This type of thing has happened on quite a few projects over the years.
"While filed liens are not necessarily common for construction projects at Walt Disney World, they aren’t unheard of. Back in June 2020, a contractor filed a $1.5 million lien against Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway for unpaid work. Other liens have been filed in the past on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, Riviera Hotel, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and more."


A pattern?
Deadbeat Disney.......
but miss a DVC payment....

Well there are always two sides to the story in these disputes, and we typically don't publicly hear Disney's take on it.

Not a pattern, typical process and part of the project closeout procedure. most likely a fight over change orders. 1.5MM.. not that big of a sum.

Disney has no finanial problems. They are profitable and have no problem paying their bills. In fact they will have no problem paying Comcast their 9 billion for their less than 1/3 of the company. Remeber, Comcast could have keot their 1/3 share but decided not to continue to fund Hulu.

Has somebody said they have financial problems? I don’t think they’re the Johnsons in apartment 3C…

What the contention is about is their “problems”
And they have those

They’re taking losses at the box office…or not making acceptable profits

They’re taking losses on the stream as they announce they’re slashing content/production to save money and then forcing people to pay more for a bundle that probably alot do not want.

They’re having a hard time getting things made…and now a long writers strike

The domestic parks have nothing going in as the competition is being more aggressive.
That half empty park gig on Memorial Day was pretty cool though 👍🏻

The debt is higher that “comfortable”

And then there’s that stock deal…it’s lagging and well below a market that is just becoming volatile…

public companies are a confidence game…and these are “confidence problems”

Not the same as missing a rent payment

Liens happen all the time with Disney construction projects, this is nothing new. Also, both the liens in the article are a case of the general contractor not paying a sub contractor.

Sorry if I'm late to the party but that is what the SM queue used to do. Now it exits into the gift shop again. Besides, isn't that a staple of WDW rides: "exit into the gift shop"?
If you notice…the last 4 new rides dumped that. Choosing separate “proximity gift shops” on paths outside rather than show dumps
