NEWS: CEO Bob Iger Highlights Disney’s $30 Billion Theme Park Investment in NEW Statement

It’s certainly no secret that the sweeping tariffs rolled out by the Trump administration are going to have an impact on Disney vacations — and likely everyday life for many.

It’s also no secret that The Walt Disney Company, through its many different areas of business, has a large impact on the United States’ economy. Still, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under Trump has announced a plan to investigate Disney’s policies, and now Disney has added a page to its website highlighting just how great the company’s economic impact is.

A new page has been added to The Walt Disney Company’s corporate website that highlights the impact the company has on the United States’ economy, including a message from CEO Bob Iger. In Iger’s statement, he shares that Disney’s “enduring cultural influence” is what sets it apart as a brand and a business, and that from entertainment and travel to consumer products and sports, Disney employs 160,000 people in all 50 states.

Iger also highlights the company’s $30 billion investment in its domestic theme parks, along with Disney’s plan to spend over $23 billion on film and television production in 2025 alone.

The page continues, focusing on the billions of dollars Disney invests in the American economy, including the company’s plans to add 10,000 new jobs in Florida and California with its current theme park expansions. Disney has also invested $370 million in higher education and professional development for its employees through the Disney Aspire program.

Additionally, the updated website states that Disney is the number one wish-granter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation program for children facing critical illness — they grant a child’s wish every hour, every day.

While the page focuses on Disney’s investments in the economy, there were no details or timelines mentioned about this $30 billion investment, or what exactly it might be allocated to.

Disney had previously announced a $60 billion investment in Disney Experiences over the next decade — with 50% of the budget — roughly $30 billion — going towards the Disney Parks and resorts, 30% — about $18 billion — to Tech and Maintenance, and 20% — about $12 billion — will go towards the Disney Cruise Line and non-specified entertainment.

We’re hopeful Disney will share more about its theme park investment during the upcoming earnings call on May 7th, so check back with us then for more news.

We’ll be on the lookout for more updates about Disney’s multi-billion-dollar investment. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to AllEars for the latest Disney news!
