Disney purchased land in the Lake Nona area of Orlando in 2021 to build a campus that would relocate thousands of Disney employees to Central Florida.

If your head is still spinning from all the recent Disney announcements — you’re not alone.

Not only that, but Disney dropped even more huge news — the Star Wars Hotel is closing, and the $1 billion employee relocation project to Orlando has officially been scrapped. This leaves the door wide open for Disney in multiple ways, so what’s coming next?

The Starcruiser’s last voyage will be from September 28th through the 30th (this final trip is now sold out). Disney executive Josh D’Amaro just shared more details about WHY the Starcruiser failed and how this will affect The Walt Disney Company. [Read more…]
