WDI President Barbara Bouza is Resigning
- Thread starter Tha Realest
- Start date
The writing was on the wall a year ago when he was brought back, and then when she was noticeably absent at recent D23 and other events hyping up Imagineering projects.
What’s interesting is after she dispenses with the “licensed architect” sentence it reads like the resignation letter of a longtime chairperson of a public advocacy group or a PAC.
That she either grossly misunderstood her assignment,
Or
More disconcertingly, completely understood it.
She was a Chapek hire.

She's going to oversee the building of even more ugly sleek and modern buildings
She in her letter " challenged the norm ". Cross Iger and risk ones job.

Check your calendar…and never believe in coincidence
Yeah…like everyone else fired for the last 40 years
Didn't DVC President Jim Lewis back in the day after he got fired then became a consultant for Disney on a short term basis? Like a role like that?

Vaughn in this position is a monumental win.

Proudly building upon our extraordinary legacy, Imagineers are shaping a future that inspires humanity. As one global team of innovative creators and storytellers, we immerse our guests in experiences that make memories of a lifetime.
As a licensed architect I was recruited by The Walt Disney Company to challenge the norm and bring broader global industry perspective and expertise. Joining Walt Disney Imagineering in June of 2020, I truly believed humanity needed Disney more than ever. The world was trying to understand the impact of a global pandemic, business disruption, stay at home orders, a reckoning on race, and the growing political divide. From there Imagineers endured the pressures of talent reductions, unprecedented hyper-escalation on projects, political crosshairs, and the need to make life changing decisions with their families around the relocation from California to Florida.
Through all of this, Imagineers relentlessly created and delivered some of the most impactful projects in the history of The Walt Disney Company. This success has fueled the turbocharged growth of Disney Experiences through $60 billion in investment over the next 10 years that Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro speak of. So I want to take this moment to personally thank all Imagineers, past, present and future for making the impossible possible.
It is bittersweet as I wrap up my work as President of Walt Disney Imagineering this month before I create an even bigger impact for world. Stay tuned! WDI will be in excellent hands with my partner, Bruce Vaughn, Chief Creative Officer, who is an exceptional creative leader.
“There’s really no secret about our approach. We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious.”

Wow...she REALLY believed that she had a massive impact on "humanity" and the "world"?
Most impactful projects in the entire HISTORY of Disney? HAHA...seriously???
This person just SCREAMS arrogant "activist" to me.
Wow....OK,..was anybody here truly "inspired" by anything she did with Imagineering? If so, that's cool,...No judging,...I'm just asking.

She moved forward that's for sure - right out the door ...
What about "...humanity needed Disney more than ever." Good, grief!!! That is jus laugh out loud LOONEY!
If this is how she envisioned bringing about humanity’s future she is more dystopian than Skynet.

Makes you wonder about the real reason behind her hiring…
