> The property is freaking massive, like medium sized town massive.

Large city massive: Disney's property in Florida is roughly the same size as the city of San Francisco, though the vast majority of it is undeveloped.

> The government can take the district back but now they are on the hook for providing services

Yes, but there is no requirement that they continue to provide services at the same level of quality that the special district provides. The Disney experience will suffer (and tourism and tax revenue will fall) if the counties cannot provide services that are consistent across the two different counties, and consistent with Disney's current level of service.
