Disney's Pandemic Recovery Is Bringing Digital Innovation to Forefront of Theme Parks


Skift Take

At the D23 Expo, Disney Parks boss Josh D'Amaro announced significant updates to the theme park experience. The changes will likely include bringing Disney+ content to the parks, delivering the online experience to their parks.

Disney’s annual D23 Expo took place this past weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, where the conversation was led on stage by jeans and Adidas-clad Josh D'Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.

“There’s no limits to where we are going,” D’Amaro said in an address to an enthusiastic crowd. “When I look back over our first 100 years, what jumps out at me is how we are just constantly reinventing ourselves, telling new stories for brand-new generations. You all know this: We need those stories more than ever. And that’s a lesson we take straight from Walt.”

D’Amaro will be a featured speaker at Skift Global Forum taking place September 19-21 in New York City.
