Disney filed a new suit in a Florida court this week against the Gov. Ron DeSantis-appointed Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.
"I would just say go back to what you did well, I think it's going to be the right business decision," DeSantis told CNBC Monday of what he’d tell CEO Bob Iger of their public feud. "We've basically moved on, they're suing the state of Florida, they're going to lose that lawsuit. So, what I would say is drop the lawsuit.
"Your competitors all do very well — here at Universal SeaWorld, they have not had the same special privileges as you have," DeSantis added. "So all we want to do is treat everybody the same and let's move forward. I'm totally fine with that. But I'm not fine with giving extraordinary privileges to one special company at the exclusion of everybody else."
