Tony Baxter

[ladykatie]

Disneyland Live and Mouseplanet are both reporting via Twitter that Tony Baxter is retiring, effective tomorrow! The sources are good but i havent seen any official announcement from Disney yet so it could just be a rumor. I hope

[mratigan]

i can see this true as that he got a little tribute in the MK as a retirement gift

[HMF]

The moment Tom Fitzgerald was put in charge of the DLR Portfolio, one could see this coming.

There is supposed to be a press release about this tomorrow... apparently he's not retiring per se. Perhaps moving to a new position within the organization?

[TCadillac]

I can see Kalogridis bringing Tony Baxter with him to WDW. Makes sense

[jasmineray]

He's not completely leaving. His job is just changing a bit, I believe.

[flynnibus]

Retiring and moving onto consulting... Including with Disney

Hahahaha

"Retired, effective immediately."

Hahahaha, oh yes, that sounds like a retirement to me.

I'd suggest waiting for tomorrow's press release as from what I've been told, "retirement" isn't exactly a correct term for what is happening and there is the potential for good things to come from whatever happens.

I like the sound of that. MK project maybe? Or, this is just a pipeline dream, JII overhaul?

[almandot]

Maybe taking the good ole "consulting" position marty sklar had for a while.

[Wally]

Whoa. For good or ill, this sounds like big changes are imminent

[Pizzapants]

Do Tony and Tom not get along?

Do Tony and Tom not get along?

Not at all, they're the "Dueling Divas of Glendale."

"Retirement" is not the full story. Wait for the press release; all will be made clear.

[Pizzapants]

But they both seem so nice on those Travel Channel specials..
