Erin Wallace no longer VP of MK!!!

[DVC-Landbaron]

Did I miss this when I was on vacation?

In case we all missed it - It seems there’s been some movement at the WDW high command!! I’ve been catching up on some of my other Disney sites and stumble upon this from a few days ago. I really don’t know how accurate it is, but I trust the author implicitly!!

It seems that Erin Wallace is no longer VP of the MK!! And Karl Holz is no longer the top gun at EPCOT!! Quite a shake up if you ask me. From what I understand they both have been promoted.

Anyway, without further ado, The Disney Food Chain:

Karl and Erin report directly to Lee Cockerell, who's the Executive Vice President of Walt Disney World. I believe he answers directly to Paul Pressler.

So??? Good? Bad? Or ugly? What’s your take?

I do not know much about the management structure and who is responsible for what, but it seems like that under Erin, many of the very grave maintenance problems the MK had were vastly improved. I've seen her walk through the park several times with a trash-picker-upper, pretty unusual for an exec-type.
Karl Holz, on the other hand, I do not know much about. I've been waiting for a response of his regarding a certain issue for a couple of weeks now. And i can't help but think that he holds much of the responsibility for the disgusting shape that the Epcot sign is in (or the arm that holds it, to be more exact).

Well there are a few resorts missing from the list. Last I heard the GM/VP of Yacht and Beach club was the studios former studios VP Malcolm Ross. Lee Cockerell the Executive VP of WDW Operations reports to Al Weiss the President of WDW.
