As do I.

You're conflating two distinct matters, at least as it pertains to my argument, which is that Disney's public stance was, and remains, frowned upon by vast swaths of the Republican party. Certainly one can disagree with Disney's stances while also disagreeing with the way that DeSantis responded to those stances, which is how most people I know, myself included, feel.
I’m not conflating anything. You have stated that an entire politcal party disapproves of how Disney handled this. Such a statement is simply untrue. There are many Republicans who have zero issue with what Disney did.

There are many republicans that would have zero idea any of this happened if DeSantis had not turned it into “a federal case”

The fight between Disney and DeSantis is their fight. Not Universal’s

DeSantis was wrong to dissolve RCID.

Disney is using 1A to try to regain control of the special district.

If you feel strongly Universal should get involved I am sure there is a Twitter mob out there you can get in contact with that would love attack Universal for literally minding their own business.
I never once said Universal should get involved, so maybe don’t put words in other people’s mouths. What I did point out, however, is how ridiculously absurd it is to claim that what is happening between Disney and the state government has no bearing on Universal.

The state created the special district (RCID) for TWDC to bring WDW to Florida.

Are you saying a special district created by the state cannot be dissolved by the state?

I sincerely want to understand.
The state didn't have the power to dissolve special districts until the passed an amendment last year (targeting Disney/RCID).

11. In 1967, the Florida Legislature created the Reedy Creek Improvement District
pursuant to H.B. 486, Chapter 67-764. The Walt Disney Company owned the majority of land within the boundaries of the RCID, and the Florida Legislature hoped that creating the RCID would assist the Walt Disney Company in its plans to develop this area of Central Florida.


Pedantic, but there was no The Walt Disney a company in 1967. That name didn’t exist until 1986.

I never ever said they had no basis to sue for 1A violations. If there is a post by me that says this show me.
I guess what I should have said is that you have implied that Disney should never have used their first amendment right.
Understood. And it feels good to express one's opinion using 1A and then there is the smart way to so something to actually get something done.

What is happening now is NOT the smart way.
Aside from the fact that from day one you have either chosen to be ignorant, or are feigning ignorance to how any of it works.
Below, your post from October of 2022.
It wouldn't at all.
The point is that RCID was created only to benefit Disney.
RCID is responsible for paying WDWs electric bill.
RCID is being dissolved and the Electric company is worried if the electric bill is going to be paid.
The point is that RCID was created to benefit the state of Florida and for Disney to pay for their own municipal services, since the counties couldn't afford to. Disney's electricity is managed by Reedy Creek Energy Services (a wholly-owned subsidiary of TWDC).

I only brought this post up because you have been making baseless and incorrect claims from day one.

18. Florida's elected representatives decided that it was time to reform the RCID and to put Disney on the same footing as every other Florida business. On April 22, 2022, Senate Bill 4-C became effective and thereby required the dissolution of the RCID on June 1, 2023. Disney, like all of the other successful tourism venues in the area, would be subject, at least in part, to regulation by Orange and Osceola Counties.

Amazing how the counties recognized that most authority would fall to the municipalities.

22. Then, on February 8, 2023, two days after the filing of HB 9 signaled that Disney's absolute rule over the District would soon come to an end, Disney quietly contrived with its puppet Board to extend Disney's governmental powers by contract.

They seem really committed to the hope that no judge in the process knows how a bill becomes a law. Thankfully Disney has a catchy song that can help them learn!
