Current Disney CEO Bob Iger and incoming CEO Josh D'Amaro spent Friday morning at Disneyland celebrating D'Amaro's appointment to the coveted position.

What's Happening:

• On his Instagram account, outgoing CEO Bob Iger shared that he spent a morning at Disneyland with Josh D'Amaro, the new CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
• As Iger aptly put it, "I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Josh’s appointment!"

• D'Amaro also shared a series of photos of he and Iger at Disneyland on his Instagram.

• Earlier this week, it was announced that Josh D’Amaro will become the next Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company.
• He will take over the role effective at the upcoming Annual Meeting on March 18, 2026.
• Meanwhile, Dana Walden (current Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment) has been named President and Chief Creative Officer of The Walt Disney Company.
• After March 18, Bob Iger will remain on as a Senior Advisor and a member of the Disney Board until his retirement from the company on December 31, 2026.

• Former CEO Michael Eisner offered his congratulations to D'Amaro, complimenting the Disney Board "for making such a wise pick."
• Iger and D'Amaro sat down together for a wide-ranging interview with ABC News' David Muir, which marked the first time the two spoke together publicly since the announcement.
• Our own Ben Breitbart even had a chance to chat with D'Amaro about how he plans to stay connected to fans even after he takes on a bigger role at Disney.
