Disney Faces Lawsuit Over Canceled Florida Office Project

Employees allege significant financial losses after relocating from California based on company promises

Two Disney employees, Maria De La Cruz and George Fong, have filed a lawsuit claiming they were misled into moving to Florida for a now-canceled office project.
Disney initially promised affordable housing, great schools, and extensive office amenities in Orlando's Lake Nona community.
The project, announced in 2021 and delayed to 2026, was ultimately scrapped in 2023 amid conflicts with Florida's government.
Relocating employees struggled with falling housing values in Florida and rising prices in California upon their return.
The lawsuit seeks compensation for the financial losses incurred by the employees due to the canceled project.
