The suit was related to the takeover of the district at the behest of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after Disney had opposed the state's "Don't Say Gay" law.
The article was pretty vague. From what I read, it sounded like Disney was basically dropping everything without really getting anything in return other than a mention of “expected negotiations of a ‘new development deal’ between the company and the district.”
This sounds right. Disney never really cared about “winning” anything. Disney is likely getting the money, concessions, and control it wanted, maybe more, still has the street cred from fighting back when people were still looking, and doesn’t care if DeSantis acts like he won.

Sounds more like DeSantis negotiated for them to stay, with better conditions, as a way to save face.
If Disney stays and it’s discovered that DeSantis gave them better conditions, it’s DeSantis that caved and negotiated a deal behind closed doors.
