Summary
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?
