FILE - The Cinderella Castle is seen at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, July 14, 2023, in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Since allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took over Walt Disney World’s government earlier this year, morale and trust have deteriorated, the governing district has been politicized and cronyism permeates the organization, according to many employees who have departed in recent months.
The Associated Press obtained the employee exit surveys through a records request, and has withheld names to protect security. Most of the records were first obtained byIowa Gov. Kim Reynolds will endorse Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president, AP sources sayWith the departure of so many district employees in such a short period of time, the district is “no longer functional,” a facilities director who left last month wrote in her exit survey.
When asked about the staff departures, a district spokesman said several of the workers who left had been planning to retire before the change and that there were still employees with decades of experience who could maintain the institutional knowledge of the district. “For over 56 years, Disney had their own governmentally controlled kingdom,” Garcia said in August. “In the past six months, our board has adopted new policies and practices to fix some of the glaring issues.”
Last month, the district authorized a $242,500 no-bid contract to update its emergency-calls network with a company whose chief executive had served with Gilzean on the Florida Commission on Ethics, where both were DeSantis appointees. Following pushback from local media reports about the no-bid nature of the deal, the company CEO requested that the contract be reopened for an open bidding process.
