Did we already talk about this and I missed it? Or is this truly news that is just breaking or just now being admitted to by Burbank?
In short, Walt Disney Imagineering is joining the growing list of companies that are moving out of California.
WDI, originally WED, has been based at a campus in Glendale since 1953. Now it will be based at Disney's 60 acre Lake Nona campus near Orlando being built for $864 Million. Uh....
The secretive creative lab started seven decades ago by Walt Disney for the construction of Disneyland will soon bid farewell to Southern California when the headquarters for Walt Disney Imagineering moves to Central Florida.
Walt Disney Imagineering will be based at the new Lake Nona campus in Orlando, Florida, near the Walt Disney World resort, according to a Disney Parks, Experiences and Products spokesperson.
An opening date has not been set for Disney’s Lake Nona campus. Imagineering’s relocation from California to Florida is expected to continue through the end of 2022.
Imagineering won’t relocate to Florida until the Lake Nona campus is ready due to the specialized space requirements necessary for Audio-Animatronics and other technological needs, according to a Disney Parks spokesperson.
Disney Parks, Experiences and Products chairman Josh D’Amaro wrote a letter to employees in July describing the upcoming Lake Nona relocation as a “catalyst that sparks growth, collaboration and new ideas for the future.”
The new 60-acre Lake Nona campus represents a $864 million investment by Disney, according to the Orlando Business Journal.
The Lake Nona campus will give Imagineering and other Disney Parks teams the opportunity to be more collaborative from a creative and operational standpoint, D’Amaro wrote in the letter.
