    That park was the last one Walt Disney had a direct hand in. It’s got quite a history. It’s where Uncle Walt tried and failed to start his little libertarian Utopia project.

    And good luck finding anywhere else on the East Coast to move Disney World that will meet the same needs in both logistics and climate as Orlando (that isn’t also in Florida).

    They can certainly find places to move some of it, but not all of it.

    Disney would effectively have to cut off a leg to get out of Florida.

      That’s the thing why does it have to be on the coast? Disney absolutely has fuck-you money, they could literally build their own small city with a big ass airport in bumfuck nowhere along an interstate. Florida is incapable of managing the amount of traffic that goes through Disney World as is!!

      In what way is the climate of Florida desirable? A hot and humid nightmare with insects and sunburns is the exact opposite of desirable for a theme park.

        Funny thing: they went to Florida because they originally wanted to do Louisiana but legislators and other officials demanded so much in the way of bribes that Disney simply walked away from the state.

      I’m fine with someone answering the question on whether there needs to be a Disney World if they already have a Disney Land.
