Interesting. I've heard good things about Josh D'Amaro, and I really do hope he brings some of the best of Disneyland's operations to WDW.

Josh has been at WDW before as well. He was VP of Animal Kingdom in 2012.

I don’t know enough about the executive management to know if I should be excited or skeptical. Someone please point me in the right direction

Josh is loved by many Disney fans. I see this as a good thing for wdw. George was also loved by many. I’m interested to see how his new role goes.

I really really hope this helps.

Maybe we could dream big and they could at somepoint disentangle "parks, experiences and products"

I hope things go well with Kalogridis' new role, I've heard nothing but good things about him.

As one of way too many years of corporate experience, I see this as George slipping towards retirement with a job that requires less day to day hands on. You give someone this job as both a thank you AND a way to retain him to be an adviser to other leaders. He has so much experience you want him around while he gets a job that is less of grind - and he can parachute into any situation as needed
