Walt Disney Co.'s theme-park division has lost at least five executives in recent weeks.
The executives — who together have more than seven decades of experience with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts — have left or announced their intention to leave the company in recent weeks, either for new jobs or because of layoffs.
Among the highest-profile departures: Brian Britton, vice president of global park operations and planning for Disney's parks business. Britton is expected on Tuesday to be named executive vice president and chief operating officer at Chicago-based Levy Restaurants, which owns eateries such as Fulton's Crab House, Portobello and Wolfgang Puck Grand Café at Walt Disney World. The company also operates concessions at sports stadiums and convention centers across the country.
