“I cannot express how magical this experience has been. But of all of the things…it is the people I will miss most of all. The amazing Cast…our wonder Guests…and our incredible passholders. It truly takes people to make the dream a reality. Magic has a name. It is ALL of you.”

Rebecca Campbell will move into the role of Disneyland Resort President whle D’Amaro transitions into his new role on the East Coast. Both will assume their new roles in November.
