Today, CNBC and Josh D’Amaro officially shared that there is going to be a shift in leadership.

Beginning in November 2019, Rebecca Campbell, who was the most recent “president of Europe, Middle East, and Africa for the company’s direct-to-consumer and international segment” will oversee Disneyland Resort.

Josh D’Amaro, the current president of the Disneyland Resort, will take over the position at Walt Disney World.

D’ Amaro shared on Instagram that, “It is with mixed emotions that I will be leaving the Disneyland Resort and accepting the role as president of the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. 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 wonderful Guests… and our incredible passholders. It truly takes people to make the dream a reality. Magic has a name. It is ALL of you.”
