ORLANDO, Fla. — Walt Disney Co. executives boasted about another blockbuster quarter Wednesday at its theme parks even as they remained mum about the feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
During an earnings call, executives did not mention the widespread criticism levied at Disney for its response to Florida’s so-called “don’t say gay bill” in March — which intensified after the bill passed the Legislature and Disney CEO Bob Chapek vowed to fight it.
The entertainment giant’s fight with DeSantis intensified in mid-April, leading to the dissolution of the Reedy Creek Improvement District and some conservatives calling for boycotts of the company in recent weeks.
