Disney Parks Chief Begs California To Let Disneyland Reopen; “We’re Ready, And It’s Time,” Says Josh D’Amaro
Jill Goldsmith Co-Business EditorJosh D’Amaro, the new chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Tuesday begged California officials to let Disneyland reopen and to “treat theme parks the way you treat other sectors.”California Governor Gavin Newsom promised last week that news about Disneyland’s reopening would be coming “very soon.”But ‘soon’ is subjective and with nothing forthcoming, executives ramped up the heat during a webcast today for key stakeholders to provide an update on the parks business. D’Amaro and other execs shared progress across the parks’ operation with a focus on Walt Disney World in Orlando since it reopened in July.
