Bruce Vaughn Leaves as Head of WDI, Bob Weiss Succeeds

[Parkscope Joe]

Late breaking Friday news, Bruce Vaughn is to leave WDI with Bob Weiss to succeed as the head of WDI. Bruce is best known as answering the question about The Wizarding World's quality compared to WDI's output "no one can touch us". Bob headed the original Disney-MGM Studios project, the DCA 2.0 make-over, and now Shanghai Disneyland.

In personal thinking,

wouldn't it be ironic that in some way, Bruce Vaughn transitions from WDI to UC? Just personally thinking, as it'd..be quite the interesting event if that happens, yes. Especially since Jason Surrell is at UC now.

Either way, I am extremely happy for WDI now, especially for a creative lead like him, I can't wait to see what he does with WDI.

Am I reading this correctly? This Bruce guy actually discounted the WW product? Puuuullleeeez!

Vaughn must have made some major blunders for this unanticipated happening. I'd think Tony Baxter has a big smile on his face right now.

This sounds very good for the future.

I agree. Every posting I ever read about Vaughn on the Disney oriented sites, dissed him. Looks like a real upgrade.
