Who’s Who at the “Mouse House”? A Primer on the People Shaping Disney Parks (2022 Edition)

Being a Disney Parks fan isn’t always easy. On top of handling annual price hikes, disappearing perks, closing classics, reduced portion sizes, and merch resellers, following “Disney Parks” news can be… complicated! With retiring stars and new names coming in and out of the conversation every year, it can be hard to keep up with “Who’s Who” in the what’s what of the Mouse House.

We’re here to help! Today, we’ll take a look at several of the big name figures you’ve got to know if you stand a chance at understanding Disney Parks news… and the rumors, complaints, credit, and blame that’s always a part of the conversation…

While it’s impossible to profile every significant figure at the Walt Disney Company, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products division, or Walt Disney Imagineering, hopefully this guide adds a little context to the next big story or must-follow figure you hear about!

Stories in the Extra Features and Special Features collections of Park Lore are all about connections – they’re the threads that interlace between the Lost Legends, Declassified Disasters, Modern Marvels, and Possibilitylands you’ll find in our Main Collections. In other words, these features are for people who really want to dig deep.
