That was mentioned earlier in the thread, but the other side chose to ignore them: Here is a summary:

"But the sheer number of jobs, and tax revenue connected to Disney World, casts a long shadow in the halls of state government. A 2019 study found Disney dominates the Central Florida tourism industry, according to Oxford Economics, and produced:

$75.2 billion annual economic impacts for Central Florida.
463,000 jobs.
$5.8 billion in additional state tax revenue. "


For the past two years, that has dropped significantly, can't imagine why. But, it is pretty well accepted that the drop is temporary.
