[cinematicdiversions]

Florida hotel kicked out nearly 100 guests and fired staff just hours after it learned the business had been sold, forcing a number of disgruntled customers onto the street.

Champions World Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, abruptly shut down on Thursday after it learned that it had been sold to new owners.

The news forced management to inform guests that they had to vacate the property that day, with many being told they had to leave the hotel by 4 p.m, WOFL Fox 35 Orlando reported.

This is insane. I cannot believe this could be legal in any way.

3. Not 'legal' if there were contracts,

but gets complicated about who contracts were with; likely not the 'new management.'

FL may have legislation on the subject.

And, NEW management may want to consider effect on Public Relations, for the future.

6. It's Florida, They Make Their Own Laws Down There

It's their thing.

7. They closed the sale in the morning and are shutting off the lights by midnight? This...

doesn't sound real at all.

If it is (and looks like it is) it cannot possibly be legal. A busload of lawyers should be descending on the place to sue these "new owners".
