as you well know, it went way beyond 'commenting' - they vowed to get the legislation overturned.
And every company who hires or get business from anyone who is not a heterosexual- should stand behind Disney. At best make the law more specific and detailed. That I would support. DeSantis should get the lawyers to tweak the bill or amend that law instead of sending our tax paid lawyers to help Elon with his Twitter takeover.
Almost 1/2 of all Disney guest are Florida residents. They'd lose a lot of revenue if they moved. Also it would cost Disney about $6 billion to rebuild Disney World in an other location. They'd also have weather issues that would cut into their bottom line. As for Moving to Puerto Rico, not gonna happen. it's a 1200 mile flight from Miami To San Juan.
since Disney is a public company, what would the Board and shareholders say about expending billions to pick up and move from an established location?
most politicians are going to position issues this way.
Clearly, if Disney doesn't pay any taxes now because of this district, then they would be paying taxes as "just another landowner" in the given counties. Disney would have to fund the municipal governments of Bay Lake & Lake Buena Vista (Disney-owned towns) beyond the services and taxes of County-level Orange & Osceola(?).
Much more information on the tax-paying and services provided within the Reedy Creek district are needed beyond the ongoing POC pissing matches.
Or they could sell to developers and see what you get. Good luck to anyone who doesn’t side with the Governor.

it's about 510 miles from MIA to SJU.
But it would take Disney at least a decade, and an unmeasurable investment, to make PR work, just from its own shoddy infrastructure.
Or is not heterosexual and OWNS a business in Florida, like my very successful brother and his partner.
And that’s great , congratulations- I’m talking to those that are inclusive of everyone like hospitals - lowes- Home Depot - the malls - restaurants- bars etc in Fl. Your brother does not need to hire or work with anyone- that’s his choice. If he is with DeSantis on this, it’s a free country. I respect that 100% - even if don’t agree. We have our right to be free.

A lot of people with large families drive to Disney. It's simply too costly for many American families to buy a plane ticket for everyone and on top of that pay the Disney park fees etc.
Moving it to Puerto Rico will necessitate flying, and how many American hubs are all that connected to San Juan? Very few people in Miami really have an interest in Disney. We're talking places in Ohio, etc.
In other words, beyond being costly, they will also lose a large % customer base.
But if they want to move, let them move. Our kids are more important than Disney.
No not Disney - but do you understand how much they are a part of in Fl? They can sell parts or shares or rights. The Chinese even own some of it.
