The Florida House has passed the bill to repeal the Reedy Creek Improvement Act, which gave Disney special status over 50 years ago, allowing it to act as its own government on company property.
The move comes amid Gov. Ron DeSantis' very public battle with the Walt Disney Company over support for the so-called "Don't Say Gay" Bill, which DeSantis signed into law last month.Walt Disney Co.
said Wednesday it is raising prices for streaming subscribers in the U.S. who want to watch Disney+ without ads, as more viewers switch to what CEO Bob Chapek described as the "best value in streaming."The price increases are tied to a new tiered service Disney will launch in December for U.S.
subscribers. The basic Disney+ service today costs $7.99 per month. Starting in December, that basic service will run ads, so a subscriber who wants no ads will have to upgrade to a premium service that starts at $10.99 per month, a 37.5% rise over current prices.
