I still talk about this Disn...Hey Clyde and Terry,<br /><br />I still talk about this Disney prank all the time. Because people still think it's true. <br /><br />A friend of mine, who has an uncle or something like that who is apparently pretty high up in some construction company (you know the whole "a boyfriend's friend's girlfriend said" kind of thing) swears that some people from Disney did come to Panama and that they have expressed interest in buying land here. I've also heard that they have bought land here somewhere. The thing is, even if any of these stories were true, Disney owns so much stuff that it still wouldn't mean there's a park on the way. It could be a Disney hotel, cruise port, casino...or whatever else Disney might want to do here. <br /><br />We keep hearing the same thing about Walmart too. They say that Walmart is buying up all the Super 99 stores from Martinelli. Is that true? Not sure. I think that one might be, but again, that might just mean that Walmart wants to soup up the Super 99 stores. It might not even mean that they'll change the name.<br /><br />Anyway...Disney and Walmart would be great for jobs, but horrible for local businesses and local life period. Can you imagine how much a fifty cent empanada would cost along the Pan-American Highway if Disney was located anywhere near? Suddenly we'd be paying $5 for an arroz con piña drink. <br /><br />Great blog guys, and a great subject. I just stumbled upon your blog today and it's got loads of great info. I'm using the same template on my blog. I swear I'm in the process of changing it. I had no idea. You guys were here first. Sorry for copying your look :)<br /><br />ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636449088192029991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518744119022487844.post-33421109674614963232013-01-19T07:39:06.392-08:002013-01-19T07:39:06.392-08:00I sure hope Allison is correct!

Having lived within a few miles of the Di.Isney parks in FL for a number of years, it may seem like a good idea for the tax coffers, but NOT for the residents of the area! Mayhem ensues when Disney arrives!

Can you even imagine! Legoland was vetoed here about twenty minutes from us and Disney also squashed plans to build a park by Dulles (we don't have the best weather or transportation for these HUGE amusement parks even though I love them) fortunately! And I don't want to even think about roller coasters in Panama (I wrote in my blog about his early on!). Just another day along your trail :)Allison https://www.blogger.com/profile/03297165108845980203noreply@blogger.com
