Disney World has been embroiled in a battle over the Reedy Creek Improvement District with Florida lawmakers since a bill was introduced (and later signed into law) to dissolve the district and its special tax status.
The decision from lawmakers (including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis) came after Disney spoke out against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law — referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” Law by dissidents — and will take effect in June 2023. With Disney’s recent CEO shake-up, though, the future of the Reedy Creek Improvement District may not be so bleak after all.
