FBI Gets Involved With Disney



FBI Gets Involved in Disney’s “Plans” to Move to a New State, Federal Charges Filed




Federal charges were filed after the FBI was forced to get involved in Disney’s “plans” to move to another state.

This week, evening news programs and websites are teeming with stories and posts about the Walt Disney World Resort packing up and moving to another state in response to the escalating feud between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida lawmakers, and The Walt Disney Company

Millions of online users are searching terms associated with Disney World moving away from Florida–and for good reason.

On Wednesday, North Carolina State Senator Michael Garrett filed a bill called “Mickey’s Freedom Restoration Act,” seeking $750,000 for the creation of a committee to determine how to attract The Walt Disney Company and its Central Florida theme Park Resort to the state of North Carolina.

Some say North Carolina is the perfect place for Disney World to relocate. Others say the best place for Disney World to move to is the state of Virginia. And some say there’s no way the Disney World Resort would/could be moved to another state.


But this isn’t the first time other states have invited Disney to relocate. In April 2022, similar sentiments in favor of Disney and opposed to Gov. Ron DeSantis were expressed by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, who tweeted an offer of asylum to Mickey and Minnie in the early weeks of the Disney vs. DeSantis war, extending an invitation for Disney to pack its bags and head to the Centennial State. 

Only days later, a judge in South Texas extended a warm and welcoming “howdy, y’all” to The Walt Disney Company, inviting the company to pack up, head west, and plant Disney roots deep in the heart of Texas.  READ MORE...

Disney's Powers in Florida Revoked


Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a controversial bill dissolving Walt Disney World's self-governing status in the state.


The move is seen as retribution for Disney's opposition to the state's so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill.


The company's status in the state in effect allowed Disney to operate as its own municipal government.


It included the ability to levy tax, build roads, control utilities and operate its own fire department.


The Florida bill will eliminate Disney's Reedy Creek Improvement District and several others.


The measure, however, allows for districts to be re-established in the future.


At a bill signing ceremony on Friday, Mr DeSantis accused Disney of lying about the controversial bill, which bars many primary school classrooms from discussing sexual orientation.


"You're a corporation based in Burbank, California, and you're gonna marshal your economic might to attack the parents of my state," he said.


"We view that as a provocation, and we're going to fight back against that."  READ MORE...
