Team Disney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are three buildings in the United States which carry the Team Disney title. Each serves as the administrative headquarters for key businesses of The Walt Disney Company.

• Team Disney Burbank in Burbank, California has served as the corporate headquarters of The Walt Disney Company since 1991. In January 2006, the site was rechristened Team Disney - The Michael D. Eisner Building in honor of former CEO Michael Eisner. Michael Graves designed the building, which features large figures of the dwarves from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on its facade.

• Team Disney Anaheim in Anaheim, California is the administrative headquarters of the Disneyland Resort. It contains the offices of resort President Ed Grier. The administration facility was built in the 1950s by Global Van Lines, but was purchased by Disney in the 1990s. Its replacement, designed by architect Frank Gehry, opened in 1995.

• Team Disney Orlando in Lake Buena Vista, Florida is the administrative headquarters of the Walt Disney World Resort. It is home to mostly IT personnel. Upper management has moved to the former animation building at the Disney-MGM Studios. It opened in 1991 and is three times larger than the Team Disney Anaheim building. Designed by architect Arata Isozaki, it sits across from Downtown Disney, next to the Walt Disney World Resort Casting building.
