Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has failed in its attempt to reverse the loss of its special district when a federal judge on Jan. 31 struck down its First Amendment lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

U.S. District Court Judge Allen Winsor dismissed the case on the basis that Disney’s suit had no standing and lacked sufficient merit.
