Florida governor Ron DeSantis revealed in his new book out this week that he and his wife actually got married at Disney World in 2009. But he swears that he insisted on having no Disney characters present at the wedding or in the photos. This revelation came the day after DeSantis signed legislation officially dissolving Disney's special district in Florida and packing the new leadership board with his donors and friends. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had his new book come out yesterday, and it's been trashed by media critics all over the country. Um, the New York Times actually said it, it looked like it had been written by one of those poorly performing artificial intelligence programs. But the big revelation to me is that Ron DeSantis, who on Monday, the day before his book came out, went down to the Reedy Creek district where Disney owns the district and gets to do whatever the hell they want, signed the law, officially dissolving it. He put his cronies and donors in charge of that district, and the next day his book comes out where he reveals to the world. By the way, back in 2009, I actually got married at Disney World.
The man who has launched this massive fight against the Disney Corporation. He himself got married at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, specifically. He got married at the, uh, grand Floridian Hotel. He says, I didn't even know they had a wedding chapel, which if you've ever been to Disney World and been the monorail, yes, they have a massive wedding chapel that you clearly see from the monorail, but he said that his wife's family, they're big Disney enthusiasts, you know, they're Disney adults. They love going to Disney all the time. So when his, uh, uh, fiance now wife said, let's do it at Disney, he said, I deferred to her. You know, I wanted to be the, the, the good groom and give the bride whatever she wanted. But I did have one stipulation. He said, no Disney characters present at my wedding at all. I don't wanna see wedding pictures with Mickey and Goofy and Donald Duck.
All none of those people are invited to my wedding. I want it to look like a traditional, normal wedding at Disney World. And of course, he does point out, you know, I had no inkling that years later I would be squaring off against Disney in a political battle that would reverberate across the nation. Yeah, you, you, you might wanna climb down off your pedestal there, pal, because it's, it's not as, you know, oh, you're such a big badass. Um, here's the thing. Disney doesn't really care that their district is being dissolved. As I explained last year when the thing first came up, it's actually gonna save them a little bit of money so they don't have to worry about that. Nothing is really going to change with Disney because they can't actually interfere with the operations. They might try to throw up a couple of headaches for 'em with infrastructure, things like that, but eventually they're going to get bored with it and it's not gonna be worth the fight. Disney has way more money than that little board that DeSantis put in place. They're not worried about any of it. They're so not worried about any of it. By the way, that Disney actually gave money to Ron DeSantis inaugural committee
This year, right? The, the, the one he had after the 2022 election, after he had already signed legislation dissolving their uh, uh, uh, special district, which they then rewrote and he re resigned it like they still gave him money. That's how not concerned they are about his little fight because they know at the end of the day that people like DeSantis still love Disney. They'll come down here and get married if they want to try to hide it from the public, I guess, until you finally make this big grand admission.
@wadedavid4375last yearWill NEVER go BACK to FLORIDA,as LONG as he is GOVERNOR! 6
@
@gabekaelin3924last yearI think Disney should bar him his family and everyone in his office from every Disney property in the world... 96
@
@camwyn256last yearYeah. Ron "punished" Disney by shifting Disney's tax burden onto the state 27
@

@Rollo.Tomassilast yearSadly, whenever these hypocrites are EXPOSED, HUMILIATED, SHAMED etc, it has no effect 1
@
@amgguy4319last yearDisney should sue to invalidate the law, and if that fails, Disney should leave the State of Florida. 2
@
@existentialismtyrant5722last yearMakes sense that’s the definition of hypocrites or modern gop party 59
@
@morgandouglas6014last yearIf I were his wife, I would’ve filed for divorce at that point. Every other thing he’s done up to this point would already be a dealbreaker as it is. 124

@
@foodplaces5165last yearHow do you spell hypocrite D E S A N T I S 23
@
@nellies-taekook-journalslast yearSo there's some residual resentment about his marriage underlying his anger towards Disney... I guess his wife isn't the Disney Princess he expected her to be. 🤦 🤷♀ 16

@
@c0mf0rta61ynum6last yearSo does this mean that the governor's mansion as long as DeSantis is in it can now be deemed The Haunted Mansion? 36
@
@orlandoacosta2631last yearThe funny thing is that a lot of DeSantis supporters are actually applauding this, claiming De Santis is having Disney pay their fair share. How gullible do you have to be to believe DeSantis or any other Republican would have any of these companies paying their fair share? 🤣🤣🤣 ...6
@
@heidistrenzke489last yearIt does not gets him any browny points. He is a hypocrite. 1
@
@elmersglue6259last yearMaybe Ronald should recheck his wedding photos because Mickey might be in the back ground giving him the 1 finger salute. 16
@
@ariellebotwinick1537last yearOh the irony and hypocrisy. It’s kind of amazing. 1
@
@dougking4377last yearhey Disney close the "World" for the summer for "maintenance" and see how many employees, hotels/motels, restaurants, scream when nobody comes to FL as tourists. kiss tax revenue goodbye. 4

@TheAnnie41last yearI think it's hysterical that he got married there, and didn't you know this Farron 21
@
@srephenlucietto5114last yearAnd then he realized that the taxes would be payed by the people of the region so now he signed a new bill that canceled the other bill 1
@
@alstagl1221last yearIt almost sounds like Disney wanted desantis to save them some money. 11
@
@lynnetteedmondson8025last yearWhat's new DeathSantis, is not an upstanding citizen or governor. 2
@
@davidvasquez6920last yearThis is what I believe happened. Disney wanted out of special district deal, as they were probably losing money. Disney approached DeSatan, made him a money deal and as a good dirty republican politician, he took it. 55
@
@rog3129last yearAngry little fascist is a perfect bio for him! 2
@
@TheMahayanistlast yearOf course he did. He's a damn Disney character in real life. 1
@
@nicholasfraedrich9474last yearAnd he’ll never forgive himself for it. Ever.
@
@Acelynlast yearDeSatan rights a book and puts a ban on other books WTF is wrong with him I hope know one reads it. We need our history books in our school's. 4
@
@stuckinmopro8533last yearThat’s surprising because, after seeing how she dresses I assumed that his wife was a former Vegas show girl instead of a wannabe Disney princess! 1
@
@thepolarphantasm2319last yearNow we know why he's making Orlando residents pay Disney's property taxes now He's been an adult Disney kid the whole time 😂 6

