The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board's lawsuit seeks to invalidate an agreement prior board members made with Disney.
A district board appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to oversee development around Walt Disney Company’s Florida theme parks sued the company on Monday, May 1, to void “backroom deals” favorable to the entertainment giant.
last year when Disney criticized a state measure banning classroom discussion of sexuality and gender identity with younger children. DeSantis who is expected to soon declare his candidacy for US president, has repeatedly attacked “woke Disney” in public remarks. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board maintained that Disney rushed through the agreement before the new board assumed oversight of municipal services and development within the 25,000 acres of land in and around Walt Disney World.
The DeSantis-appointed board said the agreements were “riddled with procedural and substantive defects” that render them void and unenforceable. The lawsuit argues the prior board failed to provide adequate public notice or follow proper procedures. In its lawsuit, Disney also took issue with the DeSantis-appointed board’s assessment that development contracts Disney reached with its predecessors were “void.” Those deals laid the foundation for billions of dollars of future investment in its Walt Disney World resort.
“The district will seek justice in state court here in central Florida where both it and Disney reside and do business,” Martin said.
