You're going "wife shopping" at DS?


(Sorry. I couldn't resist. )

Mall at Millenia has better variety.

Stand outside T-Rex for 30 minutes and you'll find one that's ready to trade

Is this Disney related? What's the dumb Brevard sheriff gotta do with it?

And the lawyers just keep getting richer.

Ironically the lawyers don’t care how it comes out.

Maybe he will say something else to incriminate himself.

Yet another saying Disney has a good chance of winning this.

Disney is taking Ron DeSantis to courtâand theyâre probably going to win

These actions set an incredibly sinister precedent.

Whatever the outcome, these actions set an incredibly sinister precedent of using the government and all its might to attack businesses for merely expressing beliefs in contrast to the ruling party of where they operate. That’s not how free, capitalist countries operate.

 

[Brian]

Maybe he will say something else to incriminate himself.

Unlikely, as it's a "law and order" press conference. Perhaps someone in the press pool will ask about this situation, though.

ETA: Not the show.

The partners and shareholders will.

The ones doing actual work will just see more work for the same salary.

Actually my wife was shopping. She hates politics but loves shopping. And one last thing, I love Grumpy, my wife buy me a new Grumpy shirt every visit.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Why am I not surprised

The weird Barney Fife vibe didn’t tip you off?

 

[kong1802]

We are leaving Boardwalk tomorrow. I also guess there is no hiding anymore. After several interviews by different tv stations and wife shopping at DS we are off to AK for the rest of the day.

I'm proud of you, bud!

 

[Smiley/OCD]

That would be a large escalation by Disney. As generally risk adverse and more politically neutral, I do not expect to see Disney do this.

However, from the outside where I don't have to worry about any repercussions or running a business, it would be interesting to see.

At some point, the existential threat will overcome the risk aversion. Combined with a question of general timing to the calendar. When that happens, it's not like Disney has the resources of a multi national mega corporation and multiple media outlets that can be leveraged directly against a political figure to show them in a bad light. Wait, it's exactly that, and they have chosen not to so far.

Maybe they could put that giant LED billboard on the building on I Drive to good use…lol

If there is a shuttle launch over at the Coast on that day, can DeSantis be one of the passengers ?

Well it’s better used for that than trying to distract from the gigantic new park complex around the back of the parking garage it’s on…

…billion dollar movie IP in there now

Universal and Illuminations...... ARE WINNING ....... While the Gov and TWDC waste time and money making the lawyers rich.

But it will move the needle for the donor class and likely key influence makers in conservative circles. DeSantis and his cronies are less receptive to hear a message from folks that says “you all are bigots and always have been, I hate you, yada yada.”

Whether they admit it or not, if they feel like Wall Street Journal reading/Fox watching traditionally right-leaning economic minded voters are tiring of this drama many of his followers will start to defect as we’re seeing cracks in the legislature.

This is straight out of the Robert B. Cialdini classic.

 

[MrPromey]

Wrong. All the taxes, local, county and state went back to them. Under the Reedy Creek District all went to them. It's on the old Reedy Creek District official website

Link for those of us who can't seem to find anything there saying that?

 

[LAKid53]

According to reporting they will be discussing the lawsuit among other things. I can’t see how discussing the lawsuit is a good idea for them at this point but it should be entertaining.

Board overseeing Disney’s special district discusses lawsuit at Monday meeting

The board overseeing Disney’s special district is set to meet again Monday.

news.yahoo.com

Discussion:

"We have instructed counsel to review our options in response to the lawsuit The Walt Disney Corporation filed against members of the OCTOD Board of Supervisors in the Northern District of Florida on April 26, 2023. Per counsel, we will make no comments regarding the pending litigation at this time."

That SHOULD be the discussion. But I'm sure some on the Board won't be able to keep their mouths shut.
