The investigation was prompted by accusations made by DeSantis' newly appointed board that the Reedy Creek board members signed a previous agreement with Disney, undermining the powers of the new board, which DeSantis claims has "legal infirmities."
The board appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis to oversee Walt Disney World's special taxation district in Florida is considering legal action after accusing the previous Disney-controlled board of passing restrictive covenants that limit their power, while also limiting their use of Disney-related trademarks, and Disney has defended its actions.
The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is hosting the world's largest LGBTQ+ conference in September, which may cause controversy with Governor Ron DeSantis.
Disney have removed the phrase 'zip-a-dee-doo-dah' from the music of its in-park parades over links to 1946 film 'Song of the South' which pushed racial stereotypes amid an ultra-woke makeover to the amusement park.
“Allowing a corporation to control its own government is bad policy, especially when the corporation makes decisions that impact an entire region,” Gov. DeSantis said. “This legislation ends Disney’s self-governing status, makes Disney live under the same laws as everybody else, and ensures that Disney pays its debts and fair share of taxes.”
