At long last, the feud between Florida governor Ron DeSantis and Disney has come to an end. The two parties reached an agreement on Wednesday that clears the way for $17 billion in planned development at Walt Disney World, an expansion that will create an estimated 13,000 jobs, according to the company.
This new agreement lasts for the next 15 years and came about after the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District agreed to a long-term plan for expanding Disney World. The organization was under Disney control for 55 years until DeSantis took it over in 2022, a move that led to several lawsuits.
