Before control of the district changed hands from Disney allies to DeSantis appointees early last year, Disney supporters on its board signed agreements with Disney shifting control over design and construction at Disney World to the company, effectively giving the company controlling power of their governing district.

This was seen as an unorthodox move to outsiders, and many thought that this gave the company too much power in their overall operations.
