<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disney</a> and Florida officials have agreed to settle in a legal battle over the special tax district that houses the entertainment giant’s landmark resort.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board sued Disney over an agreement that the previous board members struck with the corporation before they were replaced by Governor Ron DeSantis. The new settlement, which voided the previous agreement, was hailed by both Disney and DeSantis’ office.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DeSantis communications director Bryan Griffin said that Disney conceded that the settlement makes the previous agreement “null and void.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“No corporation should be its own government,” Griffin told </span><a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/desantis-spikes-the-ball-as-disney-drops-suit-challenging-loss-of-special-district-status/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">National Review</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “Moving forward, we stand ready to work with Disney and the District to help promote economic growth, family-friendly tourism, and accountable government in Central Florida.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Walt Disney World Resort President Jeff Vahle said the settlement sets the framework for future investment in the resort. Disney leaders have previously said that the feud with DeSantis would negatively impact the corporation’s investments in the state.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This agreement opens a new chapter of constructive engagement with the new leadership of the district and serves the interests of all parties by enabling significant continued investment and the creation of thousands of direct and indirect jobs and economic opportunity in the State,” Vahle said, according to </span><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03/27/desantis-disney-lawsuit-settlement-tourism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Washington Post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The feud between the Florida governor and the entertainment giant began in 2022 when Disney spoke out against the state’s proposed Parental Rights in Education bill, which critics denounced as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, for banning sexual orientation and gender identity lessons for young students.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In response to Disney’s activism, Florida Republicans targeted the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which gave Disney special tax breaks and a host of other advantages over the area that includes Walt Disney World. DeSantis signed legislation in February 2023 abolishing the special district and setting up the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board.</span></p>
