Once again Disney outsmarted asshole DeSantis.

DeSantis says he insisted on ‘no Disney characters’ at his Disney World wedding

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) says he issued an ultimatum when he got married at Walt Disney World Resort in 2009: no Mickey Mouse wedding photos.

The potential 2024 presidential candidate opened up about his “fairy tale” wedding to journalist Casey Black DeSantis in his new book released on Tuesday, “The Courage To Be Free.”

Tying the knot at Disney’s Orlando amusement park — which in recent years DeSantis has battled with and dubbed an “unaccountable Corporate Kingdom” — was not his idea, according to the Sunshine State governor.

“Casey’s family was what one might call a family of Disney enthusiasts. They loved going to Disney World,” he wrote in a chapter titled “The Magic Kingdom of Woke Corporatism.”

“Being the dutiful groom,” he said, “I deferred to her.”

“When Casey first broached the idea of getting married at Disney World, I was surprised because I did not know people even got married there,” DeSantis said of his nuptials venue, which was first reported last year by Insider

“As it turned out, Disney World has a nice wedding chapel attached to the Grand Floridian, the Victorian-themed hotel close to the Magic Kingdom,” DeSantis said.

While agreeing to take the plunge in the Mouse House, DeSantis, now 44, said he had one requirement for the Disneyfied fete: “My only condition was that no Disney characters could be part of our wedding. I wanted our special day to look and feel like a traditional wedding.”

“I didn’t want Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck in our wedding photos,” he added.

In a SiriusXM Patriot radio interview earlier this week, DeSantis called his wedding day destination an “ironic choice,” given his political fights against Disney in recent years.

On Monday, he signed a bill ending Disney World’s self-governing status and establishing a new state-controlled district. The move came after Disney pushed back last year against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law — dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law by its critics — which limits instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in schools.

DeSantis said he and his wife had a “beautiful ceremony,” and they “both figured that we would be returning to Disney World to bring our kids to experience the theme parks, as we did as children.”

“I had no inkling that, years later, I would be squaring off against Disney in a political battle that would reverberate across the nation,” DeSantis said.

Only one gubernatorial contestant in Florida in 2018 was exposed for being a homosexual. They were both gay. Is that the first time in American history that two homosexuals were on the ballot?

Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign launch melts down in Twitter glitches

The Florida governor had big plans to launch his presidential bid on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk. It did not go as planned.

By David Ingram and Matt Dixon
May 24, 2023


The start of a much-anticipated Twitter event in which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis planned to announce his 2024 Republican presidential bid was repeatedly disrupted Wednesday when Twitter's servers apparently could not handle the surge in traffic.

Some Twitter users reported that the app crashed as they tried to listen to the event where Twitter owner Elon Musk joined DeSantis for the announcement. When the event continued after the frequent early glitches, DeSantis was asked a series of overwhelmingly friendly questions that allowed him to highlight his go-to talking points.

DeSantis' entrance into the race immediately sets up a direct confrontation with former President Donald Trump, who since announcing a third bid for the White House in November has regained his status as the leader of the modern Republican Party. Voices early in the Twitter Spaces event were openly concerned Trump would take advantage of the early glitches, a notable admission because the event was set up by DeSantis supporters.'

"This is going to be a stain that Trump is going to leverage for at least a few weeks," one organizer said amid the event's early glitches.

At times, DeSantis' account appeared absent from the audio-only event on the feature known as Twitter Spaces. Metrics published by Twitter said that more than 600,000 were attempting to listen.

“We’re reallocating some of the server capability to be able to handle the load here. It’s really going crazy,” Musk said at one point.

DeSantis eventually was able to speak, about 20 minutes after the scheduled start, after Musk closed the initial Twitter Spaces event and started a second one on the app. That space attracted about 161,000 users, according to Twitter's public-facing data, as DeSantis read a short speech.

"I am running for president of the United States to lead our great American comeback,” DeSantis said.

By the time DeSantis got the moment his political team had spent weeks negotiating, there were fewer than 70,000 viewers remaining, a significantly smaller audience than is traditional for a major presidential campaign launch.

“American decline is not inevitable. It is a choice," DeSantis said. "And we should choose a new direction, a path that will lead to American revitalization.”

Much of DeSantis' remarks echoed the culture war messaging that has defined most of his time as Florida governor. He hit on themes tied to injecting Florida's public education system with policy changes that cater to right-wing audiences, pushing back against the idea that his administration has tried to ban books and defending immigration crackdowns.

"Biden has pursued inflationary policies that are hurting working people. We will reverse those policies, and we will build an economy where working American can achieve a good standard of living," DeSantis said.

DeSantis' opponents reveled in his problems.

"Glitchy. Tech issues. Uncomfortable silences. A complete failure to launch. And that’s just the candidate!" Steven Cheung, spokesman for former President Donald Trump’s campaign, told NBC News.

President Joe Biden’s Twitter account posted a link to his own fundraising page, writing, “This link works.”

Trump seized on the event to launch attack ads on DeSantis, which he posted to his Twitter rival, Truth Social.

The DeSantis campaign, however, insisted that the technical problems showed how many people were flooding Twitter, eager for his campaign.

"Gov. DeSantis broke the internet — that should tell you everything you need to know about the strength of his candidacy," a senior campaign official said.

"Groundbreaking announcement. Internet-breaking excitement," DeSantis campaign spokesman Dave Abrams added.

DeSantis also released a launch video Wednesday evening, saying he was ready to lead a "Great American Comeback."

"Our border is a disaster. Crime infests our cities. The federal government makes it harder for families to make ends meet. And the president flounders," DeSantis said in the spot.

