Ron DeSantis and Disney have buried the hatchet in court over their nearly year-long war over the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill… and it looks like the governor and co. gave in.
Board members of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District — which took control of Reedy Creek from Disney — signed terms of a settlement Wednesday with the entertainment giant … ending ongoing litigation, something that Disney started it last year.

Disney states: “This agreement opens a new chapter of constructive engagement with the District’s new leadership and serves the interests of all parties by enabling significant continued investment and the creation of thousands of direct and indirect jobs and economic opportunities in the State.” .
At first glance, it appears that Disney is once again comfortable with the DeSantis administration – which is interesting… considering how bitter things have gotten between them in all of this.
Remember… Disney fired the first shot in court by suing DeSantis and his new board of directors – who took control of the Disney Autonomous District at their request… something they claimed was done for nothing more than retaliation for Disney’s stance against RDS. policies.
Specifically, Disney spoke out against a bill that DeSantis had signed – which limited what children in public schools could learn about gender identity, etc. – resulting in much back and forth between the Governor and the Mouse House… and eventually, Ron kidnapping Reedy Creek.
Ron said he had every right to do so…even toying with the idea of what Florida officials might do with the area after he took it out of Disney’s control. DeSantis’ new board of directors actually countersued Disney after claiming they found a loophole to make them powerless in their new roles… but now, that’s all over with this latest development
The only thing that’s still unclear… who’s really running Reedy Creek right now.
