TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Disney and Florida haven’t always gotten along.
Between a back-and-forth about Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by critics, to legal battles over control of the land around Walt Disney World, the corporation’s contentious relationship with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is well documented.
Despite the uneasy tensions between the state’s leadership and the owner of “The Most Magical Place On Earth,” Disney’s CEO Bob Iger has been promising a large Florida expansion for more than a year, and next week the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District will vote on a new development agreement to bring those promises to life, NBC affiliate WESH reports.
If the district, that oversees the Walt Disney World property, approves the agreement, what can fans expect from Disney’s big expansion?

The biggest perk of the new development would be the addition of a fifth major park, joining the likes of the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios.
Two minor parks would also join Disney’s smaller attractions like Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, and Disney Springs.
WESH said the agreement lays out $17
