Federal Aviation Administration

As a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, amid concerns that general aviation could pose a threat to public safety, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) placed a permanent Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the entire Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

However, law enforcement and Walt Disney World Cessna 172 aircraft are exempt from this TFR.
