I disagree. The regulators at some point felt it was necessary.
I would say the burden would now be to show why it isn’t.

Yeah, those two have become somewhat of a thorn in the side of the party's leadership...
Having spent the 1st five years of my life living in a neighborhood that was in one of the flight paths for LAX, I'd prefer my Disney bubble not be impacted by the noise of the hundreds of flights taking off and landing at MCO daily.

None of the other theme parks in the US are terrorist targets.
As for the rest of your post...

Maybe voters should hold these legislators responsible for doing things that help the American people and not a personal vendetta because someone took a leak in someone's Wheaties we might be a better country. Everyone votes, make your voice heard.

They did in November...
WDW closed on 9/11 because it IS a target. And it always will be.
The State of Florida closed the Capitol building on 9/11, not because any credible threat was received, but because the governor was the president's brother.

Yes, I know. That is my entire point of why the No Fly Zone needs to stay in place.
Someone will surely correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that there's a 3 nautical mile radius protected space up to 3000 feet above the surface over sporting events with seating capacity over 30,000. My understanding is also that the the same 3,000 foot altitude 3 nautical mile limit is what is applied to Disney. So, again, it's more of a cafeteria style selection of to whom rules should apply. 30k is probably a good number so if other theme parks, music festivals, etc have +30k capacity then we should be looking to expand protection instead of selectively reducing protections.

You’re okay with the idea that if you criticize the government in this country, it can come after you?

Nope…MetLife stadium is in the landing path of Newark Liberty and Teterboro is a few miles away from the stadium…planes fly over ALL the time.
Fyi - tourism and agriculture , some of the lowest paying industries nationwide are the top two drivers of income for the Sunshine State but you probably already know that.

The self-described "aviation geeks" can probably speak to this better, but the runways at MCO run N/S, so the risk of having commercial planes flying at low altitudes over WDW when inbound/outbound to/from MCO is low.
It appears I may have been looking at unmanned aircraft systems restrictions.
I wouldn't be surprised if this were a concession in the budget bill. Even if the intent is bad most simply aren't going to care.
What this DOES show though is that DeSantis's strategy of attacking Disney IS favorable and IS working. Or at least enough people seem to think so that additional politicians want to get involved as well.

The TFR covers "all aircraft operations".

I don't think any bad actor is concerned at all with a TFR if they are planning to cause harm. It's not as if WDW has jets on standby looking to be scrambled and intercept an aircraft violating the restricted air space the way Washington, DC does. Safety isn't the real concern, the annoying noise and is. Who knows, with more aircraft operating in the area, maybe the sky writers will be pushed out of the way, or get worse?
