A lot of the decision making from my understanding in them wanting to own everything here came from there. They had business move in closer then they like and be able to profit from all the people that where attracted in.

Not sure about California but here it’s all just Disney for a few miles. You might as well stay at one of their hotels since its closer than other places. They either offer you a bus ride in and out of the park or a monorail depending where you are staying. It turns into a bit of a drive otherwise.
