The ongoing political conflict between The Walt Disney Company and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (previously known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District) may soon come to a head. Following the latest update in the state case between the CFTOD and Disney, more news may be coming soon.
For reference, Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board’s lawsuit came shortly after Disney filed a lawsuit against the Board and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The CFTOD Board filed a countersuit on May 1st, 2023. From there, Disney filed a motion to dismiss the CFTOD Board’s countersuit, stating the suit was “moot.” The CFTOD Board filed a response to Disney’s motion to dismiss, and finally, on July 14th, the judge heard arguments in the district’s lawsuit against Disney. Here’s what happens next.
