ORLANDO, Fla. — The Walt Disney Co. said Wednesday it would eliminate an undisclosed number of jobs as part of a sweeping corporate overhaul at its domestic resorts, which includes plans to combine back-office operations at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
Disney would not say how many jobs it intends to cut or how much money it expects to save through the moves. The company employs about 80,000 people at its U.S. resorts.
With the shake-up, Disney will consolidate East Coast and West Coast “operating infrastructure” — responsibilities ranging from procurement to food and beverage to maintenance — under Al Weiss, president of worldwide operations for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
The plans also call for uniting disparate creative-engineering and business-development units under single executives. Orlando Sentinel; Detroit Free Press file photo
