Two Disney employees are suing the company after they allegedly incurred significant losses when they sold their recently purchased homes in Florida to return to Los Angeles once the company announced it was scrapping its plans to open an office in Orlando’s Lake Nona community.

In 2021, Disney asked the lawsuit’s plaintiffs, Maria De La Cruz and George Fong, members of a Walt Disney Company product design team, along with 2,000 other employees in the company’s parks and resorts division based in Southern California to relocate to Florida. The new office would be opened by 2023, employees were told.
