These calls gave us a look at what the Walt Disney Company is focused on, what changes could be on the way, and to hear about Disney’s thoughts on the future. The latest earnings call was held on August 5th, and CEO Josh D’Amaro had lots to share. One thing that really stood out to us was the plans for the future of Disney+, because it was not what we expected!
Today is a BIG day for The Walt Disney Company. That’s because the company just released its second quarter 2026 earnings report and had its first earnings call with its new CEO, Josh D’Amaro.

During the earnings call, we learned some pretty important things about how the company is doing. We learned about theme park attendance, as well as how the company’s streaming is doing, how the company is doing financially, and more. D’Amaro also shared some important details on his goals for The Walt Disney Company in 2026. So let’s take a look at them!
Something new could be coming to the Disney universe, but it may not be what you think.

Disney Parks are currently seeing tons of construction projects — Villains Land, Piston Peak, the Avengers Campus expansion in Disney California Adventure, and so many more, but there’s another project potentially on the horizon that has nothing to do with physical construction projects. It could bring EVERYTHING Disney to one place, right at your fingertips — here’s what we know.
A major change has just hit the Walt Disney Company.

Bob Iger has served as Disney’s CEO for many years (about 15 years in his first term and about 3 years and 5 months during his second term). He has made major changes throughout his tenure, acquiring brands like Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox. He oversaw the opening of Shanghai Disney Resort, the release of movies like Frozen and Avengers: Endgame, and the launch of Disney+. But now, a new Disney CEO has officially taken over.
The Walt Disney Company is getting a new CEO, and both fans and Cast Members alike are obsessed with him.

Josh D’Amaro takes the mantle as CEO on March 18th, 2026, and he has big, Mickey Mouse yellow shoes to fill. There’s no doubt that the leader of the media giant will bear the expectations of millions of fans and Cast Members alike, but he has one thing going for him ahead of time — people seem to love him.
It’s a big day for The Walt Disney Company — a day that we’ve known would arrive for years, but it feels a little surreal we’re actually here!

Today, Bob Iger officially steps down as CEO (originally, his contract stated he’d be CEO through the end of 2026, but when his replacement was announced, it was also revealed he’d be stepping down early), and the new CEO takes his place. What does a leadership change this large really mean? Well, we’re about to find out!
Disney made plenty of waves in February, but one particular announcement was the size of a tsunami.

Despite being the year’s shortest month, February was not lacking in big Disney news. Whether it was theme park expansion progress or info regarding the returns of beloved offerings, Disney had us on the edge of our seats all month long. HOWEVER, one announcement was so big that even folks who don’t follow Disney closely took notice.
The year 2026 will be known as the year of big changes for The Walt Disney Company. In the parks, we’re seeing three of Disney World’s four parks getting new lands, rides, and expansions. Disneyland is also getting a new land, ride, and expansion.

However, the changes go much further than that. On February 3rd, Disney announced that its current chairman of Disney Experiences, Josh D’Amaro, would be stepping in as the company’s new CEO, and that change is happening VERY soon.
In case you missed it, Disney recently announced who would become the next CEO of the company! Chairman of Disney Experiences, Josh D’Amaro, is taking over the big job, and he isn’t holding back ahead of his takeover.
