The summary states that the company paid out nearly $1.8 billion to 59,000 state workers in 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe numbers are very impressive considering that the company hasn&rsquo;t built a new park in the state since it launched Animal Kingdom in 1998.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOfficials say that future growth will be driven by the construction of hotels featuring &ldquo;family suites&rdquo; which can sleep up to six people. Disney hopes the affordable suites will allow families to extend their stays with more budget-friendly lodging options.&nbsp; &nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/the-daily-disney\/os-disney-economic-impact-20110413,0,7480432.story\" target=\"_blank\">Orlando Sentinal <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Disney World generates big business in Florida &nbsp; An impact study commissioned by Walt Disney World found that the park and its related businesses generate an astounding $18.2 billion in economic activity each year in the state. &nbsp; The report also claimed that the company generates 1 out of every 50 jobs in Florida [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94691773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94691773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94691773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94691773\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94691773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94691773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94691773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
