Disney World has called Florida home for more than 50 years but the last several months have been a bit tough at home. Walt Disney World is in the middle of a pair of lawsuits between Disney and Florida over recent changes to the special district governing the vacation kingdom. And while Disney World recently scrapped plans that would have seen Disney spend $1 billion on a new campus in Florida for Cast Members, a $17 billion investment in the resort itself is still planned, at least for now.
Two years ago Disney announced plans to move 2,000 Cast Members, including the bulk of Walt Disney Imagineering, from Southern CA to a new campus at Lake Nona in Florida. The initial plan to move was to be completed by the end of this year, and while that deadline was pushed back to 2026 after the battle with Florida started, all indications were that it would happen. Then, earlier this week it was announced that the entire campus would be scrapped.
