New Disneyland boss. Opinions?

I was curious, so I looked into what happened to Ed Grier. According to Theme Park Insider, "...under his watch, Disneyland has prospered the past three years, with Disneyland Park winning the Theme Park Insider Award as the world's best theme park in 2009 and 2008."

After Disney, Ed moved on to become the dean of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Business.

The Orange County Register profiled Disneyland Resort George Kalogridis in its "Around Disney" blog by writer Sarah Tully. Yes, the person pictured with him in the third photo down (at the link below) is myself, and Mr. Kalogridis seemed genuinely interested in talking to guests when I met him on opening day of Captain EO's return.

"New Disneyland Resort president gives inside look"

Disneyland Resort President George Kalogridis shares a laugh with Captain EO enthusiast Daniel Lew, from Oceanside, in front of Disneyland Feb. 23, 2010. Lew was the first person in line at the Anaheim theme park to stand in line for the re-release of the 1986 3D Michael Jackson flick. He arrived at 9:00 p.m. the night before.

Yeah, I saw that of Daniel picture in the Register, and said "Hey! I know that guy! Well, sort of."
