Ron & Casey DeSantis got married at Disney World.
On Wednesday, Florida Republican senators doubled down in their action against Disney, voting in favor of a new bill—SB 1604—that would nullify development agreements between the entertainment company and the Sunshine State.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis opened up publicly for the first time about how he and his wife, Casey DeSantis, ended up exchanging their vows during a fairy tale wedding at Walt Disney World Resort — only to engage in a brutal battle with the family-favorite company 13 years later.
In an interview with Florida first lady Casey DeSantis, the Republican governor confirmed Insider’s November 2022 reporting about the wedding, which had never been previously reported and wasn’t widely known among the Florida political class. “In looking forward to what we ended up doing as governor and some of the face-offs that we had with some major institutions in Florida, it’s kind of ironic,” DeSantis said, according to a transcript and recording of the interview shared with Insider, which aired Monday on conservative SiriusXM Patriot radio.
In the interview, Casey DeSantis acknowledged that the revelation, which came ahead of Election Day, “created a lot of news.” Her parents had the idea that they get married at Disney World because they always looked forward to visiting the theme park when she was growing up in Ohio, she said. A tweet by Scott Dworkin, posted on April 26, 2023, viewed 319,500 times, claimed that DeSantis “got married at Disney World” in Florida.
Dworkin said: “Disney filed a lawsuit against Ron DeSantis in federal court today saying he waged a “relentless campaign to weaponize government power.” It was “anti-business” & “unconstitutional.”
“That’s right. DeSantis got married at Disney World. And now he’ll probably never be welcome back. And likely will lose to Disney in court. Fantastic.”
