Disneyland Resort welcomes a new president, Thomas Mazloum, tasked with overseeing the park's milestone 70th anniversary and guiding its ambitious 40-year expansion plan. Meanwhile, former Disneyland President Ken Potrock transitions to a new role focusing on major global events for Disney.

Disneyland has a new president who will oversee the park's 70th anniversary celebration starting in May and guide the Anaheim theme park as it begins work on a 40-year expansion plan under the recently-approved DisneylandForward initiative. Former Disney Cruise Line executive Thomas Mazloum was appointed the new Disneyland Resort President on Thursday, January 23 by Disney Parks chairman Josh D’Amaro.

Mazloum replaces former Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock who has been appointed to a newly created role overseeing major worldwide events for Disney. Both Mazloum and Potrock will begin their new roles immediately and continue to report to D’Amaro who heads the Disney Experiences division. Mazloum will oversee 36,000 employees who work at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and the three Disney hotels in Anaheim. As president of Disney Signature Experiences, Mazloum previously ran the Disney Cruise Line, Disney Vacation Club timeshare program, Adventures by Disney guided tours, Aulani Hotel in Hawaii, Disney Institute education program and Storyliving by Disney housing development. Before running Disney’s cruise business, Mazloum oversaw the Disney World hotels, Disney Springs outdoor shopping mall and bus transportation operations in Florida. Potrock guided Disneyland during the yearlong COVID-19 pandemic shutdown of the parks and the launch of the Avengers Campus themed land at Disney California Adventure. He shepherded the $1.9 billion DisneylandForward plan approved by the city of Anaheim that will reimagine what the theme park resort district will look like over the next four decades. In his new role, Potrock will help develop Disney’s plans for America’s 250th anniversary celebration in 2026 and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
