Walt Disney World
Disney Sues the State of Florida & Florida Sues Back
Here are some key points from the lawsuits filed this week:
- Disney sought to establish greater autonomy in agreements filed with the outgoing board before the Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board took over.
- Angered when they realized what happened, the board immediately sought to take legal action to refute and nullify those agreements. This occurred even when Disney did so openly under Florida Sunshine Laws.
- When the board took that action, Disney filed a Federal lawsuit that would seek to remove all that DeSantis had enacted. This lawsuit takes place in a jurisdiction that covers Tallahassee.
- In return the board has filed a lawsuit against Disney stating they had no right to change the agreements before they took over. This lawsuit is taking place in a central Florida jurisdiction.
- The idea here is that if Disney can win their lawsuit, then the other has no effect, since Disney is trying to gain the right to dial back the clock and restore the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
- That lawsuit in Tallahassee seeks to establish that the governor was acting in a political bias against Disney, and that no government has a right to be punitive toward an organization or corporation because they have voiced a different political opinion.
- DeSantis has made so many public statements of his objection to how “woke” Disney is, that it’s hard to imagine that they could win in the lawsuit Disney is filing against them.
- If that’s the case, then the current board would go away and the RCID would be restored. But that may be some time in court before it completely plays out.
