Disney Vs. State of Florida

A new law just went on the books in Florida that says people are allowed to bring their guns to work, but it's not the case at Central Florida's largest employer.

A statement from Disney Wednesday afternoon says:

"This new Florida Law does not apply to most areas of our Company, as all Walt Disney World Co. owned and leased properties are exempt from the new Florida law. We are not alone. Several types of institutions and businesses are exempt from the legislation – including properties owned or leased by an employer with permits for the manufacture and/or storage combustible materials such as fireworks. As you know, the safety of our Cast and Guests is our top priority and we don't what that to be compromised. We will continue to maintain our zero tolerance policy for guns and workplace violence on Walt Disney World Co. property."
