Economic Impact
Walt Disney’s dream of a place where families could immerse themselves in their favorite Disney stories caused a profound ripple effect, starting in Southern California, growing across the country to Florida, and around the world. Today, Disney’s destinations power a massive economic ecosystem that reaches far beyond our parks, ships and stores—supporting jobs, suppliers and small businesses in all 50 states.
