Following the landmark announcement that Josh D’Amaro will serve as the next CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle shared a celebratory message on social media. Vahle’s post highlighted D’Amaro’s unique leadership style, specifically praising his deep-rooted connection with Cast Members, partners, and guests.

Vahle’s message read:

“Josh D’Amaro is the real deal – someone who genuinely connects with people, with strong leadership and a passion to carry Disney into the future. And as you can see from this photo, he is not afraid to have a little fun at work.

All of us at Walt Disney World congratulate Josh and send our best wishes as he begins his journey as CEO of The Walt Disney Company.”

The post featured a candid moment showing Vahle and D’Amaro alongside Cast Members, playfully racing a fleet of remote-controlled astromech and BB-series droids from Galaxy’s Edge. This camaraderie is rooted in a long professional history; Vahle originally stepped into the role of Walt Disney World President in May 2020, succeeding D’Amaro when the latter was named Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products.

While no further executive shifts have been confirmed, Vahle is widely viewed as a top contender to succeed D’Amaro as Chairman of Disney Experiences. This public show of support underscores the internal stability and executive alignment surrounding D’Amaro’s transition to the CEO suite.

Vahle is currently at the helm of some of the most ambitious expansions in Magic Kingdom’s history. His leadership covers the highly anticipated debut of the Villains-themed land and the Piston Peak reimagining, which is set to transform the landscape of Frontierland.
