Ron DeSantis Appoints Two New Members to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and The Walt Disney Company were in a very public feud that launched two lawsuits and created plenty of bad blood.
After months of back-and-forth over the demise of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, Disney’s loss of autonomy, and last-minute binding agreements, the two sides amicably settled their dispute and vowed to work together.

Since that time, things have seemingly been back to business as usual in Central Florida, with the CFTOD approving Disney’s building plans and improving infrastructure around the resort.
