An undisclosed number of job reductions are under way at Disney World following the company's announcement in January it was offering buyouts to 600 executives companywide, including about 300 in Florida.
Disney said at the time the buyouts could be followed by layoffs pending the response to the company's offers.
"We are in the middle of a domestic reorganization to our backstage operations." Mike Griffin, vice president of communications for Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, said today. "We are going forward with efficiencies."
Griffin declined to say how many jobs were being cut and how many layoffs were ordered. The job cuts began three weeks ago, he said.
