Regardless of your views on Disney, the fact they have big operations in CA and FL present an interesting comparison in regard to Democratic vs. Republican leadership.

The Reedy Creek Improvement District, where WDW is in Florida, is basically its own autonomous nation controlled by Disney. I wonder how much control they have over quarantine parameters.

I've ALWAYS wondered why no enterprising Economics/Poly Sci Ph.D. candidate didn't write a book-long dissertation on the RCID and how a government functions when it is managed as/by a for-profit corporation compared to your run-of-the-mill local government... The efficiency and ingenuity of how services are managed and operated is really fascinating.

My guess is that RCID is what Walt’s Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow was supposed to be.

Pretty sure they are operating under stricter guidelines that are in place for FL.

The RCID is a unique entity that is in control of everything a local government would do: permits, roads, utilities, etc. It allows Disney to be extremely efficient with changes and updates to its parks and the land. They basically oversee themselves. The "community" intended to be built was meant to be underneath that "government" entity.

They are. The state would allow them to go to 100% capacity.

They essentially have complete control. They could easily exempt themselves from the County mandates, and there are no state mandates or restrictions. Bob Iger is leftist, so they not only bow to what Orange County asks (masks), but exceed their requirements. They did make some deals with their union as well, but very willingly. It is the picture of hypocrisy to see all of their characters and performers maskless while many cast members have to wear masks AND face shields.
As of Jan. 1, capacities have been raised again and park hopping is back. What capacity limits they have are purely of their own making as the state said that they could open fully months ago with no restrictions.
The same goes for the other parks. Universal Orlando has been open since the first of June, as has SeaWorld and Busch Gardens. They might be open a full year, and completely back to normal operations, before their California counterparts are allowed to crack open a gate, and I'm sure, with a full list of restrictions and requirements.
