121 - What Should Disney’s New CEO Do on Day One?

from Escape to the Magic Podcast

In this episode of Escape to the Magic, we break down the bold first moves we think Disney’s new CEO should make to reshape the company — from simplifying the park experience and restoring guest goodwill, to investing in major attractions and reigniting Disney’s creative spark. Will he double down on the parks? Rebalance the studios? Or redefine what “Disney magic” means in a post-pandemic, post-Genie+ world?We’re diving into the strategy, the risks, and the opportunities — and asking the big question: could D’Amaro be the leader who restores both the magic and the momentum?Friends of the show:Luxurious Vacation Home Rentals super close to Disney World - https://www.stayhappilyeverafter.com/Mainstreet Dads Club https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1F4uDCgtcQ/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://magiccandlecompany.com?sca_ref=4533910.xyWxobINVx📍Connect With Us:We'll see you on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/escapetothemagicpodcast/If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review our podcast on Apple Podcasts or drop us a comment on Spotify!
