How much of the DW success is related to the fact that they have municipal jurisdiction over the land, meaning no politic interfering on the park development?

- cookiecaper 11y agoDisney and the other big theme parks basically own Orlando. Before they came here, it was a podunk. I don't think they would've gotten much interference from Orlando.
- dandrews 11y agoPodunk? Perhaps, but it was already well positioned for growth. I-4 (runs NE/SW through the state) was yanked over specifically to run through town, and we had that lovely SAC base with the 12,000 foot twin runways that was recently made into a civilian airport. UCF had just been chartered, which has become the second largest university in the country. Disney's a big deal if course - our biggest employer after all - but it's not the whole story here.
- joezydeco 11y agoIt's a huge part of the park's success. http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2009/12/reedy_creek_improvement_distri_1.html http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2009/12/reedy_creek... RCID can, effectively, build a nuclear reactor on the Disney World grounds without any interference from the city, county, or state.
