On Disney's side, there weren't any, even though a DeSantis crony was supposed to find some. On the DeSantis side, they're trying to steal the headline to absolve him by saying the lawmaker cannot break the laws. It's weak and desperate and very DeSantis World. The funniest part is that there...

And that's the report by the DeSantis appointee attempting to absolve DeSantis of blame! It's a lengthy document that basically says, "Well, I've seen worse..." I'm not going to miss this nonsense.

I'm told it'll be out soon. There were some delays because this is the first global post-pandemic year.

Agreed!

Okay, so I guess it's all because of Revelations? I just wanted to talk proper governance, which thread was the past couple of pages.

Of course it is. But I figured you'd reply. There's a weird thing on the internet where people can't just agree to disagree.

This isn't an accurate assessment at all in my evaluation, but you're again entitled to your point. What I said a few weeks ago remains my perception of these events, as did my later reply to someone's comment about a phone and some impending testimony. My stated belief is that Disney got...

Resetting to 2020 means that everything went back to what it was before the political theater began, and now Florida is gonna spend $100 million building roads at Disney World. That's not something the winner does for the loser. You're entitled to your opinion, but you and I appear diametrically...

To each their own opinion, but my takeaway here is that Disney had the governor walled in. He's giving Disney everything it wants here, first by resetting to 2020 and then by negotiating an agreement that requires Disney's approval to modify. Any victory claims he makes are, at best, pyrrhic...

FWIW, the Orlando Sentinel reported it as a 15-year agreement. The reports have indicated how much Disney may spend over 20 years. So, I have no explanation for the discrepancy in years.

Imagine if anyone in this thread had said six months ago that the CFTOD would propose $100 million to fix WDW roads. They would have been laughed out of here.

Happy days are here again.

I said the same thing a page or two ago. I hope Florida reporters keep digging. This time might be dangerous though.

My thoughts on these two aspects of your well-considered post. 1) Remember when the CFTOD took over, and it looked one way. Then, the world learned of King Charles III? It's like that. Disney had no need to settle this case unless it got everything it wanted. The timing isn't coincidental. And...

I think WBD can sell/merge on either April 8th or the last day of April. I'll switch my votes to Peltz if he can make that happen! (No, I won't.)

That's readily apparent. That guy just went on a hot microphone and talked about giving Disney a land carveout.

But I do love the idea of Harley Quinn as a Disney Princess.

Oh, it 100% was. If DeSantis had won anything, he'd have been unbearable. That's his brand. Since he had to capitulate, this is what we got instead. I wonder what was on Martin Garcia's phone...

His tone is so conciliatory and out of character I didn't believe he'd said that until I watched it.

Out of all the arguments I've read, this is the one that is closest to a reason why Disney would worry. At the end of the day, I suspect the percentage of people who leads with a Universal vacation and squeezes Disney in that the reverse proves to be less than 5 percent of tourists -- 1 out of...
