But now, D’Amaro says that he sees Disney Plus becoming “the primary relationship between Disney and its fans.” The general idea that D’Amaro put forth during his call with investors this week is that Disney Plus and Disney’s parks are both places that people visit to spend money while engaging with the company’s characters and worlds. D’Amaro framed the streaming service and the parks as complementary parts of Disney’s larger brand that, together, could create “a more connected fan experience” where Disney uses “technology as an accelerant.”
