Anaheim officials – a majority of whom had their campaigns heavily backed by Disney – will not discuss placing a gate tax on the Disneyland theme park and other large entertainment venues tonight, instead kicking the debate to a later date.
[Read: Anaheim Might Ask Voters to Consider a Disneyland Gate Tax]That long awaited debate was expected to take place tonight at the 5 p.m. city council meeting until Rubalcava reached out to city staff asking the proposal be kicked.

“The revenue generated from a gate tax could be allocated into housing,” she said.
Historically, resort interests have protested moves to institute a gate tax, saying the increased ticket prices will drive customers away.
