Disney names new parks leadership roles

[jpeden]

You think Josh can figure out why we’re paying $6 for a Mickey Bar now? Because that sure as hell isn’t more Disney, more family, or more timeless.

As a side note I heard that the pricing on some items has gone up. Mickey Bars and the refillable mugs were among the items I heard mentioned. Can anyone confirm this? Marie

Yes - there is a thread on this as well.

You know once 2021 comes round then will be a Huge management shakeup.

I’m hedging with:

CEO - Kevin Mayer
Head of Parks, experiences and Products - Josh D’Amaro
chairman of Walt Disney Studios - Peter Rice

I think Kevin Feige will move to oversee both Lucasfilm and Marvel while both divisions have their presidents too.

Haven’t heard of Kevin. Do you have a good opinion of him?

Kevin is the head of Disney streaming aka Disney+

Odd that his past working history before Disney is that he worked for Playboy. He probably took part in those infamous centerfold bunny parties Hugh Hefner had at the Playboy mansion. But in his most recent write up, Mayer working for Playboy is not in his resume.

I believe Mayer was heavily involved in the Fox deal as well.

Cousin met Josh D’Amaro out tonight at the Enchanted Rose at Grand Floridian. Said he spent over 45 minutes talking to him and that he was hilarious. Good to see him out and about on property.

That position sounds like Director of Special Projects. In 2 years, there will be no special projects and the position will be eliminated.

"All of this has happened before, and it will happen again."

Did he tell him to stop with advanced bookings and return to 60-90 day dining reservations and legacy Fastpass rules?

No but I think he did have enough drinks to ask why is hotel room was $800
