So far, this Iger Retreat is not much more than words and feelings about other words.
We shall see what he does when the lefties demand a corporate response to the next conservative move that someone like De Santis makes. Those angry Blue Haired Trans-Ladies will be rattling the Disney Gates, expecting Iger to fold again, but this time, their way.
That’s all well and good. Expect the deep state to play as dirty or more as they did to Trump
Can’t do as much by EOvas one would think
DeSantis has his own issues with the Disney special district situation. Disney currently has over a billion dollars in municipal bonds out there, and if the district was fully dissolved that debt would revert back to Orange county. It’s estimated that the counties property tax bills would go up 25% or more overnight. Additionally, Orange county would be responsible for all the municipal services that Disney now provides such as fire/EMT’S, 911, building inspections, fire marshal, sanitary inspections, etc. That would push up Orange counties debt even further. Look to see Disney and Florida quietly and unobtrusively hammer out a deal to let WDW to retain some portion of their autonomy in exchange for some concessions on particular issues. I’m a follower of the parks and the hue and cry for Chapek’s head began when he botched this situation. Iger in many ways is no less woke than Chapek, but he’s much more diplomatic and intelligent. Chapek at the time of his departure was almost universally reviled by parks customers and Dis employees alike.

He was sorry to see Disney dragged into that battle? Disney picked that fight with DeSantis. Disney was not dragged into the battle , Disney chose that battle.
I know facts and language don’t mean anything to certain liberals, but this one seems glaring to me. Disney corporate wanted that fight against DeSantis, to show that they are liberal on homosexual issues. It is absurd to say that somehow they were dragged into a fight they did not want to have. They chose that fight and they chose poorly.
The increase in property tax would be paid by Disney, they don’t get those services for free…..
There are plenty of private properties that are not special exemption areas that provide their own security, emt services, and fire protection.....
. every refinery in the country has their own of each of these services, and none have special tax exemptions....
. why should any of the Disney properties be treated differently?
if he can turn Disney Corp., then he can take a giant step toward reclaiming 20th C. American culture. God’s speed to him.
DeSantis: more Reaganesque everyday.
Here is an old Trump supporter that now backs DeSantis. Time to move on with a younger generation and De Santis is the one to take charge.
Of course, he was speaking to his woke employees when he uttered those contradictory words.
Iger will soon discover, when it comes to some modern cults, such as with many Trans, there can be no King Solomon treatment, where ‘both sides’ get something and give something. The Trans want it all, every time and in every way. They don’t wish to share any power or make any accomodations. Their greed and their vanity will be their (cultural) undoing as influencers. People will simply get tired of the unfairness and illogic everywhere they look.
Because they lost money and power, not because they did wrong.
*** Disney dragged into that battle? Disney picked that fight with DeSantis. ***
Retreat is not surrender.
Liar. Learned something from the muzzies.
So DeSantis can take on Disney, but can’t rid Florida of RCV-enabled voting machines, early voting, and mail-in voting?
Okaaaay...
Saying something then doing it are two different things... Pretty much the definition of 99.999% of politicians.
Yep.
I agree. That isn't going to stop--so.
