Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis insisted again today that he and the state legislature can and will overturn any Disney development deal and retake control of the acreage that’s home to Walt Disney World…
He called the recently discovered Disney contracts legally unsound but said that even if they weren’t, “Florida statutes provide the legislature with the authority to revoke development agreements in this exact kind of instance.” He told a press conference this afternoon in Lake Buena Vista at the Reed Creek building that the state “will make sure the agreements are revoked and the people’s will is established and upheld.
He mused about the possibility of developing district land that Disney doesn’t own. “People are like, ‘Well, what should we do with this land? Maybe create a state park. Maybe try to do more amusement parks?’ Someone even said, ‘Maybe you even need another state prison.’Former CEO Bob Chapek crossed the governor a year ago when, under pressure from employees, he came out against the state’s so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.
A person familiar with the situation noted that the development agreement had been approved by the state. On housing, in 2022, WDW announced it would be contributing nearly 80 acres of land into more than 1,300 units of attainable housing for Central Florida. There’s been talk, “but very little follow-through” on housing, the governor said at his press conference.
