Jobs at Walt Disney World Resort

Walt Disney World Resort is a contiguous 40-square-mile, world-class entertainment and recreation center featuring four theme parks; two water adventure parks; 33 resort hotels; 81 holes of golf on five courses; two full-service spas; Disney's Wedding Pavilion; Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex; and Downtown Disney, an entertainment-shopping-dining complex encompassing the Marketplace, Pleasure Island and West Side.

With so much going on at Walt Disney World, it's no wonder that it is one of the largest employers in the Orlando area.

With more than 3,000 different job roles available, it's hard, if not impossible, to find a more diverse group anywhere.
