I suppose because it didn't explicitly mention Disney by name (not that they legally could).
I said what I was talking about, the comprehensive plans.
No, he’s referring to the comprehensive plan developed by the district and approved by the state of Florida.
The contract had consideration. For one, Disney waived their right to sue if the district invoked eminent domain and to not demand more than fair market value for the land (Disney waived their right to sue for business damages caused by relocating).
Wait, am I not supposed to believe all the posts that said since this was dismissed outright it's a done thing and impossible to overcome?
Oh, so it was you who changed the subject. I was talking about the deal Disney jammed through right before the CTFOD came to power. Fair enough on that point though.
I have some bad news for you - can't fly and not even a real thing.......Wait, am I not supposed to believe all the posts that said since this was dismissed outright it's a done thing and impossible to overcome?
How is it that there can be an example showing the exact opposite.
Has the internet lied to me?
Next you'll tell me Peter Pan cannot really fly.
The next thing is somebody will tell me Tinkerbelle uses a zipline
And its a guy.......
That wasn’t changing the subject. The comprehensive plan is very reverent to the development agreement.
You suggested a course of action (work with state), an answer was given (already worked with state to approve plan).
The CTFOD seems like it's going to get the contract thrown out. Once that's completed, Disney will be forced to the bargaining table. This will probably not result in outcomes that Disney would like. By drawing up a new contract they have hope of finding a new path with CTFOD that will emerge out of a non hostile process. Either way this agreement is toast. Might as well conduct a tactical retreat rather than a hasty withdrawal.
Months is hardly “right before” when nothing had been announced but you haven’t exactly been a stickler for details.
Just my opinion, but I think TWDC and the state knew full well the relationship between TWDC and RCID. The state just let it be because WDW brought so much good to central Florida and the state. It was just good business.
Disney needs to do some soul searching, just not about this. An appeal is the correct route as we have seen this judge and DeSantis be overturned/lose at the appellate level a good bit of late on some pretty similar issues.
It was specifically done on accelerated timescale in order to preempt the state. Part of the reason that in their haste they accidentally had procedural issues and included illegal components in the contract. Whoops.
Mainly because Disney has nothing to lose and everything to gain by putting this behind them. Some hardcore fans might be disappointed seeing Disney not continue to litigate this. But I think most fans would rather not see their beloved brand continue to be tarnished by this legal process. And I can say as a unhappy shareholder that I would prefer if they don't keep beating this dead horse.
There are exhibits included at the end of the audit. They include emails showing RCID staffers did not know what property belonged to them and what belonged to the firm. The RCID provided Disney with services that Disney should have provided for themselves. And of course there was also the incident when an RCID employee and the auditor were not allowed to access RCID property because Disney employees blocked them. It's illegal, obviously. I don't think it was intentional, but that won't necessarily stop them from getting in trouble. Disney should have had standardized procedures for all interactions involving the RCID. I was expecting their conduct and the RCID's conduct to be spotless. Instead, the audit found incompetence.
