Disney Welcomes State Leaders Back with $25k Fundraiser at Walt World

The Walt Disney Company has seemingly put its high-profile feud with Florida state leadership behind it. In a move that signals a total truce, Disney is now hosting an exclusive $25,000-per-person political fundraising weekend for Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.

The event, organized by 'Friends of James Uthmeier,' invites wealthy donors and political action committees to Walt Disney World for a special 'family weekend' retreat. The choice of venue is dripping with irony, given that Uthmeier helped design the state's strategy to strip Disney of its self-governing power.

The $25,000-a-head event underscores a mutual desire to move forward, following years of heated courtroom battles and retaliatory state legislation. With legal battles settled and Disney committing billions in long-term resort investments, partnering with top state officials has replaced courtroom combat.
