Disney Has Significant Impact on Florida's Economy

Last week, Disney released the findings of an economic impact report from the year 2009. How's this for impact: according to the findings, Disney generated over $18 billion in total economic activity for that year. In addition, some 160,000 jobs were created by Disney in that year alone.

Walt Disney World President Meg Crofton called the numbers "impressive and went on to say: ""We make a difference in Central Florida and the state, and we're really proud of that."

Disney officials keep the future in mind as they continue to think about the long-term scheme of things and take on projects that continue to create many jobs for central Florida residents. An example of this thinking is the current Fantasyland expansion.
