Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday said he would be “receptive” to discussions around changing a decades-long state law that grants Disney the power to self-govern its Disney World property.
The governor made the comments while answering reporters’ questions during a news conference in Titusville.
“So me as the governor, I could be presented with changes to that,” DeSantis said. “I think I’ve said I’d be receptive to that. But ultimately, the legislature would have to move forward. So I know that there’s a lot of discussion about that, and we’ll just see how that shakes out.”
The governor’s response on Friday came after State Rep. Spencer Roach, R-North Fort Myers, tweeted that lawmakers had met twice to discuss repealing the 1967 state law that allowed Disney to establish Reedy Creek Improvement District.
Through this arrangement, Reedy Creek runs as its own government, providing fire protection, emergency, utility, and planning services for the property around Disney World.
“If Disney wants to embrace woke ideology, it seem fitting that they should be regulated by Orange County,” Roach tweeted.
Both Roach and DeSantis’ remarks came after Disney took a public stance against the state’s controversial Parental Rights in Education measure, which was signed into law by DeSantis on Monday.
The law bans classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, or “in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
After initially not commenting on the legislation, Disney publicly opposed the then bill, which had been dubbed as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by critics, during an annual shareholders meeting earlier this month.
When the bill was signed into law, Disney issued a statement that said the bill “should never have been signed into law” and that it would work to get the law repealed or “struck down in the courts.”
DeSantis responded by stating that the company had “crossed the line.”
Disney is in the process of relocating some 2,000 parks-related jobs from California to Florida.
Any conservative and loving parent would BOYCOTT DISNEY 100%! The 1967 agreement was by the CIA who actually owns Disney. Do your homework and see who makes the Disney decisions……drain the swamp….Disney was a SWAMP and it literally still is!!!!! The Disney Company does not refer a boy to a be a boy or a girl to be a girl in any park announcements. Everything is GENDER NEUTRAL!!! The God of this Nation created male and female. Disney and their WOKE philosophy is not from God, but it is pure EVIL. DeSantis is draining the Disney Swamp and he needs to dismantle them!!!!
????
Disney is NO LONGER saying ‘boys and girls’ in recorded park greetings in order to promote gender inclusion.
?Let’s pay attention EVERYONE!
Disney cruises run numerous cruises to St. Thomas & St. John in the Virgin Islands. They also run cruise lines to surrounding islands. Epstein wasn’t and isn’t the only pedophille island!
Travelers could also book a number of excursions off the cruise ship to a variety of adventurous destinations. One such destination included several stops to Little St. James Island, owned by Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell.
According to the Magical Kingdoms website, Disney Cruise Line offered “Captain Nautica’s Snorkeling Expedition”, described as “Splashtacular and Family Adventures and Nature Adventures.” Children as young as 8 years old could attend the 3.5-hour outings offered by the cruise line to what was locally known as “Pedophile Island.”
Epstein had a Palm Beach home that was right next to former Disney CEO Bob Iger.
There are so many connections. ????
Do not support Disney. ??
They have been after our children for many years. Do a search on Walt Disney. Walt’s father created a monster, and that monster created Disney!
Now, how many parents didn’t take their kids on a snorkeling excursion but took them to the island to what will be the worst nightmare of their lives??
How many kids didn’t come home from that cruise, and it was covered up by the cruise line, port authorities, and police? Where are those missing babies???
STAY AWAY FROM ALL THINGS DISNEY!
WITCHCRAFT EVERYWHERE! MAGICAL……WAKE-UP LAKELAND!

This TRUE video will tell you the truth about Disney, Hollywood and the Satanic connections with the elites and politicians!!!
DeSantis knows the truth and he needs us to take a stand a dismantle the 1967 agreement which is between the CIA and Disney Corporation and leaders in Florida who are NOT FOR AMERICA OR FAMILY VALUES. They worship Satan!
Governor DeSantis’ threat to Disney is very dangerous since it has a chilling impact on Disney’s free speech rights. I don’t know if I agree with giving a corporation, even one I own shares in, the right to govern an area, this seems not to be democratic. However, I also do not like the idea of a state official threatening any person/corporation for expressing its viewpoint on legislation. We are slowly sliding into Putin’s thinking which is dictatorship and not democracy. I hope that the people I know who died to protect American ideals, especially free speech and freedom to be yourself, did not die for nothing. I worry about the other comments here and hope they are just Russian bots and not citizens of U.S.
