Disney has amended its free speech lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis to add recent developments in the tit-for-tat fight between the entertainment giant and the Florida governor.

The bill, HB 1305, includes requiring the Department of Transportation to inspect Disney’s monorail system.

Members of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District — made up of Gov. Ron DeSantis appointees — voted unanimously to sue Disney in state court Monday.

The governor faced questions about being taken to court by Walt Disney World during his first international trade mission.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is brushing off Disney's lawsuit against him as politically motivated and says it's time for the iconic company to stop getting favorable treatment in his state.

Disney is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the Republican’s takeover of its theme park district, alleging Wednesday that the governor waged a “targeted campaign of government retaliation” after the company opposed a law critics call “Don’t Say Gay.”

In a memo sent to staff, Iger says the first of three rounds of layoffs at Disney will begin this week, impacting workers throughout the company including here in Central Florida.

The Florida House approved the measure that would give Gov. DeSantis the authority to appoint the district's Board of Supervisors. The Senate will vote on Friday.

Said DeSantis on the Disney bill: “This is obliviously now going to be controlled by the state of Florida, which is no longer self-governing for them. So, there’s a new sheriff in town, and that’s just the way its going to be.”

Returning CEO Bob Iger is making a statement to his board about the company's finances moving forward.

Sunday was the last day for the ride in the Florida park. Controversy surrounded the ride, based on the 1946 film Song of the South and its racist themes. It will relaunch as Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

Disney CEO Bob Iger sent a company-wide email to employees Monday, mandating them to come back to the office to promote creativity and collaboration.
