Walt Disney World’s governing district, appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, is being accused by Disney (NYSE:DIS) of delaying the release of important documents related to an ongoing lawsuit, according to court papers.
What Happened: The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District is alleged to have “failed to produce a single document” for nearly two months following Disney’s requests, AP News reported.
“Productions to date have been nonexistent or woefully deficient,” Disney said in its court filing.

The lawsuit revolves around who holds design and construction authority over Disney’s vast theme park resort in central Florida. Disney is seeking a two-and-a-half-month delay in the case until it can access the requested documents and conduct necessary depositions.
The Tourism Oversight District, previously controlled by Disney allies, was taken over by DeSantis appointees earlier this year following Disney’s public opposition to a state law. The district has since sued Disney to void contracts dealing with design and construction control at Disney World.
Disney has countered with its own claims, seeking validation of the contracts. It is also requesting internal communications from DeSantis’ office and several state agencies.
