Florida State Park Reservation window changes
The Governor has approved HB 109, this bill allows Florida residents to reserve state park campsites 11 months in advance, non- residents 10 months. It goes into effect Jan 1, 2024.

To put it in perspective, there are about 2000 campsites in all of Florida State parks. Letting residents have access to these isn't going to kill the tourist economy. Disney's Ft. Wilderness alone has nearly the capacity (1500 sites and cabins) as the entire state park system. Oh, Disney has well over 20,000 rooms just on their property..... add an order or 2 of magnitude to that just for the Orlando area. State parks do not drive the tourist economy in Florida.
