The Big Land Deal
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
Let's get down to numbers. We're talking a whopping 27,520 acres, folks! That's a landmass bigger than San Francisco, folks. Yeah, you could fit multiple Disneys in there, with room leftover for a giant Mickey waffle pool (patent pending). Apparently, Walt Disney learned his lesson from Disneyland in California, where they got boxed in by tourist traps. This time, they went full-on land baron and secured enough space to build a dream world, with room for expansion (looking at you, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Part Deux).

But Wait, There's More!
Now, hold on to your Mickey ears. This 27,520 acres isn't just theme parks and churro stands. It's a whole ecosystem, my friends! We're talking hotels, golf courses, water parks, and enough conference centers to host every dentist convention on Earth (no offense to dentists, we love your shiny tools). It's basically a self-contained vacation bubble, with everything you need for a magical (and slightly expensive) getaway.

Here's the fun part: Disney wasn't exactly upfront about their land-buying spree. Back in the 1960s, they bought up massive tracts under a bunch of fake names. Imagine the confusion at the county clerk's office: "So, who's this 'Joe Mouse' and why is he buying up half of Orange County?" Sneaky, sneaky Disney.

So, Does Disney Own All of Florida Now?
Relax, beach bums! While 27,520 acres is a lot of land, it's only a tiny fraction of Florida (like, 0.13% to be exact). There's still plenty of room for retirees, rocket launches, and questionable roadside attractions (we're looking at you, Gatorland).
