Lou... 3,118 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Walt Disney World and its related businesses in Florida generate an estimated $18.2 billion a year in economic activity and are responsible for more than one of every 50 jobs in the state, according to an impact study paid for by the giant resort.The report, released Wednesday, found that Disney's theme-park operations in the state ? which include Disney World, Disney Cruise Line and its Disney Vacation Club time-share business ? account for 2.5 percent of Florida's cumulative gross domestic product.By Jason Garcia, Orlando Sentinel, 4:39 p.m. EDT, April 13, 2011, os-disney-economic-impact-20110413 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 ...which is one reason why there should NEVER be a state income tax in Florida!I'm assuming this report does not include "spin-off" revenues. (ie - independent hotels, resorts, time shares, gift shops, restaurants, etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I would think it would be larger.The only reason I go to Floriday is WDW. :banana: And Daytona for the 500. :dance:The mountains are my personal preference. If it wasn't for hubby, I would be living in the upstate of SC, not on the coast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm assuming this report does not include "spin-off" revenues. I would like to see the numbers if you included non-Disney companies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
