Would anyone like to provide sources for the following assertions:
1. Even though Disney owns Reedy Creek Improvement District I do believe it does not write its own fire codes. There are certain guidelines and regulations that even Disney must answer to.
2. I doubt they write their own fire codes, much too complicated to write them. They just get to decide which actual code they will implement.
3. Not to mention, it's probably state laws not local ones. Think about it this way, it's like occupancy laws to restaurant. Breaking fire code laws in any state is expensive and not worth the potential lawsuit cost. After all, WDW is a business and is out to make a profit just like any other company.
Otherwise, all I can do is ignore them. "I do believe", "I doubt", "it's probably state laws not local ones" do nothing to convince me of anything. Give me facts, please.
It's easy to Google Reedy Creek Improvement District. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney. The Fire Department is owned and run by Reedy Creek and Disney (oh, all right -- people hired or controlled by Disney) writes its own fire codes. From everything I can find out, the codes are extremely stringent. Great for safety, but also helpful when one wants to very carefully control room occupancy for reasons other than safety.
I'm waiting for sources and information other than "believe" "doubt" and "probably". Persuade me with facts, please, not opinions, guesses and assumptions!
