There is a lot going on between Disney’s Reedy Creek District (now called the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District) and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Reedy Creek
On March 29th, 2023, the new Board of Supervisors that was appointed by DeSantis met for a second time to discuss several aspects of the District.
