Company Files Lien Against Cinderella's Castle
Disney Says Lien In Process Of Being Withdrawn
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A lien has been filed against the crown jewel of Disney's Magic Kingdom -- Cinderella's Castle -- Local 6 News reported Thursday.
Specialty Products and Insulation told Local 6 News that it's owed money for materials that they provided for the castle's recent makeover.
To ensure that a contractor will pay them, the company filed a construction lien for $3,984.87 against Magic Kingdom Cinderella's Castle.
SPI said the money is for materials it used to build a new stage outside the castle where Disney characters sing and dance. The castle was also upgraded with ornate decorations, tile mosaics and a deluxe bathroom.
If Disney ever tried to sell the castle -- something it said it has no plans of doing -- the subcontractor would likely have to be paid before the deal could finalized, Local 6 News reported.
For the record, Disney does not owe SPI any money; the dispute is between SPI and the contractor that hired it, Local 6 News reported.
Local 6 News also reported that liens similar to this one are common in the construction industry, and in recent years, liens were placed against other Disney structures such as It's a Small World, Haunted Mansion, Spaceship Earth and Expedition Everest.
Disney officials told Local 6 News that the subcontractor in this instance had no legal right to stake a claim on Cinderella's Castle, and the lien is in the process of being withdrawn.
Is this nuts or what ? ? ?
