I wanted to let you know that we’ve just begun communication regarding our updated plans for
the Lake Nona campus As many of you know, the company had decided to build a new Disney campus in Lake Nona, and many Cast Members, Imagineers. and Employees were asked to commit to making a move to Florida.

While some were excited about the new campus, I know that this decision and the circumstances surrounding it have been difficult for others. Given the considerable changes that have
occurred since the announcement of this project, including new leadership and changing
business conditions, we have decided not to move forward with the construction of the campus.


This was not an easy decision to make, but I believe it is the right one. As a result, we will no
longer be asking our employees to relocate For those who have already moved, we will talk
to you individually about your situation, including the possibility of moving you back.

It is clear to me that the power of this brand comes from our incredible people, and we are committed to handling this change with care and compassion. I remain optimistic about the
direction of our Walt Disney World business We have plans to invest $17 billion and create
13,000 jobs over the next ten years
. I hope we’re able to do so.

We are committed to our teams who call Central Florida home and to all of our Cast Members around the world, and I want to thank you for your continued dedication to Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products and for delivering world-class entertainment for our
Guests.
