Since everything DeSantis did was in response to Disney’s first amendment rights, the case should be dismissed. The board acted while it had the authority to act, and it provided proper notice of its meeting to the world. Just because DeSantis screwed up doesn’t give him the right to avoid legal decisions made by the outgoing board.
DeSantis is vindictive and petty. He went after Disney because they had the nerve to disagree with the Gov. That’s their freedom of speech.
Only DeSantis would go after our biggest tourist destination and a huge tax payer. DeSantis is not “leader” quality!
It’s ridiculous that this is going on. He’s supposed to be our governor. Why is his so important to him? Leave Disney alone and actually do some governing for a change.
YES! Please help fix our broken insurance system, pay attention to the communities damaged by weather, and stop making it harder to hire great teachers for our children.
We pay the governor to work for us, not too work for his own political interests.
It was pretty obvious that DeSantis had over reached based on his “personal” feelings against Disney. Very improper for an elected official and the Governor at that.
I hope Disney wins and shows Ron Deathsantis he is not king of Florida, or America,,,,Ron has been doing things so very very wrong and possibly illegal ( My opinion) but I don’t know for sure,,,,I can’t wait for him to be removed from office
DeSantis needs to go back to governing the state and STOP using tax $$ to try and get back at WDW .. he needs to turn his attention to the rising cost of homeowners insurance, the homeless, education and the elderly… the mouse is the states largest employer and tourism which the Orlando and surrounding areas depend on
I am glad a resolution has come to common sense. DeSantis is a bully. However, WDW needs to stay of politics and stay with entertainment. I had vowed never to return due to their stance on this issue. Being a former school teacher, that is a parental issue not the school or government.
So why is the government getting involved? Shouldn’t it be left up to the parents to boycott if they choose to? If it’s all about parental choice, then why perfect then from having a choice?
I personally would like to know that my children are receiving entertainment that exists then to all sides and allows them to think independently rather than accept the indoctrination that DeSantis encourages.
Oh wait… I guess as a FORMER school teacher you don’t care how damaging his tenure has been for education. I guess it’s up to us who are suffering in schools due to him to clean up the mess.
Let Disney continue to decide its fate. It is the largest employer in the state and brings in millions to the Orlando area. Desantis is a baby man, who wants to ban classic books and dismantle higher education. He’s a dictator in platform boots.
Nothing you can do about it either.. GOP rules the state until you allow Dems to offer something different in perspective.. IF THEY CAN.. Since this wont be the case, youre stuck with the red agendas..
I believe Walt Disney will come out on top. Mr. Walt Disney choose Florida to be bigger and better park while keeping the environment for the animals intact and it’s a shame that he didn’t see his dream come true for the opening of the park this is just a disagreement by two children playing in a sandbox that couldn’t get along. DeSantis was just looking to pick a fight although he had done a lot of good for Florida but you should not pick on the people who pay their money that they earn which is very little under biden’s administration that it’s hard for them to go and you’re bashing a park where even the adults in the children for the day and forget about their problems The Santa’s if I do remember correctly you got engaged to your wife at Disney as so many people do and I’m sure you have taken your children there so for that I do not understand why you picked a fight Disney is self-contained which is great they have their own fire department water they grow their own food so they had very little use for any mainstream merchandise or using up more tax dollar money by having their own electricity growing their own food and having their own fire department which would provide help to someone who needs it because they also allow make a wish foundation to come in and so those children could have and be a child and not think about their illness and having the emergency on site in case something happened to one of those children and you needed medical attention immediately it was there they also have a gas station on property they have restaurants even a McDonald’s Mr Walt Disney thought of it all whenever he came down here bought property to build the grandest
Entertainment place for adults and children alike so even the adults could go if they didn’t have children and have that childhood memory. Disney is full of history that descendants you are trying to destroy so I believe Walt Disney world will win the case!!!!!!!!!!
DeSantis needs to back away from his retaliation strikes and leave Disney alone. Just because DeSantis got butt hurt when Chapek didn’t bow down to lord DeSantis, he goes after Disney? What business will DeSantis go after next? The bakery he doesn’t like? Perhaps a grocery chain that miffed him? DeSantis is nothing short of a dictator and he needs to be stopped.
Its a GOP red state.. deal with it and stop whining like babies.. OR Miraculously you want to go Blue.. instead.. Hmmm…. still thinking means youre staying red and dealing with this crap no matter how painful.. What a pity..
Not for long, friend. Elections matter. GOP took a lot of hits this month, as Ramaswamy admitted quite plainly in the last debate. Deal with it. At least you’ll always have these comment threads for whining and venting, though.
DeSantis has shown a repeated pattern of stacking boards, Disney, new college, gru, etc… Then overpaying the new hires costing florida much money. Look for the latest departures of the Disney board, also look at the latest contracts reported by Florida News sources. DeSantis on mow the swamp we should be protectrd from.
This is a clear case of political retaliation by DeSantis and his right wing minions. Talk about weaponizing government! I think the First Amendment applies in Florida just like the other 49. Disney will win, or there is no justice.

Captain High Heels Cowboy Boots is a moron.

He is going to be too busy to deal with this so stick it to him. Disney needs to be free and clear of his ire.

Disney. This is yet another example of DeSantis flexing his muscles without training first. His authoritarian practices are dangerous to the state.

So are you saying that the 1st Amendment doesn’t apply to Disney? Plus it’s okay for Government to go after a Corporation with targeted laws?
Janet S.

DeSantis is a low life jerk and a vengeful governor . Yeah for the Mouse

I think DeSantis is a joke! I do not understand how he got re-elected here in Florida. I love Florida, but hate that he is our governor!

This was illegible. A bit of free advice: Punctuation is your friend. Also, maybe stop using voice-to-text while driving.
Cheesy Floridian
No I think DeSantis will lose.
Barbara
I think DeSantis should keep his nose out of something (Disney business) that has run smoothly for years. I stand with Disney.
Simone Hrin
I believe Disney will prevail, and if they don’t, it would be total bs.

Doesnt sound like much of a victory to me

Desantis needs to get out of things he don’t understand or know anything about it. That does include being a Governor or President.

If DeSantis wants to run for president then he NEEDS to stop focusing on Disney and instead focus solely on his state and national issues instead

DeSantis has shown a repeated pattern of stacking boards, Disney, new college, gru, etc… Then overpaying the new hires costing florida much money. Look for the latest departures of the Disney board, also look at the latest contracts reported by Florida News sources. DeSantis on mow the swamp we should be protectrd from.
