Florida's Supreme Court ruled in 1968 that the Reedy Creek Improvement Act did not violate any provision of Florida's constitution. To apply the Federal constitution, a federal court case requires there to be an aggrieved party (and Florida state judges likely won't/can't revisit this to apply US constitution). Which leaves just Florida, which has no standing to challenge its own law after being enjoined by its own legal process, and leaves Disney which only gains from the contortions of the State of Florida and would also not challenge. All residents of Reedy Creek are Disney employees and their children, a major disincentive for any of them to be the political activist and challenge it, they are poorly paid and their rent is cheap ($75/month for space if using a mobile home).
