Disney Parks Hint at a Fan-Driven Leadership Shift at D23 2026
At D23 2026, Disney unveiled an ambitious park-expansion slate alongside a noticeably fan-focused leadership tone: reviving the Expedition Everest Yeti and bringing back Dreamfinder to EPCOT, with new CEO Josh D'Amaro and Disney Experiences chief Thomas Mazloum engaging directly with fans. The event suggested a move from a sole financial-growth focus to prioritizing guest sentiment, though how consistently this will translate into day-to-day operations remains to be seen.
