Disney Experiences announced significant leadership appointments as part of its expansion plans for theme parks and the cruise line business. Key changes include the creation of a new role and appointments at Disneyland Resort, Disney Signature Experiences, and Shanghai Disney Resort.

Ken Potrock, a Disney veteran of 30 years, has been named President of the newly created Major Events Integration division. He will oversee strategic planning for large-scale events like the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the nation's 250th Anniversary. Potrock previously led Disneyland Resort's post-pandemic reopening and its long-term expansion initiative, DisneylandForward.

Thomas Mazloum, formerly President of Disney Signature Experiences, is now President of Disneyland Resort. He will oversee operations, including two theme parks and three resort hotels, as the resort undergoes significant growth through DisneylandForward. Mazloum has extensive Disney leadership experience across resorts, transportation, and more.

Joe Schott, a 40-year Disney veteran, has been appointed President of Disney Signature Experiences. He previously led Shanghai Disney Resort and oversaw expansions, including the Zootopia-themed land. Schott’s global expertise will guide Disney Cruise Line’s fleet expansion and international growth.

Andrew Bolstein, who played a critical role in the opening of Shanghai Disney Resort, has been promoted to President & General Manager of the resort. Bolstein brings decades of operational experience and strong local relationships.

These leadership changes reflect Disney's commitment to global expansion, including doubling the Disney Cruise Line fleet by 2031 and continued development of international parks and experiences. Transitions to these roles are effective immediately.
