D'Amaro Takes the Helm at Disney: A New Era for Theme Parks and Experiences
Newly appointed Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro is set to lead the company's ambitious $60 billion, decade-long expansion plan spanning theme parks, cruise ships, and residential 'Storyliving' communities.
D'Amaro takes over from Robert A. Iger at Disney's annual meeting, marking a significant shift in leadership for the entertainment giant.
The company's Parks and Experiences segment has emerged as its most dependable revenue stream, generating $36 billion in 2025 and accounting for approximately 76% of Disney's profits that year.
D'Amaro will focus on executing this expansion plan, which aims to strengthen the company's presence in physical experiences over purely digital growth.
Disney is also integrating artificial intelligence into both its parks and streaming ecosystem, signaling ambitions that extend beyond traditional entertainment.
