Walt Disney World Resort once covered a total of 47 square miles 30,000 acres. It is home to four main theme parks, two water parks, six golf courses, a sports complex, an auto race track, twenty resort hotels and numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment offerings. They even have their own fire department, Reedy Creek. Walt Disney World is the largest theme park resort in the world, although over the past decade significant amounts of acreage have been sold off for housing and other developments, including land now occupied by the Disney-built (but not Disney-owned) community of Celebration.

Technically, Walt Disney World is located in Lake Buena Vista not Orlando, so it's possible that they currently do not own any land in Orlando.
The Walt Disney World Resort once covered a total of 47 square miles (122 square kilometers) or 30,000 acres, about the size of San Francisco or twice the size of Manhattan. While not widely reported, today that figure has been reduced by about a quarter as property has been sold off for housing developments and other purposes. While less than half the original property designated Walt Disney World has been developed, the reality is that due to habitat/environmental preservation requirements and land sales, only about 2,000 acres of Walt Disney World remain open for development.
Hope I could help!

I've been to Disney World in Orlando 8 times and going again in a few weeks :D It's the size of Greater Manchester (UK) so it's completely different to Paris Disneyland where everything's together. When I go to the one in France it basically gives me a flavour of walking down Main Street in the Magic Kingdom but it doesn't even begin to compare to Orlando! There's 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, downtown etc etc, so you really have to go to Orlando, it's a must!

not sure of what the exact amount they owned but it is impressive they have so many theme parks, hotels, villages, water parks, downtown disney and they stil have loads of land left over and as far as I know they have built as place place in Florida that is a town based on idealism of Disney.

Most of it I think! They have so many theme parks, water parks, safari parks and shopping outlets. Not to mention all the hotels and golf courses. As they seem to keep building more I guess they own even more than that.
