Speaking of education, UCF is now partnering up with Universal to teach the next generation of theme park designers for those wanting to get into the industry with students spending part of their time during the class at Universal:
"Weishar said the course has been in development for about a year. It was originally pitched by Mike West, a Universal Creative and Walt Disney Imagineering veteran who serves on the program’s advisory council, and West set up a meeting between Universal and the Themed Experience team."

There's way more than that... Uni has gotten an agreement with Rosen (UCF's hospitality college) to effectively use their new Theme Park Management degree (launching next fall) to train and act as a pipeline for Epic management. Disney doesn't have that - they have a ton of their hourly CMs taking classes via Aspire, but their pipeline is much less developed...Speaking of education, UCF is now partnering up with Universal to teach the next generation of theme park designers for those wanting to get into the industry with students spending part of their time during the class at Universal:

This seemed all-but-dead a few weeks back when they announced it was being "delayed." It seemed obvious to me that announcing that your construction project is being delayed wasn't necessary an act of transparency but a way to send a message to the people it was impacting that they were willing to make a deal to keep people in Southern California.
If it is truly dead, it will be interesting to see how Disney breaks the news to Florida.
It will also be interesting to see if Disney makes any accommodations for the people who already jumped at moving. Maybe they can spend some money on fixing up Celebration instead of sticking them in some low rise office building next to Universal.

Did he provide a reason?
I’m curious what’s changed since it started development under Iger, from a financial viewpoint it still makes sense to me, was the change due to losing creative people, due to politics, etc?

My guess would be most of the staff does not want to move there also it just makes sense to be centralized in Southern California so that its easy for teams to commute back and forth from Corporate HQ and the Studios.

Considering the deal only involved incentives open to anyone without any special concessions for the deal… probably a letter and a for sale ad

Are you meaning the new HQ building or the entire move from Cali to Orlando?

“The lake Nona project” @lentesta would have to provide more context.

I think the whole move is dead.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney’s long term projections on office space has drastically changed since the beginning of the pandemic.

After impacting 2000 jobs and lives and careers and pensions and family members' jobs and kids' schools not to mention all the people who left the company rather than make the move and...
Better for a company to admit they were wrong than stick to something because of sunk cost. So many companies are just making their employees angry trying to utilize office space they are stuck with instead of realizing that that matters is reaching goals and everything people do in an office is now software based anyways and can be done from home. I hope Disney can expand in a market where they have the best access to talent and peoples' home offices are FREE for them to use.

Pssst wanna buy a REIT?
lol pass. My philosophy in investing is that if your profits involve screwing people over or people stuck with your product and not people actually wanting your product, I'm out. The idea that prices will just go up forever on something people would like to not buy as soon as they have an alternative is ripe for disruption.
Or maybe they have found that productivity drops when people are home trying to juggle a lot more things at once.
