Disney World is telling their 60,000 employees, or "cast members", that they will be terminated immediately if they take their gun to work, regardless of the widely acclaimed "Take Your Gun to Work" law that went into effect on July 1st.
Disney World Vice President of Public Affairs Shannon McAleavey sent a memo to Disney executives that says "this law does
not apply to Walt Disney World Co. owned and leased properties." It turns out that there is a little loophole in the law that was intended to exempt businesses that build bombs and work with explosive materials. Disney claims that because they put on fireworks displays, they get to take advantage of this loophole, thereby leaving their "cast members", or "underpaid largely disgruntled service workers", known unarmed walking targets for thieves, terrorists, and employees of other businesses that get to take their guns to work.
Florida Governor Charlie Christ, who announced today that he is getting married in order to convince John McCain that he isn't gay is reportedly too busy to care about the whole thing, what with planning a wedding and trying to be 84 year old Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain's running mate.
State Senator Durell Peaden, however, is outraged. Peaden said "you've got to be kidding me" upon learning of Disney's total disregard for the law that he authored. Many residents of Orlando see Disney's move as a step towards their ultimate goal of secceeding from the state and perhaps the United States.
Disney executives later clarified their position, and said that visitors will be allowed to take their guns to the park.
Seaworld, another popular Orlando tourist destination, has said that employees and visitors alike are welcome to bring as many weapons as they want to their park.
