I absolutely love Disney world but one insane thing about the place is the reedy creek improvement district. When I first went back in 2001 I was amazed to see signs all over disney world with these exact words on. I thought to myself this land is owned by Disney so who is the reedy creek improvement district and why is it needed? (I know sad right) did some digging and discovered how corrupt the truth was. A private company governing itself is an absolute disgrace in every sense of the word, a companies primary goal is to make money, not to follow every rule in place. Disney are a very responsible company when it comes to safety, cleanliness etc, all the same every private company should have some accountability and if one doesn't why should any?
What was the whack a mouse story???
If Disney World wants to move, we would love them up here in Canada 😁
I wonder if Ron DeSantis’ wife is jealous that Disney occupies more space in her husband’s brain than she does?
expect delays from a deplorable state bureaucracy that will drain economic energy.
Let's hope they hire someone with an engineering background who will take this position seriously and not just as a political move. The WDW monorail certainly needs updating, but it is factually incorrect to argue that the system is unsafe. The monorail provides for what? 10,000? 20,000 a day? And nobody is hurt almost ever since they've been in operation. Way safer than driving, biking, or boating.
I just hope people come to their sense that trains are among the most efficient and predictable transportation options. There is no reason to fear the WDW monorail other than 1 isolated and unpredictable incident. Such is life though. Anything can happen at any time sadly.
I hope in the end they just have recommendations for an updated fleet and not just bash the monorail.
OMGGGGGG MAKE IT STOPPPP!! I go to Disney to escape every and any discussion of real life, politics, anything negative. I know it’s all your jobs to report on anything Disney and I’m not complaining at the messengers but I’m almost ready to stop listening to every one of my Disney podcasts.
How long before govenor DeSantis decides that people who voted agaisnt him arent eligible for certain tax breaks?
I tapped the music notes on the headband against a metronome, and it follows the cadence of "Nothing Can Stop us Now"! It isn't exact but I think that's what they were going for.
Why haven't you reported anything on the break down of the Wish last weekend?
As long as they leave “ por favor mant……….” Alone.
are disneyland monorails inspected by californi dot?
lmfao Disney didn't break any laws (because their lawyers are so good that the lawyers would stop Disney from doing anything that COULD break the law since Disney doesn't want to get sued).
They are going to shut down the monorail every chance they get
Poor WDW News. They want to tell us when Pirates of the Caribbean closes. What they get is reading pages of legal terms. Have a coffee everyone!
It is funny how they are saying this is all because DeSantis’s feeling got hurt , when it all started by the wokes feeling getting hurt, forcing Disney to take a stand, not supported by the sane people of Florida.
Boyd Governor Ron DeSantis keeps digging his grave deeper and deeper and deeper and that a**** thinks that he's going to make president I don't think so he is making things much worse for him and his colleagues he needs to back off of Disney and leave them be and if he doesn't he's going to have to pay the consequences big time and that is totally not a threat that's a promise
I hope FL condemns those monorails
Florida's should be terrified after the last legislative session- a flurry of bills signed into law that were either self-serving or retaliatory ordered by this Governor. He attacked immigrants, educators, families, students, the LGBTQ+ community, restricted senior benefits, changed laws protecting renters, and attacked the states largest employer- Disney. What happened to Republicans = smaller govt??
Pack up and move to Puerto Rico.
I thought republicans were about less government control..:
Desantis received 1.5 million more votes than his opposition. Roughly 20 percent of the vote. I think the majority of Florida citizens support what he is doing. Right, wrong or indifferent, Florida citizens support more than any governor in recent history based on election results.
Eric is rockin’ his new glasses! They look good! It’s hard to find a pair of glasses that fit and look just right
I have no problem with state over site. All districts that aren’t “special” get the same over site. It isn’t unique, if any other district had a monorail people mover they will also be under such regulations. The monorail system needs to meet all requirements of any other system that moves people. It isn’t punitive because all systems; bus, taxis, sky mover, or monorail need to meet over site rules for safety. This station regularly showed problems that existed within the special district, specifically at WDW, as a matter of regular content. Now you complain that the state stepped in to make sure the parks are safe… laughable. I’m not a giant fan of DeSantis but maybe you should look in the mirror and admit the network may be partially culpable for this move.
Does the Florida DOT inspect Universal and Seaworld? Yeah, no.
The benefit of having the government inspect an aging monorail system is that a corporation can no longer hide it's mistakes. Those of you cheering on Disney are also cheering on a company's ability to hold it's own leash, which Disney has proved it cannot.
DeSantis is sick and deranged. His reason for these inspections is hateful and unlawful. He doesn’t care about tourists or Floridians
I can't stand DeSantis and his bullying ways but state inspection of the monorail is a good thing, those monorails and beams are in horrible condition. The last time I rode back in September, the train stunk of stale piss and sweat to boot.
As far as I know, the Disney monorails are unique to Disney so how would a state inspector be an expert on them in order to inspect them properly? I can see them trying to shut them down just because they don't understand something, not because there is an actual problem. Inspectors tend to abuse their power, especially when they are not experts on what they are looking at.
Hell yea Rob
wdwnt – “We’re not taking sides”.. every thing they post now sides with Disney! Remember when Disney hated Tom and wdwnt?!
I wonder what Ralph Nader would think of the WDW monorails? Unsafe at any speed?
YAY! MORE ERIC!
This is the beginning of the end of Disney World in Florida.
So what happens if disney says forget this and move somewhere else?
When is Bob Iger gonna meet Ron DeSantis?
NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN. EVER.
If those senators think that Disney is going to leave Florida, they’re dumber than they sound
Wow, not at all a targeted attack, is it? Disney needs to shut its doors and let DeSantis see what happens. It’s how you treat spoiled toddlers having a tantrum. It’s called logical consequences. The logical consequences of making a hostile business environment is for businesses to discontinue their business.Not only has Disney paid millions in taxes, brought in millions of tourist dollars and created thousands of jobs for Central Florida, it has paid for the infrastructure like the roads, the fire station, the police station. Florida could take this all under eminent domain as DeSantis has suggested, but they still have to pay fair market value for the properties. And Disney owns all of the emergency vehicles and equipment… the cost to tax payers will be in the millions.
So annoyed with DeSantis. I liked him, but I’ve seen a side of him that is not nice. He got his butt hurt by Disney, but he has to get even. It’s tit for tat going on. He just needs to step off the Mouse 🐭 DeSantis will not get my vote should he run in 2024. Just saying…….
17:11 Eric did an exceptional job at delivering difficult and heartfelt news with the segment on the cast member.
Many broadcast presenters have done much, much worse.
Thank you for taking that care.
Music theorist here… they probably were going for that tune, but there’s no clef and there’s 6 lines on the staff instead of 5, so I’m not sure what notes they’re going for! It’s a super cute good effort though!
It's funny to think "the voters" are unhappy with the quality of Disney's property management. There has never been a more detail oriented company in the history of humanity.