Some conservative Twitter voices were unconvinced by the launch. One account with the handle [MENTION=37885]cat[/MENTION]turd2, which has in recent months risen through the ranks of right-wing Twitter and been amplified in the past by Musk and Trump, had a particularly scathing review.

"I left the Space — It was so terrible and boring I couldn’t take it anymore," the account tweeted. "I’m going to go watch some paint dry so I can be more entertained."

BREAKING: In a humiliating new interview, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis waves the white flag of surrender in his battle against Disney, declares that he has “moved on” and demands that Disney “drop its lawsuit” against him.

But it gets MORE humiliating for DeSantis. In the pathetic interview today, DeSantis said, “I would say to Disney, go back to what you did well. I think it’s going to be the right business decision. But where we are today, you know, I basically moved on. Disney is suing the state of Florida…. so what I would say is that they should drop the lawsuit.” Wow.

After a year of acting like a wannabe fascist strong man against Disney because Disney had the audacity to stand up for the LGBTQ+ community that DeSantis relentlessly attacked, DeSantis is now shamelessly trying to cut his losses and make voters forget that he spent the last year battling a cartoon mouse. His numbers are dropping by the day — and his 2024 presidential campaign is in shambles — and now he’s begging on his knees for Disney to drop their massive lawsuit against him and his administration.

Unfortunately for DeSantis, Disney is going to win its massive lawsuit against him — and his campaign will be hit with yet another embarrassing setback. While Ron likes to act tough, he’s nothing but a schoolyard bully who whimpers like a baby and begs for forgiveness when he gets punched in the mouth.

How do you tough guy apologize and then beg someone to stop making you look like a bytch?!?!?

He sounds like that cat that CLEARLY got his ass beat, but wants to make it seem like the fight was a draw! We both got some good shots in. Nobody can really say who won, so I will move on and you go back to doing what you do best and we can all forget about this.

this dude.....
 
Damn. What a year. Disney still killing its entertainment/IPs, losing billons on streaming, hundreds of millions at the box office, and desperate to find partners. Meanwhile, Desantis looking like a punk bitch who wants to be like the mean twitter man but can't. Fuck all them bitches. :roflmao:

Both Desantis and Disney are giving lessons on self-sabotage. Partisans can spin this whichever way they want, but both Disney and Desantis are laughing stocks.

It's funny that Victoria Alonso started all this fuckery between Disney/Desantis and is gone in the wind with a huge ass goodbye package. The fat pie eater the only winner here. :yes:

Mickey bout to call his ass up,

"OH-oh-a-oh Ron, hey its Mickey......No, that's Mr Mouse to you....Yeah, yeah, I read your little interview...... No, not good enough Ronnie boy. You know, Oh-a-oh, it's funny Ronnie, I didn't see a "Please," in there buddy. Do I have to get medieval Ronnie, Oh-a-oh?!" Hahaha
 

Wait what happened to the rule of law?!?! You KNOWINGLY employed illegal immigrants...so you broke the law! Also, 19?!?!?! You couldn't find 19 legal workers? But the problem is you didn't want to PAY at least the minimum wage to 19 workers. Maybe instead of JUST voting for DeSantis, you should have put some money towards his campaign! That 500k would have went a long way
 
Bruh, don't believe that.

They're cooking the hell out them books.
Say man, Iger is still holding up to them turning a profit on streaming a year from now. :lol: You're a smart man and I bet you seen those streaming loses. I know you seen the budgets for shows that can't hope to turn a profit because they don't even license shit no more.

They ain't cooking the books; the books cooked. :roflmao2:Not to mention, their movie sales are at $1 billion+ losses over the last year. The way they cooked their already cooked books was having a low forecast and then still missing it by almost a half billion.

Remember, the park money keeping all the movie/streaming fail afloat and Iger already said 4-5 billion was cut earlier this year and that was BEFORE the continued train wreck.

Disney and Desantis made for each other. Self-sabotage.

i used to work for Disney.

the numbers they have made public are the numbers they want the public to believe.

they turn a profit before the damn movies hit the theater because a 250 million dollar budget movie actually cost 125 to make. Then they charge themselves the other 125 in costs. Then they make 250 at the box office and say since the marketing cost so much we lost money.

4774091502_d4084b2720_b.jpg

this is how Harry Potter movies flopped.

WB charged itself enough fees to eat up its own profits.

its a scam. i was part of it.

Wait. So the shareholders are just mad about nothing? Iger cutting $4-5 billion because they making money(it's always been a scam right, so why the cuts NOW)? So they just looking for partners and buyers(which they have to publicly deny) because they making so much right now? As you know, all these things have happened. If it were business as usual(moving money from one entity under the umbrella to the other), explain Iger's actions and the announcements?

Hell, I can lease shit from one of my companies to the other and play book cook too. I know the game. Also know there are rules for publicly traded companies. Mind you, I was referring to the movies/streaming aspect of Disney. They are destroying it right before our eyes. Never seen shit like this.

Back in the day before streaming, they could LICENSE shit out and make money. This ain't 2007 no more. Not even 2015. Tell me if they spent not the reported $200 million on secret war but $100 million(I'll use cook book math to the extreme), how in theeeeee fuck they made money on that? It's still lost. They no longer license shit. They even got the special effects people going at them for their BS.

One question that I really want you to answer. Don't care if it takes you a week. But since you worked there, entertain this. How do they cook the books to make streaming profitable by this time in 2024? We know they cooked the subscriber numbers by handing out subsciptions. We already know they moved some of those BS shows to 2024. Shit, I'll start loading up Disney stock right now if you have a viable plan. Not even playing. I ain't heard one good plan for that shit becoming profitable NEAR schedule, but maybe you know.
