ORLANDO, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law Monday that gives the state control of Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District, stripping the resort of its self-governing powers amid a feud with the governor.
“Today, the corporate kingdom finally comes to an end,” DeSantis said at Reedy Creek Fire Station No. 4 on Disney property where he signed the bill. “This is what accountability looks like.”
The law, effective immediately, gives the governor the power to appoint all five members of the governing board of the district. Members would face Senate confirmation.
