"A round of layoffs has hit Team Disney Anaheim, the week before Christmas no less. Vice Presidents and senior management in several non-critical departments have been dismissed and walked out of the building in the last few days, as President Michael Colglazier is pressed to cut costs wherever he can. These layoffs are currently confined to Marketing, Finance and some of the fiefdoms in TDA that have no direct impact on theme park or hotel operations, so the departures shouldn't be felt by front line Cast Members or paying guests. But it's all due to Burbank mandates related to the troubled MagicBand rollout in Orlando. Christmas layoffs, putting Star Wars Land and other expansion on hold, and closing the Submarines with a fake "refurbishment" story likely won't be the end of the heartache for Anaheim, as more layoffs are set to hit TDA this winter. Not the warm holiday update we enjoy delivering".
