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

[mikejs78]

This motion is not yet showing on the Clerk of Court’s website. It seems like an odd strategy as it treats the state law as valid. Disney has essentially opened the door for the District to make changes and start doing things with their property.

I think this motion is brilliant. They make a compelling argument on motion to dismiss. At all costs, Disney wants to avoid a state court ruling against them, and wants this in federal court. A federal ruling would win out, but federal courts are also very deferential to state court rulings. A finding that the contracts were invalid because they weren't properly executed would somewhat harm Disney's case. A finding tthat the contracts are invalid because the legislature says so plays right into Disney's federal case. So a dismissal for mootness seems to be exactly what they need - and short of that, a stay, which FL law at least from this reading seems very clear about.

Disney hired good lawyers.

One thing I’ve found is that CFTOD’s pleadings are painful to read when measured against the elegant simplicity of Disney’s. Disney’s team excels at tying their specific arguments to general principles of law.

Kinda shows the magnitude of difference in caliber of the respective side's attorneys.

Courts are not supposed to let that kind of thing no make a difference, but it can. Not in this case, though. They’ll have enough trouble trying to keep the politics out of it - or get the politics in if that’s the goal.

I don't believe it's the calber of lawyers. The State and CFTOD hired very good lawyers. The problem is their case stinks.

Say what you like but Iger is the alpha Dog here.

We’re in agreement

Some uploads, nothing that interesting.

From Disney v DeSantis, a motion for reconsideration to piggyback on this suit by another alleged 1A victim of DeSantis, and another denial.

 

[mkt]

And from CFTOD v Disney, the motion to dismiss and an email designation

 

[mkt]

Going back to look for myself, but didn't someone else try to piggy back the Federal case or is this the same person????

Same person

You can't have two bodies fighting over who declares the contract with the old RCID board annulled.

Unless you declare double secret annulment.

Like game of thrones??

…I think dragons might actually help settle this…

When I think about how many years these legal battles will go on I get depressed but then I think, heck, we had WALLS in EPCOT for how many years for the total failure that is the EPCOT renovation, then I think, time will pass, walls will go up and come down and someday we can get back to complaining about, MOBBED theme parks, constant price increases, rained out Christmas parties, etc.

Not that we do not still complain about these things now, but we can better focus on them... someday

Don’t bash me for saying or asking this but depending on how things continue to go and in a worse case scenario, would Iger consider shutting down WDW until the situation gets resolved? Obviously it would severely hurt the company but I would think it would also securely hurt the state of FL. Id imagine that would not be a good situation for DeSantis to be in.

No that would not be an option for a host of reasons

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

But…hypothetically it would cripple the state In about 3 Months.

The destruction would be shocking.

But it’s not a possibility as you said

And even if it were an option, it wouldn’t be a wise one. Also for a host of reasons.
