The Governor of Florida passed legislation ending Disney World’s favorable position

Date:

Florida Gov. Ron Desantis signed a law into law on Friday that would take effect in June 2023, removing the favorable position for Disney World Amusement Park and preserving some progressive themes that were not appreciated by elected Republicans.

With the special status granted at the time of the construction of the recreation site near Orlando in the 1960s, Disney was exempted from most state regulations and guaranteed in exchange for many essential public services such as garbage collection, firefighters or water purification. Some elected officials fear that the abolition of this status will shift the debt to local governments.
