could have turned it into a thriving community that actually grew the surrounding community instead of the tourist trap for money that goes directly to Disney and not the people living in the community.

Maybe you should have told them that back in the 50’s when they were planning it. I’m sure ol’ Walt would have forsaken his dream if you had just been able to give him your opinion! Man, what a missed opportunity! All those people could have been living there with no huge economic driver for the region. Man, I can see it now…trailer parks and white trash for miles and miles. It would be a glorious site!

And not to mention, we wouldn’t have those unhelpful billions in tax revenue, those pesky thousands upon thousands of jobs over the years, stupid classic movies that people cherish, idiotic vacation memories for families from all over the world, and that pain in the arse wealth creation caused by this one stupid tourist trap vanity project. Man, you’re right. They should have just built a couple trailer parks.
