47 square miles of prime real-estate, including a private community of multi-million dollar homes for those that are super fans and had to live in a Disney community. There are currently two previously owned homes available if you're interested. The Villa Firenze at 4,999,999 and The Berkeley at 9,500,000

20 million a day for the Disney parks in Orlando area. Not sure what their operating expenses are, though.

You can get alcohol in any of the parks.
The original EPCOT was something I really wanted to see happen, but it was way too big a dream.
It became Celebration.
Disney's looking at lower cost housing community now.
I can tell you Disney's viewed as one hell of an awesome neighbor in Central Florida.
As far as lying about the utility district, you'd need to cite that because no one here has ever said anything like that.
The only one lying is the State of Florida.

No, Sitz. That's not correct. "Progress City" (EPCOT)was Walt's dream, and it died with him in 1966.
Residential communities were (and are) part of the reason for RCID and that continues today and do exist on property and as Celebration with new communities being evaluated, mostly due to the lack of inventory for low-cost housing in Central Florida.

I really wanted EPCOT to be what Disney originally envisioned, though. I still remember begging to go to Lake Buena Vista to look at the models and watch the presentations. As a little boy, it was awesome!

From the legislation that created the RCID in 1967:

"WHEREAS, in order to assure the future welfare and continued prosperity of Florida and its people, Florida must continue to attract temporary visitors, permanent residents and new industries and offer to the public outstanding vacation, sports and recreation facilities and residential communities; and

WHEREAS, in light of the recent advances in technology and the rapidly increasing speed and capacity of modern air carriers, which have made accessible and led to the development many new year-round resorts and recreation-oriented communities in other states and parts of the world that vie with Florida for the tourist trade, the maintenance of Florida's prosperity and its leadership as a tourist state make it imperative that appropriate measures be taken to promote the conservation of natural resources and attractions, the creation of vacation, sports and recreation facilities and residential communities of high quality and the utilization of the many technological advances achieved by American industry in developing new concepts in community living and recreation; and

WHEREAS, the conservation of natural resources and attractions, the creation of favorable conditions for the development of high-quality vacation, sports and recreation facilities and residential communities and the utilization of new concepts, ideas, designs and technological advances in the establishment of such facilities and communities are valid public purposes and the legitimate concern of special taxing districts created for that purpose; and..."

You are correct. Celebration has, as a result, moved from Disney's control.

Back in the days before you took a good look around and realized how racist a lot of the stuff in the Magic Kingdom is...

All of Disney was. Walt Disney was. Florida was. It was a different time when it was first built.

It's VASTLY different now and that is the source of all the screaming about it being "WOKE." I applaud Disney. It is a place everyone can go to and enjoy, except for maybe the super anti-woke crowd. Then it's a constant reminder of diversity and multiculturalism.

And that's a burn the Governor of Florida can't stand feeling - and he voices it for all those like him.

Yes he does.
The super anti-woke's kids still love Disney, though...

I'm betting Disney, who has been through many governors and many legislatures, will wait it out.
