Disney’s Top IT Executive leaves for Microsoft, Stage 9 Production Postponed and Hanna Montana Movie Tickets are Hard to Get

Tony Scott has been tapped by Microsoft for their CIO (Chief Information Officer). Scott was the first CIO at Disney and now will be managing 4000 employees and will oversee systems that support world wide sales for Microsoft.

Stage 9, a Disney production unit charged with developing programming for an online series, has stopped work. Speculation for this change generally points toward Disney not wanting up upset the unions during the writers strike.

Tickets for the The Hannah Montana Movie which opens February 1 and will only run for one week are tough to get. Fandango, an online ticket company, has been selling out shows so quickly that movie theaters are having to add additional showings. Many parents are getting tickets for kids that were disappointed when they were unable to get concert tickets for the Best of Both Worlds Concert.
