News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

[GoofGoof]

Could be two rounds of appeals - 3 judge panel (in which case the draw matters) and possibly en banc.

On appeal they would have to rule the original judge‘s decision was flawed. Not saying that is difficult but it’s a higher bar than arguing the original case. It will be interesting to see play out. It’s also possible….maybe sorta kinda possible….that if Disney wins the initial trial and if the Governor is a failed lame duck at that point that the legislature will come to the table and look to settle the dispute for good outside of court.

Except en banc reviews are very rarely granted. The three judge panel is what will matter.

I’ve said this many times and people scoffed at me for it, but I expected them to use the invalidation of the DA as the key to go after it all, including the changing of RCID - and that’s exactly what they did.

Wouldn’t be surprised if a summary judgement was issued based on the filing. It won’t happen, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Not sure if this was already mentioned. A rare defection in the legislature, though he does sit squarely in Trump's camp, 2024-wise.

A bit off topic there chief.

Perhaps… I was responding to all the posters who were nervous about president Desantis in 2024 earlier in the thread…IMO I disagree… I don’t think that is going to happen…this thread moves so fast who can keep up

Amazing how the company can handle itself when someone with an ounce of EQ and social presence is in charge, isn't it?*

Bob C had apparently never heard that old adage about "It's not what you say but..."

*Still not an Iger fan but he at least knows how to work the crowd and understands why it's important to do so.

If Slappy was still at the helm he probably would have sold the property to DeSantis by now.

Would be a great time to give cast back their 40% off at resort restaurants….

This was so great. We have so many CMs that are close friends. We would pick a place and we would pick up the tab and they would pay the tip. We pretty much broke even and they had a very cheap meal. I can't tell you how many great meals we had!

I'll vote for anyone who can restore some dining discounts.

I'm still hung up on the idea that if this gets to damages, the judge should take in to account not just what Disney may ask for, but the claims made by the other side who boasted about the 1/2 drop in market value (go woke, go broke).
I have no idea if there's precedent for "boastful damages" but I'd like to imagine there's some way to stretch a "Declaration Against Interest" where this could be factored in.

Desantis gives me extreme Krennic vibes

From State Rep Anna Eskamani:

Reading the replies on that post is both encouraging and depressing. The vast majority were for Disney but her followers probably skew left so it’s not surprising they’d be anti DeSantis.

It’s a bit alarming how many of the anti Disney replies have completely bought the “not paying their share” lie though, nearly every antiD reply was parroting what DeSantis has said.

Still waiting to see if this will in any way shape or form impact the move of WDI to Lake Nona. It already was pushed back to 2026.

I believe the date was pushed back since the building they’ll be moving to won’t be built until then. Unrelated to this nonsense

Disney Taps O'Melveny, Wilmer In Legal Fight Against Gov. Ron DeSantis | Daily Business Review

The company said it had been left with no choice but to fight back against DeSantis in the courts, citing a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint in the federal suit filed Wednesday.
