Disney Experiences Lays Off 100–200 Employees

Overview

• The layoffs, which were reported Wednesday, are limited to Disney’s Experiences division that runs the theme parks, Disney Cruise Line and the Aulani resort.
• News organizations cite a person familiar with the matter who said between 100 and 200 people will be notified by the end of the day.
• Disney declined to comment on the reports and the company has not disclosed which roles or specific sites are affected.
• Experiences is Disney’s largest profit center, generating $36.2 billion in revenue and more than 56% of operating income in fiscal 2025, which makes staffing moves in the unit notable for the company’s results.
• The cuts follow multiple earlier rounds of job reductions and early-retirement offers this year and could reshape how the division times and funds parks projects ahead of the company’s November earnings report.
