I went back to look at my old photos... I wonder if Pop Secret isn't a sponsor anymore?

ETA: I found photos in my camera roll from 2019 where Pop Secret was already removed. NVM

Fate of Reedy Creek Improvement District Reportedly to Be Decided Soon, Per Experts

Note: This post is for informational purposes regarding the status of possible dissolution of RCID. Please refrain from discussion on the topic. Thanks!

According to a new report by the Orlando Business Journal, the fate of the now-famous Reedy Creek Improvement District is set to be decided sometime soon.

According to OBJ, the specific fate of the special district repealed over six months ago will be decided during a special legislative session following the midterm elections on November 8.

David Ramba, executive director with the Florida Association of Special Districts, told them discussions about the fate of the district are underway in Tallahassee despite both the Reedy Creek staff and the public being in the dark about the issue.

These are the three possible options laid out by Ramba to the Orlando Business Journal:

• The state doesn’t necessarily have to honor the June 2023 dissolution date, as that can be delayed easily with a vote to buy the discussions another year, if need be.
• The state could simply amend certain powers of the Reedy Creek district — such as its ability to build a nuclear power plant — and forgo the dissolution plan.
• Another approach could be lengthy. If the state — or local governments, if the duty was passed to them — tried to change the wording in the district’s charter or completely replace it, that would require a 30-day public notice, discussions and approvals by delegations in the affected counties — Orange and Osceola counties — and other processes needed before a vote were allowed, which could drag out a solution.

Tldr: RCID resolution’s 3 outcomes according to ex director of FL Asst’n of Special Districts:

• delayed indefinitely
• just one small insignificant aspect changed and nothing else
• delayed indefinitely
•

Chapek wants to emulate airlines, huh?

Our flights to and back last August were the most miserable I've ever had. 3 out of 4 ran late because they HAD NO STAFF TO FLY THEM. They even told us they were trying to find a crew in Chicago, Orlando, and Dallas. The only part of the flight that was timely was leg one from Tulsa to Chicago.

Every flight was crammed full.

Airports in Chicago and Dallas had half their restaurants/eateries closed due to lack of staff.

this is the one that will happen, and DeSantis will frame the 'small insignificant change' as a 'Huge overwhelming change' that will punish Disney for its wokeness. His followers will read the headlines, praise DeSantis, and think he won. Disney will go back to normal.

Rumor: Disney Vacation Club Price Increase Coming In December 2022

this is a head scratcher. With inflation going up, interest rates going up, unemployment going up, demand for luxuries like this should be going down. Increasing the price will only drive demand down further.
