The Walt Disney Co. has announced plans to

combine back-office operations for Walt Disney World and Disneyland

and eliminate an unknown number of jobs.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo sent a memo to

employees Wednesday, explaining that plans to streamline the

company's corporate structure have been accelerated because of the

country's troubled economy.

Disney employs about 62,000 people in central Florida. The

company has not said how many jobs will be eliminated.
