Putting aside all the "opinions" being written on this site, people have forgotten the real reason Disney got this benefit .... it was an incentive to get them to build in Florida. To build in an area of Florida which was literally a sand box. Nobody wanted to move inland in those days, everyone was headed for the breaches.

Any smart attorney (and Disney probably has dozens of them on call) can site this clause and then call the case one of malice for going against the politics in Florida They can then suggest very loudly that if they are denied special privileges granted to them in the 1960s, what about the dozens of other developers who are benefiting from the same clause they were offered.

This is a no win any way you look at it and could end up being disastrous for Florida.
