There has always been an oddity in the feud between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and The Walt Disney Company. It is unusual for a Republican governor to take on his state’s largest employer and one of its largest employers. As an entertainment company, it’s uncommon for Disney to openly fight with a politician and potentially alienate his supporters. And now, ...

It’s been just over six months since the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District took over for the former Reedy Creek Improvement District, and its tenure has been rocky, at best.

But a second city in Florida was looking for a professional sports team: Orlando. Orlando Magic appear to be the first NBA team… ever? to back a presidential candidate: $50k to ...

It sometimes makes you wonder why people believe everything they read online. A video was making the rounds on Facebook this week, supposedly of the co-chair of Disney’s entertainment division, Alan Bergman, making some wild claims about the company’s plans.
