This has all become such a circus with lots of clowns. It’s a shame Iger couldn’t have just tried to meet with DeSantis after Chapek left and tried to patch it up and blame it all on him like he did other things.

I’m afraid this is all going to get worse before it gets better

I’m sure Disney would have happily done that if it was an option.

 

[RamblinWreck]

For a board that’s partly comprised of actual licensed attorneys, I expected them to know better.

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

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Do these fools actually know that saying “aha! We won in hack appointed state court!!” Has zero bearing on the federal suit?

 

[WDWHero]

So the guys would couldn’t read meeting minutes are suing Disney back? Lots of “they started it!” toddler energy.

I don’t even know anymore. Sometimes I think it’s kayfabe, other times I feel they are just that stupid.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Or (and I'm just spitballing here) the governor of one of the largest states in the union should quit acting like a petulant toddler.

Well the more backstory the press digs up…that’s the people NOT on tv…the answer is becoming clear as “No”

I’m sure Disney would have happily done that if it was an option.

They say in their lawsuit they tried to do just that.

“The company sought to de-escalate the matter for nearly a year, trying several times to spark a productive dialogue with the DeSantis Administration. To no avail.”

Iger did try to meet with DeSantis, it’s in the lawsuit. The DeSantis administration wasn’t interested

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.

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

 

[lazyboy97o]

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

It might not be common, but it happens.

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
