Future National Locations - Same Old Story

If I remember correctly, Baltimore (2010) was one of the best national's in years. IMO still the best to date from 2010 to present.

BTW why is Kansas City MO not on the list. Everything is centralized around the P&L district and the convention center. If I remember correctly the KC convention center is very large and wide open. Located minutes from the airport and casinos also. Guess it all breaks down to who does it the cheapest to maximize profits for the National Committee.

Yes, it was! I believe the National was there two years in a row. It is unlikely that the National will return there, the rumor was that the convention center doesn't book out far enough (a year maybe?).

The logistics for getting to Atlantic City rules it out for me. My personal preferences are, alternating, Chicago, Nashville and Minneapolis or Kansas City. I've been to too many shows in Cleveland and will never go to A/C so considering other cities is what I would like to see in the future. I remember the great Arlington, TX shows and wouldn't object to that as a landing site also.
Disney is seriously thinking about relocating WDW with all the insanity from DiSantis so they could probably be interested.

Hahaha, yeah right sure they are.

And the city of San Francisco (similar in acreage to WDW) is sick of fog, so they are seriosly thinking about moving to Nevada.

Yeh, Disney is not moving. There is only one way Disney would be gone if they went bankrupt

Not even close to an analogy. DeSantis' ill-conceived push ending self-government for Disney is going to have an awful impact on not only Disney but local communities, businesses and taxpayers alike.
DeSantis introduced and successfully passed legislation dissolving Disney's Reedy Creek Improvement District effective in 2023, which allowed WDW to pay for and operate its municipal services privately, thereby saving the state of Florida and its taxpayers BILLIONS of dollars.
Taxpayers have filed suit claiming that DeSantis has infringed on their rights by passing the bill which would force the local governments of Osceola and Orange counties to take on at least $1-2 BILLION of Disney's bond debt and increase funding of emergency and municipal services. The population of these two counties is 1.7 million people.
Walt Disney is Florida's largest employer and companies who previously saw the state as "business friendly" may change their minds now that DeSantis has directed at Disney such 'wrath.'

You can laugh all you want and say Disney will never leave Florida but Disney is not closing the door on the possibility, according to many reports from insiders as reported by Newsweek and the Washington Post.

LOL. Disney will never relocate.
