DeSantis vs. Disney: The Battle for Florida's Future

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' appointees are proposing to eliminate a planning board and prohibit mask mandates and COVID-19 vaccine requirements in Disney World's governing body. The agenda also includes a resolution asserting the board's "superior authority" over the district that covers Disney World's 27,000 acres. This is part of an ongoing battle between DeSantis and Republican state lawmakers against Disney, which started last year when the entertainment giant publicly opposed the state's "Don't Say Gay" legislation.
