A LOT has happened within the Walt Disney Company over the past month after Bob Iger stepped back into the role of CEO of the company after Bob Chapek stepped down. That means that a lot might change moving forward.

Back in 2021, Disney purchased land in the Lake Nona region of Orlando to build a campus to relocate thousands of the company’s employees there. Disney later announced this was delayed, and after Iger stepped back in as CEO, he stated that he had not yet made a decision on it. Now, though, we have our latest update on the project.

According to The Orlando Business Journal, Disney’s relocation of some 2,000 employees to Lake Nona is still moving forward. The development company behind the Lake Nona area, Tavistock, has made a statement. The company’s Vice President of Strategic Communications Jessi Blakely said that more updates about the Disney move would be coming in 2023.

Blakely said, “In the short-term future, things are moving along with Disney very well. I do expect that there will be news in the coming year around that project.”

However, the site Disney bought for its Campus in Lake Nona has shown no signs of construction progress recently. The original plan was to move those employees to the area by 2026, but until we have more information, that date may change.

We’ll have to wait and see what Iger’s next move will be — if the relocation delay gets longer, he may not be CEO when the move is scheduled to take place. However, Iger  could still play a vital role in deciding if and when Disney makes that move, so we’ll have to keep an eye out for more details in the future.
