Disney names Dream CMO winner

Disney selected the first-ever Chief Magic Official to serve as a goodwill ambassador at its theme parks in Florida and California for a year: Justin Muchoney of Pennsylvania.

Muchoney won the Dream Job CMO title today after a head-to-head reality show-style competition at Walt Disney World.

Muchoney brought a crazy energy and effusive personality to the initial online contest with a video résumé that included screwball Snoop Dogg vocabulary — “adventurosity,” “extrovertaneous” and “obsessidisivation” — that made me fashizzle my izzle off.

I picked Muchoney to win it all in the finals and promised him an In-N-Out Burger should he emerge victorious. It’s a debt I’ll gladly pay. And I’ll happily treat runners-up Tripp West of Georgia and David Hawley of Roseville, California, to a double-double animal-style the next time they visit Disneyland.
