Disney's Feud with DeSantis Derails Expansion Plans and Scraps Star Wars Hotel.
TL;DR Summary
Disney has dismissed the idea of building mini-parks in the US and will instead focus on its major theme parks and cruise ships, according to Disney parks chief Josh D’Amaro. The company has also shelved plans to build a $1bn corporate campus in Florida and closed its “Star Wars” Galactic Starcruiser hotel. Disney is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who it has sued for allegedly “weaponizing” state government in retaliation for its criticism of a Florida law banning classroom discussion of gender identity with younger children.
