Disney has forward momentum in Florida.
Even as Walt Disney World has added new attractions in the last several years, much of the attention on Disney has focused on matters outside the theme parks. Specifically, Disney’s now-years-long political conflict with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which began as a political disagreement and then evolved into a legal battle between the two over Disney’s “special district” political privileges. The governor essentially took control of the body once known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District in early 2023, turning it into the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. However, in recent months, news of a settlement gave hope that the situation was turning a corner. Now, there’s even more evidence.
