finally!!

Elite lawyers tend not to be headquartered in offices on Lee Road.

Well they're certainly not paying the $725/hr rate to read old documents that mean nothing.

Bit of an amature operation isn't it. The audio levels are all over the place.

I think we are lucky it is even streaming

 

[flynnibus]

so their lawyer is outlining 3 reasons the developer agreement is 'invalid'

1) the RCID board didn't have the planning authority over the cities... so the agreement is invalid
2) that they didn't follow the required procedures....
3) that the move was unconstiutional (state constitution)

supposedly these are outlined in detail in their handout

Someone who enjoys Disney as a guest is less likely to come in with a "burn it to the ground" mindset. I'm not saying he was there for work, but it's good if he LIKES the parks.

I'm curious if credentialed RCID employees - which board members would qualify - get free admission, similar to CM's.

I think this is the first time the words "elite" and "Lee Road" have ever appeared in the same sentence.

"we didn't pick the fight, Disney picked the fight"

Funny... he's omitting all the statements made BEFORE they met with the Disney people after being appointed.

You edited your post to add this text after I responded to it.

To address your additional points...

Your original assertion is that losing the monorail would be a "cluster." Would transportation to/from MK be slower and/or less convenient for some resort guests? Probably. But there's enough alternative options that I still don't see how it's enough of a logistical nightmare to warrant being called a "cluster."

As for Epcot; there's already park bus infrastructure from the monorail resorts with routes to AK and HS, and Disney manages to add bus service to both Epcot and HS for the Skyliner resorts (which have significantly more guests than the monorail resorts) when that goes down, so I think they would manage just fine having to add a bus route to Epcot if the monorail went out of service.

So do I think there's zero impact if the monorails shut down? Of course not. I just don't think it becomes a "cluster" for Disney if the state decides to push things that far.

Disney will never pay to rebuild the monorail as currently constructed. Reedy creek’s loss only makes that more of a certainty.

When it goes…it’s gone

They are if it's all a part of the same big grift.

Reps JimBob, TommyJo and Cletus 1000% picked a fight…
…with everyone…to try and get more money

 

[flynnibus]

haha.. by banning public health restrictions... we can assure people that it will no longer be a problem.

LOL

 

[Kamikaze]

I literally cannot believe they're still focused on COVID restrictions.

You continue to give validity to people whose iqs and third from the right on the evolutionary chart

"this is protecting businesses..."

From who? themselves? By banning your ability to make your own decisions... we are protecting you. lol

Problem is that the district's money has to come from somewhere, so they can't afford Cooper & Kirk to do all of this work. They know they're not going to get approval to raise taxes. The firefighters will be pretty upset when they don't get a pay raise because CFTOD has to pay all these lawyers.

 

[durangojim]

Good god no. The Skyliner is awful.

Replacing the monorail with some kind of efficient resort wide mass transit (light rail?) would be okay, though.

I love the Skyliner, what don't you like about it?

No question. Bus or Skyliner?

You wanna know why?
