DeSantis and Disney reached a settlement agreement Wednesday in a state court fight over how Walt Disney World is developed in the future. In a meeting, the members of the board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District approved the settlement agreement.

Allies of Gov. Ron DeSantis reached a settlement agreement with Disney in a lawsuit over who controls Walt Disney World’s governing district. The agreement ends the two-year-long state court fight and eases tensions between the entertainment giant and Florida's governor.

A previous version of this article stated that the agreement was reached as a result of the “Don’t Say Gay” law which bans classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades. We are happy to clarify that it is not related to that.
