NEWS: Disney World Could Be Getting NEW Roads Soon

By 1 Comment

As Disney’s ongoing political battle with Florida governor Ron DeSantis is starting to settle, it seems that changes will soon be made across Disney’s special district.

Although we are still waiting for a ruling on an appeal that Disney filed at the federal level, the state-level case reached a settlement. As a refresher, this state court case (2023-CA-011818-O: CENTRAL FLORIDA TOURISM OVERSIGHT DISTRICT vs. WALT DISNEY PARKS AND RESORTS US INC) was brought by the district against Disney. It claimed that certain agreements Disney entered into with the old board were null and void. Disney later filed a countersuit against the CFTOD board, claiming that they willfully failed to search for and produce documents pertinent to the case. A settlement was reached in March that includes the dismissal of the documents case as well. Now that a settlement has been reached, it seems that DeSantis’s oversight board is considering upgrades near Disney World.

Since the battle began, Disney paused all donations to local politicians, but it seems that that is now changing.
