Disney’s new CEO Josh D’Amaro has made it clear that the company is no longer viewing Fortnite as just a licensing deal — but something much bigger. In fact, Disney wants to treat Fortnite the same way it treats its theme parks.
That means long-term planning, recurring content, live events, seasonal updates, and an ecosystem designed to keep guests coming back again and again — just like a park experience. For The Walt Disney Company, this signals a major shift in how it thinks about digital worlds, IP engagement, and the future of entertainment.
In this video, we break down what D’Amaro has said, why Disney is applying its parks playbook to Fortnite, and whether this strategy can actually work. Is this a smart way to reach younger audiences and compete with Universal’s Nintendo dominance, or is Disney overestimating how much control it can have in a gaming space?
Disney treating Fortnite like a theme park might be the boldest move the company has made in years.
