Disney World's Battle With Florida Is Getting Wild As Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Daughter Is Now Involved. No, Really.
Disney World and the state of Florida have been inseparable for over 50 years, after Walt Disney decided that his second theme park and Epcot, his planned city of the future, would be located there. But over the last year, the relationship between the two has become heated, and things just took a very unexpected turn that involves English Common Law and the granddaughter of the King of England.
Last month Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new law that made massive changes to the governing body of Walt Disney World, the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The district had been in place since the 1960s and it encompasses all of Walt Disney World. It gave the resort significantly more power over its own land than it otherwise would. Previously the district board was made up of landowners inside Walt Disney World, which were people Disney chose. The new law allowed the governor himself to appoint the board, which he did.
