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 Disney 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 building occupies the former site of the Global Van Lines headquarters. The property was purchased by Disney in the 1990s and the 1950s-era Global building was razed. 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 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 near the Walt Disney World Casting Center. It claims to hold the largest sundial in the world. It is home to mostly internal IT personnel. Upper management has moved to the former Animation Building at the Disney's Hollywood Studios.
