If Disney would act like any other tourist attraction inf Fl and Pay their fair share of tourism money fromtheir parks then there probably wouldn't be a proble...but they had their own :district" and di their own thing amking money hand over fist and not giving it back to Floridians.

Not sure where the right got the idea that Disney World doesn't pay taxes, they do. https://www.wral.com/story/fact-check-how-does-new-florida-law-affect-disney-s-tax-status/20261882/
Thinking of the agreement as something that allowed Disney to build and make improvements without having to get town, county, and state permits is probably the most accurate way to think of it.

Disney scraps plans for new Florida campus and cancels mass employee relocation
Many Disney employees balked at the company’s relocation plans when they were first announced in July 2021 by former CEO Bob Chapek. While some left the company, or transitioned to other posts within Disney that would not require a move to Florida, others held out hope that the plan would fizzle out after a postponement.
