D'Amaro Talks "Aggressive" Walt Disney World Expansion Plans, Future of Galactic Starcruiser
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The video covers several updates regarding Disney Parks, beginning with insights from Disney Parks chairman Josh D'Amaro regarding expansion strategies. D'Amaro noted that the company intends to increase capacity at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland by adding attractions and utilizing space beyond current park boundaries. This includes a ten year, seventeen billion dollar investment in Florida parks to support new intellectual properties and existing transformations. The creator discusses the potential for utilizing older properties to appeal to a wider audience. The report also addresses the closure of the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, noting that the immersive experience will end this fall. D'Amaro indicated the hotel did not meet performance expectations, which will allow the company to claim significant tax write-offs through depreciation. Additionally, the video touches on maintenance issues at Walt Disney World, such as the Magic Carpets of Aladdin and Mission Space, and reports on the retirement of Toshio Kagami, the CEO of the Oriental Land Company, which operates Tokyo Disney Resort. Finally, the creator mentions various park updates, including new merchandise, dining changes at Hollywood Studios, and upcoming Little Golden Book releases.
