Umm so far they haven’t lost to him yet. They got rid of the expenses of the special zone, but still have the power. And more importantly they made him look weak, dumb and petty.
Never bet against The Mouse.
What I don’t understand is why does Trump keep attacking DeSantis for doing the right thing here? He comes across as if he’s backing the groomers. He needs to fix his message on this or he will lose votes and we can’t afford for him to lose any votes right now because you know the deep state is all in on cheating.
They did lose to him. The whole reason they tried this illegal contract scheme is because they lost.
Disney has entire high profile law firms dedicated to one thing: Disney. I think this will be in the courts for years. Perhaps even long enough to wait out DeSantis last term in the governors office.

It’s a mouse for a reason, not a man. Hide and watch.
No they didn’t. He took far too long to make good on his promise, giving them the easy ability to end around him. So now they have all the benefits and none of the costs. And it will take years for a legal challenge to this probably quite legal contract to go wind through the courts. And it will be in effect that entire time. And DeSantis will be out long before then, and his replacement will probably give up. He should have never said what he was going to do, his only chance was to sneak up on them.
No hiding. Been watching for DECADES.
Disney
never
loses
Yeah I thought they’d challenge him in court before the change. As always Disney is far sneakier and smarter than even I give them credit for. The poison pilled him and forced him to take them to court. And just bet that the next round of AG and Governor elections will feature candidates who want to “end their costly and very personal legal battle with Disney”.
No, the analysis is correct on the law, with additional legal arguments also possible based on apparent ethical misconduct by Disney and the prior Reedy Creek Commissioners whom they controlled. In addition, the State of Florida has a wide range of other options that would make Disney pay hard for what they have done. With most state judges now being GOP appointees, the Mouse is headed for a painful and expensive experience in court.
good post. groomers lose in FL again.
thx Gov. Ron!
It will still take YEARS of legal battle to over turn it.
DeSantis telegraphed his punch
Disney got around it
He lost
And if he goes to court over it just that fact alone will lose again. Every single time the court fight hits TV and reminds Floridians how much they’re spending on this fight he will lose AGAIN. The Mouse isn’t worried about spending money in court. Huge corporations like that are in court all the time. Somebody is either trying to get from them, or they’re shutting something down. They pay their legal chief 15 million. That ain’t for looking pretty. That’s for kicking butt. All the time. Every day.
He screwed up.
An illegal contract is NOT an easy end-round. In fact it’s not an end-round at all.
Sorry but you’re wrong. And when this is still in court 2 years from now you’ll see that. It very much was an easy end around.
Really? Even pretending you’re right and it takes 2 years. That is still a win over the 30 years Disney wanted.
But it won’t be 2 years. DeSantis is the one gov that is doing great and winning. There is no denying that.
For heaven’s sake, Disney, just quit with the WOKE sh1t. It isn’t worth it.
What would Walt say?
Yes really. I didn’t say it will be over in 2 years. I said it will still be GOING ON in 2 years. It will be over when whoever replaced DeSantis gives up.
DeSantis has done some winning. But on this one he lost. Completely and totally. He talked too much, he took too long, he lost. And anybody denying that isn’t thinking.
I'd bet on DeSantis before I'd bet groomer mouse.
(and lots of folks aren't drinking Bud Light either...)
Or that means they know they’re going to be in a protracted legal battle and good PR will go a long way in getting the people of Florida to be tired of the fight and elect people who will promise to drop the case.
So you also got to admit Trump lost as well with all his terrible picks. Like Sessions, Barr, Wray, etc..
