Disney reportedly bought 500 acres of land in lapeer Michigan recently. The locals are absolutely convinced that it's for a new Disneyland and all in a frenzy lol

I don’t know much about US geography and climatology but isn’t Michigan fucking cold and not the best place for a theme park?

I mean it's not a harsh environment but we have 4 seasons and get snow. Any outdoor amusement parks are seasonal for sure. And 500 acres is a tiny piece of land for a Disney park. So yes you're correct. My comment was more an indictment who heard a rumor that doesn't even make sense and are no freaking out thinking their rural lame area is about to taken over by Disney

Of course it's not accurate, anyone with common sense would know that. Unfortunately common sense isn't a common trait of the citizens of lapeer County
