Disney made a big deal about cancelling their huge planned Florida office campus, blaming it on Ron DeSantis/Republicans.

Actually, Disney blamed it on the Californian flakes & nuts not wanting to move to Florida. The newspapers and talking heads on MSNBC/CNN/FOX are TRYING to blame it on DeSantis/Republicans.

That was the $900,000,000 complex for animation, I believe. This $17,000,000,000 is to increase rides at WDW and/or build new rides. I wonder how much the failed Star Wars immersive hotel experience cost them?

Large capital and maintenance expenditures at WDW have long been needed. Many of the rides there and at its associated attractions have gotten stale and need major work, while the entire complex has been up against capacity limits and guest safety and comfort issues for some time. The park also suffers competition from Universal and Sea World.
