"Disney became an independent state. Like the United States of Disney."

- Robert Lang, Director, The Lincy Institute, Director, Brookings Mountain West describing the deal that Disney had for Disneyworld, with Orange and Osceola Counties in Florida. This was arranged because Disney was unhappy with what happened to the area surrounding Disneyland in Anaheim, California where a lot of second-rate properties attached themselves to the 1st class property of Disneyland. They didn’t want that to happen in Florida. This scenario could be applied to the Innovation Zones proposed by Governor Sisolak.
