The legal battle between Walt Disney World, the Governor of Florida and its own Oversight Board, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, continues. Disney World recently filed a counter lawsuit in state court against the CFTOD, which is now added to the suit Disney itself filed in federal court against the district and Governor Ron DeSantis. But apparently the House of Mouse wasn’t done yet, as it recently sent the board a bill for $2.5 million in discounts given to the Board’s employees.
According to the AP, The CFTOD has filed a complaint with the state Inspector General over what it calls “unethical benefits and perks.” Previously, employees of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the oversight board that was created in the 1960s to oversee Walt Disney World, were given discounts and deals at Disney World, similar to the deals that are given to Cast Members that work directly for Disney World. The District then paid Disney World for the discounts used. The new board, installed by Governor Ron DeSantis, apparently just got the bill, and it seems they were unaware of the situation before now
