Star Wars creating 1,700 full-time jobs at Disney World

ORLANDO, Fla. — Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is creating 1,700 full-time jobs at Walt Disney World.

Disney officials said Thursday an additional 5,500 short-term jobs were created.

The 14-acre land at Walt Disney World opens at the end of the month. It cost $1 billion and is the largest single-themed land created at a Disney park. An identical park opened earlier this summer at Disneyland in California.

Disney World employs more than 75,000 workers, the largest workforce at a single site in the U.S.
