Walt Disney World Reorganizes Operations at Its Parks:

Yesterday, Disney World President George Kalogridis announced that Walt Disney World will be reorganizing its operations at its parks. No layoff are expected from the reorganization. It is adding additional duty managers that will provide operational support for day-of issues and also operations will move from being department based to a 'land' based organizational structure.

LaughingPlace.com used this as an example of what is changing:

"For example, the Magic Kingdom currently has a General Manager for different parts of the operation (attractions, merchandise, food and beverage, etc.). Now the General Manager will be in charge of an area (e.g. Tomorrowland). Proprietors would manage each part of the operation within that area. Front line managers would report to the proprietor."

The restructuring will affect Disney World parks, resorts, Disney Springs, and Disney Sports. The new organizational plan philosophy is to take a more holistic approach that will focus more on the overall guest experience, Disney said.
