Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle has issued a brief statement this afternoon following the state of Florida's latest moves to restructure the Reedy Creek Improvement District.


"We are monitoring the progression of the draft legislation, which is complex given the long history of the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Disney works under a number of different models and jurisdictions around the world, and regardless of the outcome, we remain committed to providing the highest quality experience for the millions of guests who visit each year."
Jeff Vahle, President, Walt Disney World Resort

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has previously said that the legislation will result in Reedy Creek board members being appointed by the Florida Governor and Disney paying upwards of $700 million in Reedy Creek debt.


The action by DeSantis comes in retaliation to Disney's public opposition to the parental rights law, which took place under the ex-CEO Bob Chapek.

Wegmans is much better than Publix for just about everything

You needed to go to the #1 party school. 😉 The Publix next to FSU's campus...and right across from fraternity row...was quite buzzing on Wednesday nights. I learned quickly to avoid it on that night.

Really? I've never heard of that and I've been to multiple Publixes around UCF campuses while a student haha.

Lucky Florida. All the Publix’s in my area are where the local senior swinger clubs convene 🤢

Sir, this is a Publix thread.

What good does DeSantis provide being in the Senate ? His personality is as lackluster as his policies and with Trump back in the White House his political future is based on his success. Nobody is gonna be checking for those type of politicians any longer if the next four years turns out be garbage.
