Was Josh D'Amaro Chosen Using the 10th Anniversary Special Playbook? [Ep. 893]

About this episode

The episode reflects on Walt Disney World’s 10th Anniversary TV special and its relevance today, connecting it to current Disney leadership.

In this episode, we take a fun look back at Walt Disney World’s 10th Anniversary TV special and why it still matters today. It’s a wonderful time capsule of early Walt Disney World — full of familiar faces, classic moments, and that unmistakable Disney charm. We also connect the dots to today, talking about Josh D’Amaro’s rise through the company and what Disney leadership looks like when it’s built from real, on-the-ground experience. From then to now, it’s a reminder that Disney’s best leaders understand the parks, the cast, and the guests — and that gives us plenty of optimism for the future.
