Disney employees are reportedly upset about the company’s plan to relocate 2,000 Florida workers from California and blame CEO Bob Chapek for the “mess”.
Several Disney employees recently told The Wrap that the company’s decision to delay the transition to 2026 reinforces what many already felt: “You can’t trust Bob Chapek.”
“This is total chaos,” said one current employee. “TRUE.”

Walt Disney Co. plans to relocate approximately 2,000 California workers to its new campus in Lake Nona, Florida, near Orlando. Disney said last week that it delayed its planned move by nearly four years, and that the delay was due to a new campus completion date, not the company’s ongoing battle with Gov. Ron DeSantis (right).
Delay causes confusion in the lives of employees who need to be moved.
“A lot of people are angry,” an insider told The Wrap, while another said, “It’s ruining people’s lives and school plans.”
Some employees affected by the move say Disney is in trouble when it comes to the logistics of the move.
Insiders told The Wrap that employees who previously refused to relocate but are now reconsidering their decision due to the new schedule should re-contact Human Resources to negotiate a decision. But in most cases, these Florida employees have already filled their posts, and the third-party HR professionals hired to handle the situation have been reported to be unresponsive and unhelpful.
In other cases, Disney did not allow employees who agreed to move to reconsider or delay their planned move; It was a decision that employees described as “curious” and “weird”.
Some Disney employees are reluctant to move to Florida because of the state’s parent education law, which prohibits teaching children in kindergarten through third grade the theory of sexuality and gender, including transgenderism.
Many employees at Disney still harbor resentment against CEO Bob Chapek for his initial refusal to get involved in Florida politics. Capek later agreed to incite an employee’s request to take up radical LGBT activism as part of Disney’s core corporate mission.
As a result, Florida took away the special taxes and self-government privileges of Disney World of Orlando.
Disney shares are down as much as 40 percent this year.
