Story summary

Disney acquired Yamaha's 25-acre headquarters campus in Cypress, California, for $115.29 million on September 23. This acquisition is significant as Yamaha plans to move its US operations to Georgia after nearly five decades in California. The property, located approximately seven miles from Disneyland Resort's Simba parking lot, will not be converted into a theme park but instead used for "back-of-house operations," which includes non-guest-facing tasks like laundry and costuming. Disney stated that the purchase supports their long-term operational needs and business growth.
