What if Disney World wasn’t a theme park at all—but a controlled zone with its own laws, its own police, and no one watching from the outside? In Florida, Disney negotiated special privileges: building codes, emergency services, even law enforcement—all under Disney’s control. That’s why the Tower of Terror is built exactly 199 feet tall, one foot short of FAA oversight. That’s why the flags on Main Street are almost—but not quite—real, so they never have to be lowered. And that’s why stories of hidden jails, unmarked rings in the concrete, and bodies quietly moved off property never make the news. This isn’t just a vacation destination. It’s a living simulation—tested every day, on millions of guests who never realize they’ve volunteered.
