Disney Blocks Access to Premier Military Resort

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 5/4/2023 5:34:13 PM

Shortly after announcing it is suing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Disney blocked pedestrian access to and from the U.S. Armed Forces’ flagship resort in the continental United States. The decision to do so further demonstrates that the Disney of 2023 is not the Disney of 1971 (when Walt Disney World opened) or the Disney of 1955 (when Disneyland did so). Unlike modern Disney’s previous questionable actions, however, this one comes directly at the expense of U.S. military families and veterans—and needlessly and senselessly so. Moreover, the action is tied to the Reedy Creek Improvement District, over which DeSantis, the Florida legislature, and Disney have been battling.

This makes it so I will NEVER go to another Disney park. My husband is a veteran and this will really make him angry.

When I was a kid, there was no more patriotic family friendly company than Disney. How times have changed. I haven't been there going on 15 years. I will not spend piles of cash to wait hours for a ride, nor be propagandized at my own expense. One may feel uncomfortable with the actions that DeSantis took, but Disney's retaliation missed the mark by miles.

I can't wait for the next episode when Disney finds out that it has far less ability to inflict pain on the people of Florida than Florida has to inflict pain on Disney.

I have a couple of suggestions: 1. Disney: Why not take your petulance to the limit? Get rid of the military discount packages both online and at the base/military installation Tickets and Tours offices. 2. Fellow veterans and service members: write off anything Disney; the parks, the cruises, the movies, and the merchandise. They don't like our largely conservative ways and lifestyles. Don't give them any more of your money. 3. Congress: Get rid of the permanent "Temporary Restricted Area" that both Disney parks have enjoyed since 2003...put in place for no other reason other than "they're Disney." Make them live with the same aerial photographers, banner tow planes, and airborne lookeloos that Seaworld, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios have to endure. I used to go with friends and family. I swore off of Disney years ago because of their embrace, promotion, and demand for advocacy of "alternate" lifestyles.

I never went. I considered some years ago about taking my grandchildren (didn’t have enough money when my children were young). After I was fairly well off, they started that Pride Week thing and I wrote them off. They still run some ads implying that grandparents should treat their grandkids to a Disney trip. Ha, not in my lifetime. I am sure the parks will continue to do ok, but not on my dime.

Disney started their problems with the Don't say Gay fiasco. They started digging then. Then, Disney continued to go and pick a fight with Gov. DeSantis. Now, Disney is choosing to alienate the military, their families, veterans, and everyone who supports them. One would think Disney would have learned from their past few self inflicted wounds. Disneys slap at military vacationers is going to be difficult to recover from once word gets out. Disney just keeps hurting themselves with self inflicted wounds.

Just because they hate Republicans is no excuse for Disney reneging on their deals with the military... Especially when the military is run by people who hate the Republicans (other than the pure warmongers like Lindsey) too.

People who rely on major news aggregators like News, Bing News and Yahoo! News for their political news are being ensconced inside filter bubbles, and this drives greater polarization, division and dysfunction in society overall. Filter bubbles occur when someone is exposed only to one-perspective, or only to news that confirms his or her existing beliefs. repeatedly shows that when people only see one side, they become less tolerant of people and ideas that are different then they are. We, as a society, grow more divided and less accepting of each other. Multiple analyses have found that major news aggregators are heavily biased.

A federal jury in Washington, D.C. found Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl and Joseph Biggs guilty of conspiring to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden and using force and prior planning to hinder the 2020 presidential election certification. There was no verdict for Dominic Pezzola on the most serious charge, seditious conspiracy, but he was found guilty along with the others of obstruction of a official proceeding.

An embattled George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor in St. Louis resigned Thursday amid a legal effort by Missouri's attorney general to fire her for allegedly neglecting her duties. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, the city's top prosecutor, is stepping down following repeated, bipartisan calls for her resignation from officials across the state. Gardner's office tweeted her resignation letter, which was addressed to the people of St. Louis. Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she would seek a third term. Her resignation is effective June 1.
