Governor Ron DeSantis' appointees have given final approval to a new development deal with Disney, ending a prolonged feud. The agreement allows Disney to proceed with a $17 billion, 15-year expansion plan and resort development plan at Walt Disney World near Orlando. This development follows a period of tension that began when Disney opposed a state law criticized as the 'Don't Say Gay' law. The approval marks a significant step in the relationship between Disney and the governing district for Walt Disney World.
