Disney World President Jeff Vahle Releases a Statement on Reedy Creek Bill. The Bill that is set to restructure Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District has just been filed with the House of Representatives in Florida. Without trying to add any spin to this, we will just give you the statement from Jeff Vahle. This is an ongoing news story and the Florida House Bill is 189 pages. We will have time to dissect it all over the coming days.
“We are monitoring the progression of the draft legislation, which is complex given the long history of the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Disney works under a number of different models and jurisdictions around the world, and regardless of the outcome, we remain committed to providing the highest quality experience for the millions of guests who visit each year.”
Jeff Vahle, President, Walt Disney World Resort
