Disney Just Quietly Added Something New to Historic Street
There is a new window on Main Street, U.S.A., at Magic Kingdom, and most Disney guests who walked past it this morning had no idea they were looking at one of the most exclusive honors the company gives out.
This morning, April 10, they held a window ceremony at Magic Kingdom to honor Kevin Lansberry, who retired in February 2026 after a 39-year career with the company. Sources say both Josh D’Amaro, CEO of Disney Experiences, and Jeff Vahle, President of Walt Disney World, were in attendance, along with Lansberry himself.
The window is already up on the blue facade of Main Street, U.S.A. Bakery in the top center row, and it reads Main Street Trust and Loan, Kevin Lansberry, Director, Care Compassion Commitment, Investing in Making Dreams Come True.
Why This Honor Matters
Main Street, U.S.A., windows are not handed out routinely. According to former Disney Imagineering head Marty Sklar, the honor has three strict requirements. It is only given on retirement. Only for the highest level of service, respect, and achievement. And only with the agreement of the top individual park management and Walt Disney Imagineering, which creates the design and copy concepts.
Those requirements exist to ensure the honor means something, and the career behind Lansberry’s window meets every one of them.
The Disney Career That Earned It
Kevin Lansberry spent 39 years with the company across an extraordinary range of roles on both coasts. His positions included VP of Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World, VP of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Senior VP of Worldwide Travel Operations, SVP of Revenue Management and Analytics for Disney Parks, and Executive VP and CFO of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, which later expanded to include Consumer Products.

In 2023 following Christine McCarthy’s departure Lansberry served as interim CFO of The Walt Disney Company itself. That role alone reflects the level of trust the organization placed in him during a critical transitional moment at the parent company level.
What the Disney Window Says About Him
The fictional business framing of Main Street Trust and Loan reflects Lansberry’s financial leadership background across Disney Parks and the company. The language around care, compassion, and commitment captures the values sources say defined his approach across nearly four decades. Investing in making dreams come true ties his financial career directly to the company’s mission in language that feels specific rather than generic.
The recipient also receives a personal copy of the window display as part of the ceremony.
Lillian Disney received a Main Street window last year. The tradition is maintained deliberately and selectively, and Kevin Lansberry’s name now belongs to it permanently.
