Republican Congressman wants to Revoke No-Fly Zone over Disney World & Disneyland

Republican Congressman wants to Revoke Disney’s “No-Fly” Zone over both Disney World & Disneyland.

Texas Congressman Troy Nehls of the 22nd Congressional District has begun advocating for the removal of the “No-Fly Zones” over Walt Disney World and Disneyland, the only two theme parks in the United States with such restrictions.

Here is his post on his Twitter account:

He writes:


Why does @Disney get special treatment? Today, I sent two letters to @SpeakerPelosi and @SecretaryPete asking them whether or not they supported the “No-Fly Zones” over Disney’s theme parks considering no other theme parks in the country received the same preferential treatment.

Walt Disney World Fly Over

The no-fly zone prevents aircraft from traveling directly over the Disney Theme Parks. The zones were established in 2003 as a “temporary” restriction.

Nehls wrote that the air restrictions “add complexity and restrict freedom” and should be “reserved for compelling national security and safety needs,” pointing to no-fly zones residing over “places of high security, such as military bases, or hazards like wildfires and hurricanes.”

This news comes on the heels of Governor Ron Desantis signing the bill that is attempting to dissolve Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District.
