Essentially, the RCID acts as a governing body for the 25,000 acres in Orange and Osceola counties on which Walt Disney World sits.
Florida’s legislature passed the law aimed at. The move came after Disney spoke out against the state’s Parental Rights in Education law.
Sen. Stewart said the lawmakers were hearing some rumblings of how Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to deal with the issue. It was not explained how that would work, or whether that would still leave Orange and Osceola counties on the hook for any part of the RCID’s finances or maintaining the district’s services.
“Through the creation and effective operation of the District, Walt Disney was able to turn 38.5 square miles of remote and largely uninhabited pasture and swampland into a world-class tourist destination that welcomes millions of visitors every year,” RCID’s website reads.
