That’s not a high bar from storytelling.It would probably still be better than the garbage Disney has put out in the last couple years.
Production and editing is still on point though

Disney has filed a new lawsuit today against the CFTOD.
Here are the details via News 6 (there's a copy of the complaint at the link below).
"Walt Disney Parks and Resorts filed a lawsuit late Friday accusing the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, or CFTOD, of failing to preserve and turn over public records in violation of Florida law and the state’s constitution.
The entertainment company is asking an Orange County circuit court judge to set an “immediate” hearing to declare that CFTOD is unlawfully withholding public records and order the agency to immediately provide Disney with all outstanding requested records.
Earlier this year, the Florida legislature made several changes to the special taxing district, formerly known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which provides government services to the Walt Disney World resort property.
In February, Gov. Ron DeSantis replaced Disney loyalists on the district’s board with his own appointees.
In its newly filed lawsuit, Disney claims CFTOD has failed to fully respond to a public record request the company submitted to the government agency on May 11.
The lawsuit also accuses CFTOD of allowing District employees and board members to use personal electronic devices and personal email and messaging accounts for government business without adequate processes to ensure public records are preserved or produced.
Disney claims as many as 50 employees have departed CFTOD since DeSantis appointed the new board in February, with remaining employees “exhausted” and lacking confidence in the new administration.
“On the public records front, this has led to delays, inadequate preservation, storage and production of public records, and improper and unsupported claims of privilege and exemption from disclosure, in violation of the Florida Constitution and (Florida’s Public Record Act),” the lawsuit states.
According to Disney’s complaint, CFTOD relies on board members and employees, including District Administrator Glenton Gillian, to “self-select text messages or emails responsive to public record requests on their own, without technical instruction from the District or any effort to verify compliance.”
Disney’s lawsuit alleges that CFTOD failed to preserve data from the personal devices of departing employees.
A CFTOD spokesperson did not immediately respond to the lawsuit, which was filed shortly before the close of business day Friday ahead of the Christmas holiday weekend."

Gee, it's almost like they have something (or many somethings) to hide.Disney has also filed a Motion to Compel Discovery in the lawsuit in state court. Shockingly, it seems the CFTOD is still managing their discovery obligations with the same good faith and diligence that they bring to their management of the district .
I’m sure all of the DVC owners will be furious to learn that Disney didn’t consult them on an agreement that maintain Walt Disney World as a theme park resort.The district’s lawyers assert that The Celebration Company, Golden Oak Development LLC, and Flamingo Crossings LLC were “affected property owners.”
LOL! Those are Disney subsidiaries you fools!

Doesn’t Disney have total control of the DVC condominium associations as well?I’m sure all of the DVC owners will be furious to learn that Disney didn’t consult them on an agreement that maintain Walt Disney World as a theme park resort.
I am the last person to ask about the details of DVC. My point of reference to this whole issue is that the US Army has to ask Disney’s permission to change the paint on their building. Unless there’s so state timeshare law precluding such control I find it hard to believe Disney doesn’t control them.Doesn’t Disney have total control of the DVC condominium associations as well?
yes, Disney maintains control of the condo associations. All owners have pledged their proxies to Disney to vote for them.I am the last person to ask about the details of DVC.

Oh, and the individuals they list are the previous board members who entered into the agreements. So they’re once again saying those involved didn’t inform themselves.
Where did you find this?At least one CFTOD official has been deposed (according to Disney’s lawsuit under the Public Records legislation)

Pretty much everything a government agency does in Florida is public record. You can write a sticky note as a state/local worker and it could, in some cases, be considered public record.So help a novice, not a lawyer, understand. CFTOD has been around for what, less than a year? Is Disney looking for public records from that time? Or are they looking for records from back when RCID was in place? I mean, if it's from the past year, it cannot be that much to gather them all. Though the filing from 12/22 says CFTOD turned over 888 documents, apparently they want 889+? Those cannot be all from just 2023, could they?
So then CFTOD turned over 888 pages of paperclip requisition forms but nothing of substance in all likelihood? I'm still curious over the time period requested.Pretty much everything a government agency does in Florida is public record.

I'm not sure but it only makes sense that Disney is looking for what that band of idiots have done since taking over. They've had plenty of time to do a lot of questionable things. What little I read of it, it seems to be looking for what money is going to specific political friends and allies.So help a novice, not a lawyer, understand.
