Disney has 2 cities - part of it is in Osceola county and part in Orange County. They planned long ago for the possibility of losing the RCID preferential treatment.
“Part of the reason they created these two cities is they knew that the state could eliminate the improvement district by a majority vote of the state legislature,” said Chad Emerson, an attorney and author of Project Future, a book about the creation of Reedy Creek. “They can’t do that with cities. There’s a much more extensive process. And so these cities were basically two safety valves for Disney in case a legislature did something to the improvement district, like they just did last week.”
