Erh, You may want to get a source that actually knows what they are talking about instead of Hollywood Reporter, who is on Disney's side and has incentive to hate on DeSantis. Might I suggest going with the likes of Legal Mindset, who is one of only a handful of lawyers specializing in Florida Special District law? Because Disney was never going to lose control of Reedy Creek.
But DeSantis controlling the oversight board means they have to dance to Florida's tune, just like very other amusement park in Florida. No more special ability to do whatever they want. They will need permits. They will need to pay taxes that were exempt before. Anything they will be working on is public knowledge now. And Disney is on the hook for the bonds that have to be paid back, since they are the property owner of the district (you know, like he said would happen 9 months ago).
The plan as outlined is the worst that could probably happen to Disney realistically with the powers of law. This idea that it was "no real change" doesnt match the reaction that Disney has been having to the whole situation since it all started.
