Big things are happening at Tokyo Disney Resort!
Tokyo Disneyland
As one of the most innovative theme park resorts Disney has to offer anywhere in the world, we take great interest in the resort’s changes, both big and small. Recently, it was revealed that some major changes would be happening with the park’s operations, but what’s even more interesting is what these corporate adjustments could lead to.
On September 24th, 2025, The Oriental Land Company (OLC) — the tourism company that owns and operates Tokyo Disney — released some information regarding a change in the organization, the appointment of corporate officers, and changes in the responsibilities of executive directors.

The release detailed some pretty big changes taking effect on November 1st, 2025, including:
- In order to meet its 2035 Long-term Management Strategy, OLC is reorganizing its “entire structure into a function-based
framework with greater agility and specialized expertise to strengthen and enhance the efficiency of each
function.” Essentially, the company will reshuffle officer and executive roles, as well as divisional chains of command. - OLC is also reorganizing the Operations Division, Food Division, and Merchandise Division into other divisions “to strengthen its park operations and menu/merchandise” in order to maximize efficiency.
- Operations will “unify the park operation departments currently under the Operations Division, Food Division, and Merchandise Division into a single division.”
- The CS Enhancement Department — which is responsible for supporting guest services — will be integrated into the new Operations Division.
- The company will also establish several new divisions to streamline certain entertainment, food, marketing, and business tasks better. To view all of the divisional changes, click here.

So what does this mean for YOU and the average Tokyo Disney guest? In the short term, not much. Operations could become smoother, and the team behind Tokyo Disney could become more organized and efficient (fingers crossed), but the fruits of that labor won’t be felt immediately.
Down the road, though? This reshuffling could yield some interesting prospects. A major reshuffling like this doesn’t happen unless the company isn’t pleased with the current state of the resort. Are the company’s eyes focused on a grand restructuring/expansion? Why does it feel it needs to shake things up? Oh, to be a fly on the wall.
Fantasy Springs
In 2024, Tokyo DisneySea opened the very successful Fantasy Springs expansion with world-class attractions, eats, and experiences, so the company should be riding high. However, this year has seen OLC’s stock underperform a bit with mixed results.
What these changes will do to get the company back on track while surging ahead to some big gains remains to be seen. We don’t know what the restructuring could create — it’s possible that more theme park expansion happens or the company focuses on the enhancement of current offerings. What we do know is that, given our personal experience at the resort, we can’t wait for the next chapter and will bring you all the latest updates when they are released.

Having worked for a corporation for 35 years, this move tells me that they have grown the leadership layer too big. So tin order o reduce that layer, they are reorganizing. I expect you’ll see demotions of some middle management back to first level management, and some of the 1st level managers will be either released or demoted to non-managerial roles, and some older employees will be let go. This is all to reduce the amount of money being spent or salaries.
