Walt Disney World Loses Control Of Its Own District Thanks to a New Florida Bill

1 month ago IGN Africa

Thanks to a new bill, Walt Disney World has lost control of the board of its own district to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, meaning it will lose some of the privileges and autonomy it has had since 1967. As reported by The New York Times, Disney World's Reedy Creek Improvement District will now be known as the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and DeSantis will have the power to appoint all five of its board members. Disney World will also be subject to more state regulatory reviews, which "could cause the cost of building projects at the resort to balloon." It isn't all bad news for Disney, however, as DeSantis originally wanted to abolish Disney World's special tax district all together following Disney's opposition to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" legislation.

Why James Gunn Is the Best News the DCEU Could Have Asked For

Lately, it’s felt like there’s been nothing but bad news coming out of DC’s movies and TV shows. And we’re probably not going to get any of those JJ Abrams-produced DC shows we were promised. Fortunately, Warners didn’t pick just anyone to be in charge, but a director with a lot of experience in making expensive, crowd-pleasing superhero movies. Gunn wrote on Facebook in 2010, “I've made B-movies, independent films, children's movies, horror films, and gigantic spectacles. Keeping James Gunn in the DC house is a move that should make even Marvel feel a little nervous.
