DeSantis to Replace Disney World with "Dilbert" Theme Park

ORLANDO (The Borowitz Report)—Ron DeSantis has unveiled an ambitious plan to raze Disney World and replace it with a “Dilbert”-themed attraction.

The new theme park, tentatively called Dilbert World, will attract “millions of Americans deprived of their favorite comic strip by the left-wing media Reich,” the Florida governor said.

Calling the new tourist destination “a woke-free zone,” DeSantis promised, “Parents who go to Dilbert World can rest assured that their children will not be exposed to the vile multicultural propaganda that it’s a small world, after all.”

DeSantis was vague about what kind of rides might be featured in Dilbert World, saying only that “they will probably involve cubicles.”

7. Only Vanilla ice cream will be offered.

The midnight show will be a stag show consisting of bucks dressed up as apostles.

There will be a modesty tent that will allow teenage girls the chance to prove they are still virgins and get the "I am still a princess discount".

There will be a special access aisle at the entry gate for guests of Russian nationality will be able to steal entry tickets from other guests.

Steven Seagal will be permanent honorary mayor but still unrecognized by most people who can't remember who the hell he is.
