.

[KWR65]

28. Disney has too much money invested in Disney World. It would cost them billions of dollars to move.
