Walt Disney World’s governing district made up of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ appointees is dragging its feet in providing requested documents to Disney in a lawsuit over who has design and construction powers over the company’s sprawling theme park resort in central Florida, Disney said in court papers.
Disney on Thursday accused the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District of “dodging its obligations” and asked a Florida judge to delay any decision on whether the case should proceed until the company gets documents and conducts depositions needed to argue against a summary judgement requested by the district.
A hearing is scheduled for mid-December. Disney is seeking a delay of two and a half months.
I really love that he thought he could tango with Disney.
Disney eats mega lawsuits for breakfast. I’m trying to think of a publicly traded company that would be worse to piss off in the courts. Maybe Amazon or Microsoft, based on capital, but like… Disney is fucking litigious
I saw a comment about Disney lawyers a while back. This guy said he used to date a girl whose father was a Disney lawyer. He described the father as extremely intelligent, driven and completely soulless.
To be fair, that is every lawyer.
I’ve met plenty of lawyer who were not intelligent, let alone extremely intelligent.
I’ve been dealing with lawyers and court recently, they may be above average in terms of intelligence and drive but most wouldn’t be extremely above that average. I’ve had to explain fairly basic math, with easy numbers (fractions like 1/2 and 1/3 regarding pay structure), several times already. Ie
- base = 100
- bonus = 1/2 * base
- total = base + bonus.
Still had to explain that bonus is 1/3 total not 1/2 total.
Lawyer intelligence is logic games and analytical reasoning more than math.
i.e.
During a period of six consecutive days (day 1 - day 6) each of exactly six restaurants will be inspected by the department of health. During this period, each of the restaurants will be inspected exactly once, one restaurant per day. The schedule for the inspections must follow these conditions:
A is inspected on either day 1 or day 6.
D is inspected on an earlier day than E is inspected. E is inspected on the day immediately before F is inspected. If B is inspected on day 3, then E is inspected on day 5.
If the inspections of B and C are scheduled, not necessarily in that order, for days as far apart as possible, which one of the following is a complete and accurate list of the restaurants that any one of which could be scheduled for inspection for day 1?
Stuff like that is cake for lawyer brains.
That would still technically be a math problem. I’m not sure if it falls in combinatorics, statistics/probability, or scheduling, but I’ve had problems like this on math and cs exams.
No, it would be a logic problem. They are not the same.
Logic != Computer Science != Maths
Logic is the entire concept and point of Computer Science which builds completely on top of math.
Have you seen the Kraken legal team?
Nintendo doesn’t mess around in the court room.

My point is that even the most powerful can not step on Disney’s toes and see no accountability.
I have more faith that Disney will embarrass DeSantis in the courts than I do Trump ever setting foot inside a cell.
I suspect they are realizing how ‘in over their heads’ they really are. smh.
Loyalty over merit always results in this. No matter what the cause is. I manage a small team and nothing would get done if they didn’t tell me I was wrong when I am wrong.
