Kevin Lansberry Retiring, New CFO for Disney Experiences
Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro today announced the appointment of Michael Moriarty as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Disney Experiences, succeeding Kevin Lansberry. Lansberry will be retiring in February 2026 after an extraordinary 39-year career with Disney that included a breadth of roles across Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts in Finance, Business Development, Alliances and Operations, as well as an interim role as CFO for The Walt Disney Company in 2023.
Moriarty brings nearly two decades of Disney leadership experience, including his time as former CFO at Walt Disney Imagineering and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, and finance leadership roles at Walt Disney World Resort. For the past five years, he has served as President and Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. Under Moriarty’s leadership, the resort expanded with the successful opening of World of Frozen — contributing to a record-breaking year in 2024 — and launched a year-long celebration of its 20th anniversary that is currently under way.
“Michael Moriarty brings a deep understanding of our long-term strategy to broaden the reach and impact of Disney Experiences,” said D’Amaro. “His global perspective and leadership will help guide us through an exciting chapter of growth, reaching new fans in new places and on new platforms.”
An announcement regarding Moriarty’s successor at Hong Kong Disneyland will be made at a later date.
