Overview

• Disney and Governor Ron DeSantis have settled their legal dispute, ending a years-long feud over control of the special tax district that encompasses Walt Disney World.
• Under the settlement, Disney agreed to make an eleventh-hour legal maneuver null and void, and to pause an appeal of a ruling dismissing its First Amendment lawsuit.
• The deal begins the process of resolving a multifront legal battle that started with Disney's opposition to Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act.
• Critics argue that DeSantis's actions against Disney may have sacrificed the long-term economic interests of Florida for political gain.
• The settlement is seen as a victory for both sides, with Disney maintaining some control over its operations and DeSantis claiming vindication.
