According to the Orlando Sentinel, Disney's Animal Kingdom Vice President Val Bunting is moving to head Disney's Port Orleans Resort to satisfy an itch to be more involved in the, now increasingly profitable, resort business. No one was rushing to take the job back in 2001/2002 when occupancy was low of course.

To take her place Kevin Lansberry has today been announced as the new Vice President of Animal Kingdom. Kevin Lansberry was previously VP of Downtown Disney and Transportation and will continue to overseas transportation in his new role at Animal Kingdom.
