I’ve been here half of my life. When I lived in Windermere, the fastest toll-free option to get to my workplace in Osceola County or see family in Celebration was through Disney property.

It might not be common, but it happens.

It's probably more common than you think. We've done it many times when staying off property going to places that aren't Disney

From parts of West Orange County, the fastest way to the airport is through WDW.

For those of us who didn’t watch, what’s the context here?

Competent and ethical attorneys don't threaten to countersue without cause.

They should have said nothing and worked behind the scenes to get the law changed. Many, many times laws were passed to be later changed or reverted.

You’re contradicting yourself. That laws get changed is exactly why the released statement should have elicited absolutely no reaction.

 

[durangojim]

Kinda sad. If any of that was sincere he lived in a serious echo chamber. Did he really not realize what he was getting into?

Everything he said is exactly why the people who should be in public office are not in public office. Who wants to be put up with the crap?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Wow, just keep lying. Amazing to learn that urban planning was not a profession in 1967. Or that the Comprehensive Plan created last year was actually written in 1967.

They actually urban planned Philadelphia in the 1600s…

The fact it turned out to be the ugliest city in the history of the universe just means they needed better planners

More incomprehensible flailing that, on the surface, makes them look ignorant or incompetent. If they win at the Federal level, a state suit is unnecessary, and if they lose at the federal level, a state suit is moot, so what's their play here?

• They somehow genuinely think that a win at the state level has some bearing on the outcome regardless of the federal case
• They think that if they get a crony state judge to rush through a judgement in their favor before the federal case is heard, it gives them more leverage
• They're panicking and just throwing everything they can at the wall, even if they know it won't work.
• It's more of the governor's table-banging tantrum
• It's all just political theater (or "theatre" for the Brits, Canucks, & Aussies)
• Some combination of the above

When the parks close at night I would not want to be on the local roads at WDW when thousands of cars are exiting around the same time. But if one wants fireworks to fall on your car or zigzag around the shells try driving on Osceola Parkway where the fireworks are launched off the side of the roadway when the shells at times fall on the roadway for the DHS fireworks show.

The board's attorney's are neither ethical or competent otherwise they wouldn't have been hired

IMHO it's just more pounding the table

Here's to hoping they do something while on the board which warrants a complaint to the Florida Bar.

Seeing that happen wouldn't surprise me in the least

I’m very impatiently waiting to read the complaint. Hopefully it is filed soon.

Hopefully they come to their senses and stop this charade

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

It's impossible to get in and out of there.

Corpus Christi in Celebration is way better.

Traffic sucks there…

But I couldn’t care less…as in line with 98.5% of the wdw visitors on property in history

Lighting lane waits for no mortal man!

I guess I just meant, what did they actually say?

Just a little more surrounding context.

Can’t even wrap the brain around it…

Lol…I thought you were serious there for a second.

 

[Batman'sParents]

Are the attorneys, Disney retained for state or federal only?

 

[Figgy1]

We can always hope the legal world's equivalent of the 3 ghosts visit the board's lawyers

I would think

1. They’re happy to find more ways to spend Disney’s money and
2. DeSantis needs good press / to look strong as he’s about to announce a presidential bid while his numbers are tanking and everyone is taking shots at him over this
