Angelica Costantini is taking over the role at Disney Destinations International (DDI) in the UK as of 2 January next year.
She will be responsible for Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line across Europe, the Middle East and Africa; Disneyland Paris for the UK and Irish markets; and the Walt Disney Travel Company International.

Welch announced he would “hang up his black ears” in August this year and will now “keep busy” on his boutique hotel venture Nos Da Hotel in Sri Lanka.
