The resolution would give the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board 'superior authority and control' over planning, zoning & other land use in the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, the two cities where Walt Disney World Resort is located.

A resolution, seen on Tuesday by Reuters, would give the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board the power to review and evaluate development in the 25,000-square acres of property in and around Walt Disney Co's theme parks. Disney's major theme parks -- The Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and the Animal Kingdom -- are within the city limits of Bay Lake, while the Disney Springs retail area sits in Lake Buena Vista. Some had speculated that Disney would use its influence over these two municipalities to maintain its autonomy over its resort.A spokesperson for Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake did not respond to Reuters' request for comment.
In a move that current Disney CEO Bob Iger called retaliation, Florida lawmakers passed legislation that ended Disney's virtual autonomy in developing 25,000 acres in central Florida where its theme parks are located.
