re: Disneyworld, Louisiana

Edwards came into office in 1972. Disney had bought the Kissimmee property in the early to mid 60's. He bought it using dummy corporations so he would not have the Disney name leveraged against him.

He used LA and VA, acting like he may go there, so FL would give him more tax incentives. It was NEVER going to LA or VA. He played all of the states against each other and got huge tax breaks by doing so. An early version of Epcot was being built already, in 1966, when Disney died.
