It is behind a paywall, but the report suggests that some parts of the business that are currently on the West coast may move to Orlando in response to the continued shutdown in California.

I mentioned this in another thread, but why would they build in lake Nona when they already have offices and land in celebration? There’s still empty plots available and they just bought a ton of land behind the town last year too.
CA execs will live like kings with lower cost of living/ no state income tax.

They are dumping leases on some of those offices in Celebration since they don't plan to re-occupy them now that they've learned those roles can deliver remotely. And if they make the final decision to do this they can keep roles related to parks in Celebration and the more corporate roles out in Lake Nona. They already have facilities all across town in seemingly random areas where space was available. This would allow them to build a campus for non-parks activities and consolidate all of those functions into that property.

I wonder what they're going to do with DRC (in both Orlando and Tampa). There is ZERO need for those teams to be in the office anymore.

Those are some of the many inevitable changes based on what they've learned operating under the pandemic home office model. The infrastructure couldn't do it back when this all started but has evolved to be no big deal now.
That's a big sized office complex (DRC ) Orlando that could be empty. It is actually in a rough section at the edge of I - Drive.

I would love it if most of Imagineering moved to FL. It seems like so many recent projects were designed with California's climate in mind.
If they live in Florida, perhaps more shade structures and rain covers will be worked into the design. Wouldn't mind more air conditioned structures too.

No better way to stick it to tin pot dictator Gavin "I'm king of the world" Newsom. Yes, Disney, please join all of the other corporate behemoths moving whole cloth or in part outside of the state.
