Disney brings billions of dollars to the economy of Florida through its several theme parks and tourist experiences.
According to Adam Sacks, President of Tourism Economics, “Disney is also vital to the funding of public services, as it generated taxes of $6.6 billion in 2022, including state and local taxes of $3.1 billion.” Through direct or indirect means, such as employee spending, the local economy is strengthened by Disney World. However, Disney believes they have been overcharged on their property taxes for 2023 and they’re fighting back.
