It does say that any party to the contract can challenge the compliance of the agreement with the requirements set forth.

I think if RCID didn’t mail those notices, Disney is in trouble. Now, I find it hard to believe that they didn’t, but I am worried. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, as they say.

Not with these folks, there isn't.

DeSantis has a news conference scheduled Monday in Lake Buena Vista, a Disney-controlled city. He will be joined by Wilton Simpson, the commissioner of agriculture and consumer affairs, a state agency that handles many state inspections. DeSantis has previously suggested that in retaliation for Disney’s maneuvering, the state would consider taking over inspections on the company’s properties. CNN previously reported that DeSantis’ office had instructed the district to halt pool inspections.

Simon Conway, the host of Good Morning Orlando, asked DeSantis if he would agree to a meeting with Disney CEO Bob Iger to resolve the conflict. Iger had recently told Time magazine that he would welcome a sit down with the Republican governor.

DeSantis said he would if Disney accepted “that they are not going to live under a different set of rules than everyone else.”

“If we can get there, fine,” he said. “But we’re not there yet.” "

In California does the state inspect the rides or do they delegate that authority to the theme parks?

I’m curious if this is something that a standard across-the-board or was Florida an exception to the rule?

no, the OP asked what was left presuming the contracts won’t be stricken:

“1) the contracts themselves are unenforceable, or 2) that the district exceeded their authority to enter into them, what is the most likely challenge path forward.”

I said “possibly” would be if there was some deficiency in the proper notices or whatnot. I don’t think that’s likely at all, but assuming the contracts are air tight - and they appear to be - that’s the only play left given known (or unknown) facts.

Whoa, pal. Can't you see everyone is busy crapping on DeSantis right now? Don't come in here with your well-reasoned and valid questions that pertain to the topic at hand.

But. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way for Disney to be under the same set of rules as everyone else would have been to get rid of Reedy Creek, so that everything went to the city/county, like Universal, SeaWorld and Busch. By keeping Reedy Creek, DeSantis kept Disney under its own set of rules - but thought he could add a council of his goons to tell Disney what to do.

Tsk tsk. Actual facts with verifiable proof don't matter in this situation.

In California, yes, the state inspects rides and increased oversight following the fatal malfunction of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in 2003. How states regulate amusement rides is not uniform and there are still some states that do not. Since it is a state issue the particulars of what and how vary.
