ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Disney has asked a federal appellate court to dismiss its lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The move Thursday came a day after the governor’s appointees approved a deal with the company on how Walt Disney World will be developed over the next two decades, ending the last piece of conflict between the two sides. The request came as little surprise because the federal lawsuit’s future was contingent on whether a development agreement could be reached between Disney and the DeSantis appointees to the district that governs Disney World. As part of the 15-year deal, Disney agreed to invest $17 billion into Disney World.
