Construction Of Disney World’s The Magic Kingdom

After Walt Disney’s death in 1966, his brother Roy took over the project of building a park larger and improved upon the version of Disneyland in California.  Walt Disney Productions began construction on the Magic Kingdom and the entire resort in 1967.  The theme park opened on October 1, 1971.  It has become the world’s most visited theme park.

In 2023, Americans spent $28.4 billion on amusement parks, about a 17% increase over the previous year.  There were over 600 amusement establishments in 2023.

The Magic Kingdom is located between Orlando and The Gulf Of Mexico, though much closer to Orlando.

Many people still attend the park despite the fact that the Disney company has fought against Florida’s parental rights legislation in recent years.  Parents still taking their children to Disney World despite the company’s stance against parents having rights to protect their young children from inappropriate indoctrination.  Seems to be a bit ironic.

Anyway, an entertainment tax on television, movies, and amusement parks that would be at the same tax rate as what the top 1% should be paying on their federal income taxes (slightly above 50%) would help remind Americans that we are all in this together to help our country get out of our $36 trillion national debt.

 

CONFLICTING COMMITMENTS

I got behind a family vehicle recently at a stoplight and noticed two small TV’s above the back seats…playing identical children’s programming.  And then I noticed the license plate with the words “Autism Awareness”.  Too funny.  Too funny.
