Disneyland Resort current President, George Kalogridis, is going to Disney World. Starting February 1, 2013. Disney made the announcement on Wednesday as part of a broader shuffling of management at its $12.9 billion parks and resorts division. Mr. Kalogridis, who has been running Disneyland Resort in California, will also be responsible for overseeing the construction of an “Avatar”-themed land in Orlando, estimated to cost $400 million, and implementing a sweeping technology upgrade anchored around a vacation management service called MyMagic+.
Kalogridis will leave his role as Disneyland’s president and assume that same role at the Walt Disney World Resort.
