Reedy Creek Improvement District

It covers around 45,000 service workers at the Disney theme park resort outside Orlando.

Among the changes it suggested during its first meeting are eliminating two cities that were created when the Florida Legislature in 1967 approved the theme park resort's self-governance.

A parents' rights activist, a Christian nationalist and three lawyer donors now have control over Walt Disney World's development capabilities, thanks to a bill signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The law requires the governor to appoint a five-member board to oversee government services that the district provides in its sprawling theme park properties in Florida.

The legislation will allow DeSantis to appoint a five-member board to oversee the government services it provides in Disney's sprawling properties in 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.”

The Florida House suggested the overhaul during the first day of Florida's special session.

The unions said that 13,650 out of 14,263 members who voted on the contract on Friday rejected the proposal from Disney, sending negotiators back to the bargaining table for another round of talks.

The meeting will represent the latest development in a high-profile feud between DeSantis and Disney over the company's criticism over a law dubbed by critics as “Don't Say Gay."

Many consider the move punishment for the company's public opposition to a law that bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade and lessons deemed not age appropriate.

Some face legal challenges, such as a bill that would prevent abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
