The Disney thing is what did him in. It was such a stupid fight to pick. Even if he had, in any form, won that fight, he still would’ve lost, because he would’ve harmed his state’s largest employer, and therefore Florida’s economy (and a major donor to his campaign).
It was a stupid, completely bad political move. It undercuts his “Trump, but competent” image. Donald Trump, or more importantly, a competent version of Donald Trump, would’ve moved the goalposts to somehow declare victory and give up on that fight.
He only built the “competent” image because his party controls the state legislature. It’s easy to pass stuff when you control the whole government. It’s not an impressive political accomplishment.
