“A Low Blow” – Reedy Creek Board Criticized for Removal of Disney Annual Pass Benefits

By 14 Comments

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) held a board of supervisors meeting on August 23rd. During the meeting, members of the district met to express their comments and concerns regarding a long-held Reedy Creek District employee benefit that is set to be taken away under the new board.
