Could Disneyland move out of Florida?

It would actually be extremely difficult, experts say. Impossibly so. “There isn't enough tea in China or gold in the ground to get Disney to leave Florida,” said Dennis Speigel, president of the consulting firm International Theme Park Services. He said Disney created a global destination for leisure travel.



This is a common point of confusion: Disneyland is located in California and is not going anywhere; the resort in Florida is Walt Disney World. Regarding whether Walt Disney World could "move" out of Florida, the practical answer is no. While political tensions between Disney and the Florida government in recent years led to rumors of a move, the logistics make it impossible. The resort spans roughly 25,000 acres (about the size of San Francisco) and contains four theme parks, dozens of hotels, and massive underground utility networks. Relocating such a multi-billion dollar infrastructure would take decades and cost more than the company's total valuation. Instead of moving, Disney has committed to investing another $60 billion into its parks and resorts over the next decade, much of which is earmarked for the Florida property, cementing its permanent residence in the Sunshine State for the foreseeable future.
