One House, Many Rooms...


The Walt Disney Company is made up of many divisions. It's a huge company that exist in the 21st Century, a mere eighty-five years after Walt and his brother Roy formed their little animation company...

I figured we would take a moment and look the divisions within the Mouse:

What about Disney Cruise Line or Adventures by Disney?

Could you tell some more about these divisions? I don't know half of 'em. But what an impressive list. Thanx for posting :-)

Anonymous,

Uhm...

They're there?

Scott said...

Does Disney Vacation Club fall under one of the other divisions?

Scott said...

And I second Roald's comment - some need little or no commentary, but I'd be interested in hearing about some of the lesser known divisions of Disney.

Scott: I believe that DVC falls into the Parks and Resorts part of the company.

All:

There are really only about 8 or so top level parts to the company:

-Corporate
-ESPN
-ABC/Disney TV
-Studios
-Parks & Resorts
-International
-DIMG
-Consumer Products

Beyond Corporate, each of the others is a Business Unit and each of those Business Units in turn has several Line's of Business inside of them.

Corporate for instance has what you'd expect of a company:
-Legal
-Accounting
-Finance
-Corporate IT
etc. etc. etc.

P&R has:
-Disneyland Resort
-DisneyWorld Resort
-Operating agreements for DLP and HKDL
-Adventures by Disney
-DVC
-Cruise Line
-Disney Vacation Services

etc. etc. etc.

The Studio's is all the studio labels and I believe the music parts as well.

Publishing I'm pretty sure is in Consumer Products.

Can we please have a flowchart so we know which departments are in charge of the others?

Honor makes a list and all people can to is complain about what they think is missing. Good Grief. Thanks Honor.

Michael said...

Don't know of an external flowchart (and believe me, as a guy who wants a job there and is trying to get one, it'd be NICE!).

Theatrical is in Studios.

Radio Diz is in Media Networks.

A decent list is on the official corporate page at:

http://corporate.disney.go.com/corporate/overview.html

Along with the officers at:

http://corporate.disney.go.com/corporate/management_team.html

The two are in pretty good agreement for the most part.

The one that's a little different is media networks which is split in two and co-chaired by George Bodenheimer and Anne Sweeney. They slipt Media Networks and I beleive George is at ESPN HQ in Bridgeport, Connecticut while Ann is at ABC headquarters in NYC. I don't know about Walter.

Bob, Dick, Andy, Jay and Steve are all in California, as well as the rest of the corporate team I believe.
