Disney Ends Long-Running Feud With DeSantis Over Board Power

A board appointed by Ron DeSantis has voted to settle a lawsuit with Walt Disney Co., effectively ending an almost year-long legal battle between the Florida Governor and one of the state’s biggest employers.

The board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, the municipal authority that governs Disney parks in Florida, unanimously accepted a settlement offer made by the company in a meeting Wednesday. Disney had sued DeSantis and the board in April last year, igniting a legal battle that has played out in a series of courts.
