Trespasser camping on Disney World's abandoned island thought it was a "tropical paradise"

He should have filed a claim under the Homestead Act.

They stopped accepting non-Alaskan claims in 1976. Alaskan land could be homesteaded until 1986. source. And, of course, Walt Disney World isn’t the federal government. (the counterfactual seems like a plot to an SF novel)

It’s a joke - you don’t have to feel compelled to spoil it.

They are there, and likely plenty of them, too.

Yeah,where’s the coin op for rubbers and stuff? Paradise?

I think it’s delicious, depending on the species.

And that species probably isn’t human.

you kind of need to be able to read japanese though ( which i guess, even if you don’t, still means it’s easier than myst… )

A friend used to be an animal control officer in Florida. There are special rules for how to dispose of an alligator that has bitten a piece off of somebody because now it contains human remains. (even if the victim survived)

This is a great story, because it features Florida cops, a clueless trespassing Florida Man, and Disney, all of whom can go to hell.

Instead of evicting the guy, they should have dropped Alex Jones on the island, and then came back in a week to see who was left. My money’s on McGuire.

Thanks, man. Or, as the postcards used to say, “Wish You Were Here”!
I may have adopted the handle ironically and as I have posted before, I actually identify first as a Meat Popsicle and second as a Keybilly - a very different flavor of “Florida Man”, no less red of neck yet surprisingly left-leaning, fishing within regulation and supporting a broadly progressive future for our country. A dichotomy, no? But there you have it.
To pick up the topic thread, let me say in conclusion… I would totally bivouac on Disney’s secret island by boat, but as noted upthread, I would NOT get in that water!!!

I’m sure the staff just LOVE to eat the same thing over and over too.

Sorry, folks; park’s closed. The mouse out front should’ve told ya.

…off to hunt for Richard’s YouTube channel

Hmm…at some level this can be regarded as a sort of proto-animal kingdom. It would be interesting to track how the experience of running this influenced Disney’s creation of the Animal Kingdom park.
