Here is an interesting read on the potential impact of dissolving RCID on DVC owners from DVCnews.com:
dvcnews.com
If what they are saying here is accurate then there would likely be a decrease in DVC dues since roughly half of the taxes paid today go to RCID and those taxes would go away. There would then be a potential increase in taxes paid to Orange County but the potential tax increase for all Orange County tax payers (including DVC owners) is estimated at around 25%. So roughly a 33% decrease in property taxes for owners.
Its also interesting to note that nearly 25% of the taxes paid into RCID come from DVC owners and not TWDC directly. It surprises me the number is that high.

Using the math they gave and a 25% increase in Orange County taxes it’s about 57 cents a point decrease in duesAs a DVC owner who is so jaded I say "riiiiiiight" I read the article earlier though with interest. Just our MFs like never go down
They will probably charge us for part of the legal costs to take this to court so the best we can hope for…..breakeven

It's all hand waving at this point. Their closing statements sum it up...Here is an interesting read on the potential impact of dissolving RCID on DVC owners from DVCnews.com:

"Without Reedy Creek Improvement District, DVC owners may see a nearly 50% reduction in their property tax liability. That is unlikely to be the end of the story, given that it leaves Orange and Osceola Counties with a $163 million budget shortfall to overcome. A combination of increasing taxes on all residents and slashing services in the Walt Disney World area are the most direct ways of closing the gap. Florida officials may be able to construct some manner of maintaining the RCID tax structure while still limiting Disney’s control over the region. If they have some specific plan in mind, it has not yet been outlined. "
It's fun to compare numbers... but it's a situation DVC members are unlikely ever to see as presented.

For sure. I wasn’t really implying we’d see a 33% reduction in taxes paid. There’s almost zero chance this ends with RCID dissolved and all Orange County taxpayers getting a 25% tax increase. It’s just a fun fact that so much of the RCID tax base comes from DVC owners.
But the law in questions is precisely about K-3, which is why it has a high level of support.

I’m sure this is going to open a can of unrelated worms, but it speaks to a troubling pattern of which the district dissolution legislation appears to be a part. Text messages from Representative Fine were released this weekend in which he threatens funding as retaliation because a political opponent was invited to an event. We even see the same sort of language that has been used regarding Disney, ”Smart move is to cancel with apology for wading into politics.” If his statements during the special session were not damning enough, I now expect discovery to unearth even more that will plainly demonstrate the retaliatory intent of his legislation.

And parents have always had the option to opt their child out of family life curricula, just for this reason. That’s been standard for decades.
Why do you keep ignoring the fact that DeSantis has repeatedly lied about multiple things regarding Reedy Creek? Why should reporters print his vague assurances, which are quite transparent, as facts when he’s proven to not be trustworthy on this matter? Has Scott Randolph lied? Which one is actually making partisan statements? Hint: It’s not the tax assessor.

""If I (had the intention to do that), I would have. I haven't. Never planned to. Didn't do it," he said."
Basically saying he has no resistance to abusing his power for his own personal spats. This guy is amazing... can't wait for this to make the news "Elected Florida Representative threatens special olymipics over fundraiser". Hope people roast this turkey - he's clearly not intelligent enough to cover up his willingness to abuse his office. (Or so drunk on his position that he thinks he's untouchable... probably that)
