Initially when I saw this article I clicked on it to see what changes might be coming to Disney and its media / parks. Unfortunately as I read the article it seems like their wont be major changes with this new CEO due to the fact that he was an internal hire as opposed to external. An externally hired CEO would have most definitely lead to noticeable changes in the company and its assets. Due to the fact that an external hire would be bringing new mindsets, plans, and ideas with them. This isn't to say that I think that Disney needs a total revamp, but from reading the article it dose seem like there are changes that they would like to see happen. It is also interesting but it makes sense to hear that Disney's Parks are being hurt by practices of the Trump administration regarding immigration, and that this mentality is leading to a decrease in tourism.