@
@JohnMartin-kb6ntlast yearThe only Disney character at his wedding was Goofy Desantis because nobody else could be stupid enough to represent him.
@
@timheersma4708last yearDid DeSantis have Disney characters at his ?...schmoozing with Goofy perhaps ? 😁😆🤣🤣🤣 2
@
@andrewmcevans465last yearAh. No wonder he's angry at Disney. Ball and chain. LOL 4
@
@johnnyfreedom3437last yearI took my kid sister's there the first year it opened and a couple of New Year's Eves as well. About 20 years later I took my kids there in the 1990s. But that's the last time I've seen Disney. I'd really love to go back with the grandkids, but I won't set foot in Florida while dictator Ron is there!! ...5
@
@brokenmask333last yearWonder if Disney is considering just leaving Florida 2
@
@tgent2086last yearI heard he got married on Gay Pride Day at Disney, did not know it and now is taking out his revenge on Disney. Would explain a lot. 2
@
@vic5015last yearDeathSentence is a hypocrite? Shocking! Except not at all. The Walt Disney Corporate should be seriously considering getting the heck outta Floriduh. 4
@
@bradencampbell464last yearI wonder what his wife and in laws think of his anti Disney crusade, if they are a "disney" family as you put it. 13
@
@jonathanperry8331last yearHe effed up for virtually no reason. He bit the hand that fed him. I bet you there's going to be a lot of Disney money that's going to be lobbying for whoever his opponents 1
@
@terriseaton3049last yearDid Donald Duck officiate at the wedding ceremony? 2
@
@johnnyfreedom3437last yearWhen I was there we took a portrait of our living family surrounded by cartoon Disney characters implanted into the picture. Why don't they do the same with Ronnie's wedding shots? They'd make good campaign photos!! ...3
@
@oldsesalt8496last yearI wonder if Mrs Desantis dressed in a princess gown. 2
@
@michellewilcock6827last yearSaving corporate Disney money Ron DeSantis!!! 2
@
@rosesmith6925last yearDuhSantis is doing anything and everything to get the Right's attention as the upcoming badass messiah (apparently the first one didn't work out so well 😶). In hindsight they will come to understand what a truly deceptive creep this guy is. But they won't see or admit it til it's way too late... again 🤬 They deserve exactly what he gives them 😂 ...52
@
@dietrickturner1661last yearHe need to throw that book in the trash can only reason why he told me because people found out about it and he knew he had to say something he's a big liar too 1
@
@ZSAZSS09last yearSo he didn't want any Disney character in his wedding pictures? Was he afraid somebody could take him as a Disney figure? Maybe a new crook in uncle Scrooge? 3
@
@annettepiff4583last yearI wonder if his children ask to go to Disney World!
@
@DemonKing2k8last yearI can imagine the end credits from curb your enthusiasm for Ron…
@
@philiplombardo4332last yearDisney should stop giving to Ron DeSantis, and just maybe he would change his tune, if not then if there's any memories of his wedding at Disney World then take it down and then store in the garbage. 1
@
@burtonlaylast yearTO be fair, he only went anti Disney after they went against his don't say gay bill. So liking Disney before and hating them now fits the timeline... Still trash but not going to be hard on him for this one.. too many others to pick ...11
@
@farokudahitamlast yearDon't forget Donald Duck doesn't wear pants. 1
@
@alphaomega5909last yearWell, in this modern Tech era? He can photo shop all the Wedding pics,videos to edit out all DISNEY references?? And DISNEY should erase all evidence his marriage took place there too. 1
@
@nhlcbjlast yearI saw a documentary on here not too long ago about Disney world and Disney adults and one couple squandered the $1600 their parents gave them for their catering budget to have Mickey and Minnie Mouse show up at the reception for about 10 minutes. If that’s not a sign of cult behavior I don’t know what is. ...17
@
@antinatalopelast yearHuh? I didn't know humans could marry squids.
@
@catylynch7909last yearHmm. I wouldn't have wanted RON in my wedding pictures. Mickey, and company, would have been welcome. 3
@
@bonniehadbavny7919last yearHe was the character at his wedding - I'm thinking Dopey!! 1
@
@isisnmagic1812last yearCant wait to hear what desatan has to say when Disney moves out of Florida.
@
@pjrazvoza4343last yearSo what I'm getting from this video Farron, is that Ronnie is not woke. However he is married to the idea! And lives it every day in his own home. Thanks that clears it up a lot!
@
@kingbeef66last yearHypocrisy is a Republican value these days.
@
@mkunes2502last yearYou forgot to point out that desantis and his hoower wife’s family, paid Disney tens of thousands of dollars. 1

@
@terriquinlan7683last yearRon's demands regarding his nuptials sound like a description of his preference for the actual world. That is, he wants to be there, for his own purposes, but he wants you to clear out all the characters that he doesn't like. ...
@
@erict.watson2460last yearI bet Goofy and Scrooge, Dopey and Grumpy, Sleepy, Donald and Vader were all there anyway ... 2
