The goal of this takeover was for the state of Florida to retain a level of control over Disney World, but Disney pulled an Uno reverse card on DeSantis when it was discovered that the former Reedy Creek board had passed the “King Charles III” clause just a day before being dissolved, in effect rendering the new board powerless.

After DeSantis vowed to investigate Disney, the Florida Attorney General discovered that there was no paper trail exposing any crimes, and DeSantis moved on to Plan C.
Ron DeSantis Mentions a Prison Next to Disney World
In a news conference held on April 17th, DeSantis had a lot to say about Disney.
“They (Disney) are not superior to the laws that are enacted by the state of Florida. They thought they could create a development agreement that would render everything we did null and void. That’s not going to work, that’s not going to fly.”

DeSantis and Florida Legislature are now in the process of developing a bill to nullify the Disney and Reedy Creek Improvement District agreement. DeSantis said that if the legislature is not passed, the King Charles III clause would not hold up in the courts anyway, referring to it as a “sham agreement.”

I have to say that DeSantis is not too bright. For someone thinking about running for president do you really want to go up against corporate America. If he doesn’t like your policies he’s going to come after you. That’s not a great message to help raise money from big fat donors. Is it worth going after the Mouse just to shoot yourself in the foot. It doesn’t seem that he thinks things through.
