With three hotels, two amusement parks and a retail and restaurant district, Disneyland Resort is OC’s top employer with 31,000 workers, and gets more than 20 million visitors a year.
Its new leader, Rebecca Campbell, is a 20-year Disney vet most recently overseeing film operations for the company in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and will be the resort’s fourth resort president in 10 years.
She succeeds Josh D’Amaro, who held the title from early 2018 to November 2019.
Campbell came on to lead local park operations a few months after the debut of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge; the attraction’s second ride is expected early next year, followed by the opening of a Marvel-themed land in Disney California Adventure. Also in the works is a 350-room Disney Vacation Club timeshare.
“This is a period of incredible investment in the Disneyland Resort,” Campbell said in a statement.
