More Parks and Resorts Executive Shuffling to Give More Attention to Next Gen Project

The Orlando Sentinel:
Doug McGuire has been promoted to senior vice president in charge of global development, which is currently at work on plans for a new Disney theme park in Shanghai, China. McGuire had been senior vice president of global marketing operations.
McGuire succeeds Parks and Resorts executive vice president Nick Franklin, freeing Franklin up to focus more of his attention on Disney’s closely guarded “Next Generation Experience” project. 
They really are putting a lot of eggs into the "Next Gen" basket.
