SO many rumors on some UOR Facebook groups about capacity and what it could look like in the next month or two/all of 2021. None substantial.

whose the go to blogger/influencer for UOR for reputable rumors/first type news announcements? I like all ears, but it’s also much more... icing type news unless they get an official announcement (in which case I’d just see it on UOR Twitter!)

Florida Bill Seeks to Lower Timeshare Property Taxes

Although in reading the story, I hope for the sakes of those of us who are DVC owners this doesn't pass. It doesn't look like it would help us or lower our property taxes much, if at all. It might actually indirectly and eventually RAISE our taxes.

It likely wouldn't lower the appraised value much for DVC properties since factoring in resale prices wouldn't have a big impact for DVC. However, if it lowers revenue for Orange County, etc. because it lowers the revenue received from other local timeshares by factoring in their resale prices into appraised values, the local governments are going to see a big dip in revenue from property taxes on those properties. They may then decide to counter that and bring revenues on such properties back in line with what they'd been to raise the property tax rates on timeshares. Since DVC likely wouldn't see a dip in appraised value, it would then just mean we're paying more in taxes since I'm assuming they'd have to raise the tax rate across the board.

Disney Releases Official Backstory for New Jungle Cruise Characters, Confirms 2021 Debut Date

"Up top is Siobhan “Puffin” Murphy, who traveled all the way from the small island of Dingle, Ireland, to pay a surprise visit to her distant cousin twice removed on her father’s side, Alberta."

Hey, my grandmother's family is from the Dingle area. But it's a peninsula and a town on that peninsula, not an island, unless they're referring to all of Ireland as a small island.

Alicia Stella. Might not help with regards to capacity stuff but she seems very tuned in with ride/park rumors.
