As of 2026, there are no members of the Disney family actively involved in the day-to-day management or board operations of The Walt Disney Company. The last family member to hold a significant active role was Roy E. Disney (Walt’s nephew), who served as a senior executive and board member until his resignation in 2003 and subsequent death in 2009. While Roy's children and Walt’s grandchildren—such as Abigail Disney—remain public figures and are often vocal about the company’s corporate direction, labor practices, and social impact, they do not hold official executive positions. The family maintains a legacy presence through the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, which is a separate non-profit entity. The company today is a publicly-traded conglomerate managed by a professional board of directors and executives, including the current CEO, with no "dynastic" control remaining.
