Josh D'Amaro is taking over as President of Walt Disney World. There is no President of Animal Kingdom. Each individual theme park has a Vice-President that oversees it and reports to the overall WDW president.

That is who I'm referring to. If you all would stop jumping the gun, you'd understand. If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport, half of you all would be Gold Medalists.

Gotcha. You referred to a non-existent position held by a person who you would have known and referred to by name had you worked within the company. And the only reason you originally brought up that non-existent position was to tell us that they would have to cut into Everest's outer rock work "like shingles" to fix the Yeti (which is beyond elementary-level stupid). Are you still under NDA to not reveal the parking garage you personally cancelled at Magic Kingdom (but didn't know about)?

"I didn’t jump to conclusions. I took a small step, and conclusions there were." --Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I know that's who you were referring to. So does just about everyone else who read your post. That is not the point. It is about the continuing pattern establishing that you have no credibility. Someone as well placed within the Disney organization as you claim to be would at least get the titles right for the people you are referring to.

I appreciate your humour, but the persistent gate keeping is a rather annoying gimmick. Who are you to say who will and who will not be a Disney exec? Unless of course you are one yourself.

Nope...but I know how some of them think/I play one on tv 😎

I’ve never been accused of being a gatekeeper before...more like the guy that left the Keys to the Bastille in the lock

My apologies. I was just kind of grumpy in the moment. You’re cool.
Tom P. said:
You did, but you did so in the context of trying to refute my statement that President of Animal Kingdom is not a thing. Which it isn't. Just because the former Vice-President of Animal Kingdom became the President of Walt Disney World does not make the job of President of Animal Kingdom exist.

Yep. My mistake. I just sort of assumed if there was a VP of a Park, there had to be a President. That’s how it works most everywhere else, but Disney likes to play by it’s own rules.

Agreed. The title does make it a bit confusing. How can you be Vice-President of something that has no President? I assume they are trying to say that those people are Vice-Presidents of Walt Disney World focused on a particular park, but it is still an odd title.

For the average layman on these boards, I think that is an easy mistake to make. But for someone (not you) who claims to be in upper management at Walt Disney World, the correct titles should be known. That was really my point.

Yeah that’s a fair point. And a fair assumption on why they chose to call them VPs.
