Disney names VP for Hawaii resort

[jmatias]

Just read this on Pacific Business News:


Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has brought in a 20-year veteran to serve as vice president of the club and resort to be built in Hawaii.

Djuan Rivers has been named vice president of Disney Vacation Club and Resort, Hawaii.

Rivers, who has relocated to Hawaii, will work with the community and business and government leaders as the 21-acre oceanfront property is built at Ko Olina Resort.

Rivers has helped open nine resorts in Florida and Paris. He has held various other leadership positions and most recently served as vice president of new business development for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

Wow! Now if that isn't riding off into the sunset with a great job, I don't know what is!!!

It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it! Hopefully this will put to rest the notion of Hawaii being another Eagle Pines.

I would think this means Hawaii is on the "Go List" It is a very popular place!

If I were Disney, I'd cancel this project. Who's going to be able to afford to fly to Hawaii?

Great news! I'm happy to see this project move forward.
