Disney’s legal battles against its new governing body, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD), appear to be coming to an end.

On March 27, the CFTOD Board of Supervisors voted in favor of a settlement offered by the company, which agreed to drop two active lawsuits against CFTOD after it replaced the former Disney-appointed Reedy Creek Improvement District Board more than a year ago.
