Last week, the state of Florida legislature voted to dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District, but the specifics of how that will happen by June 2023 are still unclear as well as the ramifications on the counties of Orange and Osceola.
What IS the Reedy Creek Improvement District? Many Disney fans have a vague idea about what it is and what it does but there seems to be some confusion about it and why dissolving it might cause chaos.
Basically, the creation of RCID allowed the Walt Disney Company to utilize some innovative techniques in building and to exceed the safety standards of both Orange and Osceola counties. All of this was able to be accomplished without taking any money from the taxpayers in those two counties.
Some have argued over the years that when the Walt Disney Company abandoned the idea of building Walt Disney's experimental city that the original reason for allowing the company such vast governing power through an improvement district was no longer necessary.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis added the discussion and vote on dissolving the Reedy Creek Improvement District to the special legislative session less than an hour before it began. He also added an item to the agenda to eliminate special protections that Disney gets from the Big Tech law from 2021

There’s no such thing as a logically consistent, honest politician.
Manipulative, greedy, opportunistic, hypocritical politicians are the norm.

“There’s no such thing as a logically consistent, honest politician.”
DeSantis!
That might have been a safe bet 60 years ago but today placing fissionable material in the hands of a corporation known to have unhinged, radical, and perverted hires throughout the ranks is beyond dangerous.
Think Red Flags. Think dirty bombs.
The Florida legislature needs to put public safety first.
Well they didn't, the "woke" took over the company.
My saying if I was a CEO, is do not get into radical left woke politics.
They were supposed to build a city but backed out? Then the agreement should’ve ended whenever that didn’t happen.
Yes. The hated it.
And Disney in general.
“ They were supposed to build a city but backed out? Then the agreement should’ve ended whenever that didn’t happen.”
Walt Disney died at the end of 1966 and his plans for the city and business park were never seen through.
No one else could do it or would do it.
One can only imagine trying to get something on that scale done without the driving force there to push forward.
