Reedy Creek Improvement District

The Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) is a special governmental entity created by Florida to oversee infrastructure and services—like roads, water, and emergency response—specifically for the Walt Disney World area. It has authority similar to a city government, allowing Disney to manage local regulations, build infrastructure, and operate services efficiently within the district. Established in 1967, RCID helps support Disney's large resort complex, providing governance and services tailored to the needs of the area, while remaining separate from local governments outside its boundaries.
