Pre- or Post-Cruise: Disney Building A New Park In Orlando

Walt Disney Co. and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appear to be ending their feud, as the DeSantis-appointed Disney oversight district unanimously voted to allow for Disney’s expansion, with a final decision expected on June 12th.

This 15-year agreement could potentially result in a fifth major theme park at Walt Disney World, along with 14,000 more hotel rooms, additional retail space, and significant infrastructure improvements to alleviate congestion around the parks. The deal, which could see

Disney invest up to $17 billion, also includes a commitment of about $10 million for local affordable housing projects.
