Eventually this will come to an end. The question is how and when.

Just to note, Universal and SeaWorld both do reside in some sort of District, so Disney is not alone, their Districts aren't as broad, as explained here in this article: Does the state treat all theme parks this way? Local governments have given some special privileges to Disney’s theme park...

Guessing here, they should be. If people and journalists went to the previous RCID and new CFTOD Board meetings, people should be able to attend the meetings of Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake without issue. They are government bodies. Hopefully, someone here with more experience can answer this...

Just keeping my eyes peeled on the Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake meetings tomorrow. The agendas show both cities are proceeding on matters as they normally would. It will be interesting to see if they talk about the new Board of the District, doubt it will happen, but still something to be on...

A few things could be on the table including items not listed: Dissolution of cities of Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake. Dissolving these cities takes an act of the legislature. Legislation totally dissolves the district, but this one is fraught with tons of issues. From early redemption of...

In terms of the Western Way expansion, it makes sense. It would be useful for cast members and third-party participants who work at Disney and live in that area. There is a ton of development that has taken place in Horizon West and Clermont over the last few years and it is not going to stop...

There are other things they can do, just depends on who does it. Legislature can dissolve cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, go back and actually dissolve the district entirely, state could audit, or file suit. Plus other things that haven't been mentioned, no shortage of things that the...

In other non-District news, the RCID website now has the agenda document for the special meetings of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista on April 6. Based on just a quick look, there isn't anything too spicy in them like there was for the RCID/CFTOD BOS sheet. Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista have city...

I am curious to know if Disney had discussions with Orange and Osceola County on setting up CRA’s within the WDW property if the district was dissolved. While it wasn’t, it would be interesting to know those contingency plans that never got used.

Also, important to remember that the Florida legislature is still in session until May. It’s not all of the possibility that the house or the senate could introduce new legislation regarding potential dissolution of the cities, or further legislation relating to the district. Also a good...

The people who work in the general counsel‘s office for the governor of Florida and the general counsel for the district probably were caught off guard about this.

Just a guess. They probably want full control over all aspects of the district, including the aforementioned Developer Agreement that guaranteed rights of Disney to land in the District. Tweet for reference:

if the new district starts litigation against Disney, to what extent will that impact Disney’s ability to obtain permits from the district?

I’m guessing WDW is probably going to, or has retained outside counsel to defend legality of agreements. Also, not surprising to see that this was their form of an insurance policy.

Unknown at this time. It's a case of could be nothing or could be something. It could be nothing because they held special meetings in 2020 and 2021 without anything being too particular. The 2021 Special Meeting for Lake Buena Vista per the offical document: "CONSIDERATION TO ADOPT...

Cooper & Kirk is a well-known firm and not a cheap one. Whatever the new Board wants to do, it must be broad in scope. Given the scope of these firms being hired by the district, WDW's in-house and maybe outside counsel is probably going to be closely monitoring the actions of the District.

Looks like they updated BOS Sheet again and there is definitely some interesting content in it. This is for the special session tomorrow. The interesting stuff begins on page 61 of 97. Looks like Reedy Creek/ CFTOD are going to retain Cooper &Kirk and Lawson for: "regarding certain...

Would this have any impact on moving or not moving WDI to Lake Nona?

What are the chances WDW pushes back as well?

Good luck with this. MyVMK has done this and VFK has former VMK followers.
