Reedy Creek Improvement District is the 39-square-mile governing jurisdiction and special taxing district created in 1968 for Walt Disney World Resort's land that acts with the same authority and responsibility as a county government. The district includes two cities — Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista. It also has its own fire department and staff, and contracts law enforcement from local counties.
