According to a report from the Orlando Business Journal (OBJ), Disney is in talks to relocate some of its office divisions from headquarters in California to Orlando. Disney is reportedly targeting Lake Nona, although OBJ didn’t know what divisions might move or how many Cast Members would be relocated.
