Here is the announcement that Jeff made on LinkedIn:
Today, I shared with our team that after 36 years with Disney, I’ll be retiring this summer.
I started my career as an engineer at Magic Kingdom and I’m wrapping it up with the best job ever, leading Walt Disney World into a period of remarkable growth in partnership with our incredible Cast Members and community.
I’ll be here through late July, so I’ll save the reminiscing for later. In the meantime, there’s a lot ahead, from launching Cool KIDS’ Summer to opening Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets and an updated Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
It’s an exciting time at Walt Disney World, and I’m looking forward to being part of it in the months ahead.
Although Jeff Vahle will remain in his role through late July, his announcement marks the beginning of the end of a remarkable chapter in Disney history. Before he officially retires, he will still oversee several major milestones, including the launch of Cool KIDS’ Summer, the opening of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, and updates to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. We want to thank Jeff for his decades of dedication, leadership, and passion for Disney, and we wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement. Stay tuned to The Main Street Mouse for more updates on this developing story and everything happening at Walt Disney World.
