Disney's Power Play: Handicapping the Reedy Creek Board.

Disney executives and attorneys signed a development agreement with the Reedy Creek improvement district’s board that allowed the company maximum developmental power over its territory for the next 30 years, effectively poisoning the authority of the incoming members appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The agreement allows Disney the maximum possible density and building heights inside Walt Disney World, and other property owners will need Disney’s permission to expand within the district. Board members and their attorneys called the agreement insane and extreme, and said its sheer scale should make it null and void. A legal battle is expected to ensue.
