It’s no surprise that Disney World is massive. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of trying to maneuver your way from one side to the other, you already know that it’s a hike and then some. The entire resort is 40 square miles. How big is 40 square miles? Well, that’s the same size as San Francisco.

Disney World is literally the size of a big city and it makes sense when you find out that it employs over 60,000 people, making it the biggest single-site employer in the country. That’s absolutely insane. 60 THOUSAND PEOPLE? Just at one of their parks? Let that sink in.
