I’ve posted some information about Chapek before, so let’s review some of that material.

Back in August of 2019, Al Lutz of micechat.com related information regarding Bob Chapek’s role in running Galaxy’s Edge.  A Disney influencer would later discuss that a bit more in that same month.  That’s right, the man who ran Galaxy’s Edge is now in charge of Disney.

Before Chapek was tapped to run parks and resorts in 2015, he ran the Consumer Products Division since 2011.

Now comes this tidbit from purported Disney insider, WDW Pro:
