Disneyland President to take over at Walt Disney World

[ECG]

George Kalogridis, the President of Disneyland in Anaheim, California, will take over as the new president of Walt Disney World & Meg Crofton (current WDW President) will focus solely on her duties as president of all theme park operations for Disney parks in the United States & Europe as another management restructuring was announced today.
The Walt Disney Co. shook up its senior theme park management ranks by reassigning more than a half-dozen top executives including Kalogridis, who began his Disney career as a hotel bus boy in Orlando.
Michael Colglazier, the vice president in charge of Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park in Orlando will take over for Kalogridis as the new President at Disneyland. Replacing Colgalizer at Animal Kingdom is Josh D'Amaro, who currently runs the company's Adventures by Disney packaged-tour business.
The changes were ordered by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs & are designed, the company said, to give upper managers "the opportunity to broaden their knowledge" of Disney's global operations.
The company said no one would leave Disney as part of the changes & all of the appointments are effective Feb. 1.
