TORONTO

Hey, Mayor Rob Ford you just avoided being prosecuted for possible Municipal Elections Act contraventions, what are you going to do next?

Yup, he’s going to Disney World.

Ford headed out of the city with his family early Wednesday morning, catching a flight out of Pearson airport and heading for Walt Disney World in Florida.

News crews at the airport to speak with travellers delayed by a winter storm spotted Ford checking in. Ford admitted to reporters that he’s heading to the “happiest place on Earth.”

“The mayor is on holiday with his family,” Ford’s spokesman, George Christopoulos, told the Sun Wednesday.

On Monday, Ford had another victory in a series of court and quasi-judicial battles. The city’s compliance audit committee voted 2 to 1 not to prosecute Ford for potential breaches of the Municipal Elections Act. That decision came less than a month after Ford won an appeal of the conflict-of-interest ruling that would have tossed him out of office.

Councillor Doug Ford said this was the first time the mayor had taken his two children — Stephanie, 7, and Douglas, 5 — to Disney World.

It’s not the mayor’s first visit — the Fords went as children, he confirmed.

“After they win the big game, the NFL game, what do the quarterbacks say? Going to Disney World,” Ford said.

Councillor Adam Vaughan wasn’t impressed to hear Mayor Ford was off to Florida for the second time in the last three months.

“He’s not even a full-time part-time mayor,” Vaughan said.

It isn’t clear when Ford will return from the U.S.

The next public meeting he’s required to attend at City Hall is the executive committee meeting on March 20. A report on a Toronto casino is expected to be on the agenda.

Councillor Ford admitted the casino vote at council is shaping up to be a “tight” one.

“My take on casinos is put every single penny into transit,” Ford said. “Every penny we make put it into transit — subways, we need subways ... underground transit.”

As for what is next with his brother’s administration, Ford said they have to “stay focused.”

“These guys aren’t going to stop going after us,” he said. “We’ve got to keep moving forward, these guys are going to keep coming.” He hinted there are “a few pokers in the fire … huge pokers” yet to be revealed.

“There are going to be some pokers in the fire that are going to be incredible for this city — if it comes to fruition,” Ford said.
