Disney Drops Lawsuits Against Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, Concedes Last-Minute Deal Void

Hours before CFTOD took authority, Disney entered into a last-minute Development Agreement with the former Reedy Creek board to grant itself additional powers and perpetual property rights.

"We are glad that Disney has dropped its lawsuits against the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and conceded that their last-minute development agreements are null, void, and unenforceable. No corporation should be its own government. 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," said Griffin.

During a press conference Wednesday, DeSantis said, "Everything we've done has been in the best interest of the State of Florida, and we have been vindicated on all those actions. Going forward, we're going to continue to govern with the best interests of the State of Florida. So I'm glad that they were able to do that that settlement."
