The move to Florida has been in the works since 2019, Disney officials said. AdvertisementD’Amaro and other Disney officials stressed that the Burbank-based company was not abandoning Southern California, where its film and television divisions are located. The 2,000 positions that will be relocated represent less than 5% of Disney’s total staff in California, according to Disney officials. Employees whose jobs will relocate to Florida will be offered moving assistance, Disney officials said. The announcement came only a month after Disney opened its new six-acre superhero-themed Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park.
