Any idea what the settlement will be? It seems like they’re giving up.

Well that’s unfortunate.

Certainly Disney isn't the type to just roll over. I can only imagine they received something they wanted in this agreement as well.

If this was 'a settlement,' then I wonder if Disney got any concessions from the new board.

I wonder if the new board was the concession. (as lame as that would be)

Concerning the federal court case Disney filed, which is currently on appeal, both parties will seek to defer briefing on the appeal while negotiating a new development agreement.

The district commits to reviewing and potentially amending the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, with consultations involving Disney and other relevant parties.

They had to, not shot they just quit right? This doesn’t make any sense.

The new board chair is the CEO of Bags - a major Disney vendor.

The new district administrator has worked closely with their lobbyists in the past.

It seems like the plan right now is to make the current situation work.

Disney has reserved the right to reopen the federal case, while giving up the right to enforce the development agreements as written (likewise, the District can’t sue them again in state court over the matter).

Seems like a pragmatic win.

Bridget Z and Ron Peri just have to keep zooming in for another 10 months then they’re gone too.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall

He sold Bags a few years ago and left. More recently he has been behind some deals at and around Church Street Station.

If Disney wiggles its way back in to have control of their business, I guess that would be a win and back to their old situation, which worked fine for 50 years.

lol, having been to Church St last week as my sister moved into a high-rise near there, that is not a good sign

Close enough - he’s been friendly with Disney in the past.

Got to thread the needle of DeSantis donors that they can work with.

I thought these agreements were untouchable and Disney was going to win in all their lawsuits?

 

[wdwmagic]

It does impact the Federal lawsuit to some extent. Both parties will seek to defer briefing on the appeal while negotiating a new development agreement.
