Why Disney’s New CEO Josh D’Amaro Feels Like the Right Choice for Park Fans

Disney didn’t just name a new CEO. They picked a park guy. Why Josh D’Amaro taking the job feels like the right move—for fans, guests, and the future of Disney.

I can say that people internally are happy about it (especially in Orlando). I was also really happy to hear about Dana Walden being promoted to President and Chief Creative Officer—I had been worried that we would lose whichever didn’t get the CEO job and either one would have been a big loss.

I hope we can see a positive change in Disney as a whole with Josh D'Amaro at the helm of the whole company. Whatever era they've been in since Iger first left has gotten stale and has felt bad for the consumer and park goer alike. While I doubt prices will go down, maybe a return to better theming and creative freedom for Imagineers will be in order.
