Some Disney World stats.

Walt Disney World Resort Disney property covers 29 900 acres (approximately twice the size of the island of Manhattan).  That’s 47 square miles or 75 square kilometres.

5 900 acres are currently developed.  7 500 acres are wildlife conservation areas.

If you were to wash and dry one load of laundry every day for 33 years you would do as much laundry as Walt Disney World does in one day.

32 000 costumes per day are dry cleaned.

Mickey Mouse has more than 150 costumes.



Each year, guest consume over 7 million hamburgers.

Today it employs more than 66 000 “cast members”, spending more than $1.2 billion on payroll and $474 million on benefits each year.

More than 5 000 cast members are dedicated to maintenance and engineering, including 750 horticulturists and 600 painters.

The streets in the parks are steam cleaned every night.

While we are in Disney World, during the Easter spring break, there will be more than 200 000 guests visiting per day.   I can't stop thinking about the logistics of those 200 000 visitors.  They all need to get here, eat, go to the loo, and have a great time without getting fed up with the crowds.  It's quite a thing!
