The legislature of Florida can not do away with the district on their own anyway.
Florida statute 189.072 section 2:
a) In order for the Legislature to dissolve an active independent special district created and operating pursuant to a special act, the special act dissolving the active independent special district must be approved by a majority of the resident electors of the district or, for districts in which a majority of governing body members are elected by landowners, a majority of the landowners voting in the same manner by which the independent special district’s governing body is elected. If a local general-purpose government passes an ordinance or resolution in support of the dissolution, the local general-purpose government must pay any expenses associated with the referendum required under this paragraph. LINK
In other words, the 100 residents of the Reedy Creek district will have to vote to dissolve the district. All 100 are handpicked Disney employees given the special privilege of living there.
Whether DeSantis signs the bill or not, it's worth about a much as the paper is written on.

Not so fast. From the text of Senate Bill 4C:
Notwithstanding s. 189.072(2), any independent special district established by a special act prior to the date of ratification of the Florida Constitution on November 5, 1968, and which was not reestablished, re-ratified, or otherwise reconstituted by a special act or general law after November 5, 1968, is dissolved effective June 1, 2023. An independent special district affected by this subsection may be reestablished on or after June 1, 2023, pursuant to the requirements and limitations of this chapter.
So the proposed bill would state that notwithstanding the section you quoted, yes they can do away with it. The Legislature writes the laws and can amend them as they wish.
