Credit: Inside The MagicIn an update that should have been seen a while back, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants a court date in late 2025, while the Walt Disney Company wants a court date as soon as summer 2024. Here are the latest details in the DeSantis vs. Disney legal battle.
The DeSantis vs. Disney Legal War Continues
There have been several updates since it was announced that Disney would see the Florida Governor and that DeSantis would do the same with Disney. This legal war affects those who follow DeSantis and those who are lovers of Walt Disney World. The legal implications could pour over onto the innocent families and Guests who frequent WDW every year. We already know that DeSantis is eyeing the chance to tax Disney Guests with tolls on highways and everywhere else on Disney property. According to new reports, DeSantis’s allies seem to be rallying against his feud with Disney. The Florida Governor even went as far as begging the courts to dismiss the case against Disney, as recent reports confirm that DeSantis is calling the courts to dismiss the case on the grounds of “legal immunity.”

But Disney is looking to smash those dreams as they ask for a date as soon as next summer.
