Disney and DeSantis: A Billion-Dollar Legal Battle.

Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are in a legal battle over the use of land surrounding Walt Disney World, with both sides seeking jurisdiction where their arguments have the best chance of victory. Disney is arguing before a federal judge, while DeSantis is pursuing claims before a state judge. The dispute began when Disney opposed a parental rights bill in Florida, and the state passed a series of bills that stripped the company of power it held for 55 years to self-govern a special tax district home to its world-famous resort and roughly 25,000 acres surrounding it.
