Announcing the appointment, Michael Colglazier, president and managing director, Asia Pacific, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, said: “This appointment comes at an exciting time as the resort gears up for the opening of ‘Ant Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle!’ in March 2019, followed by the addition of many more iconic attractions as part of the multi-year expansion plan.

Under his leadership, HKDL saw the opening of Disney Explorers Lodge, a 750-room hotel and the launch of Iron Man Experience (IMX).
