During the 2026 D23 fan event in Anaheim, California, several individuals were honored as Disney Legends. Former CEO Bob Iger was recognized as the first executive to receive this distinction. The ceremony included tributes from industry figures such as Robert Downey Jr., who stated, “Fortune favors the brave,” and current CEO Josh D’Amaro. In addition to the award, Iger received a personalized window on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland. Dwayne Johnson was also named a Disney Legend, celebrating his contributions to films such as ‘Jungle Cruise’ and his voice work in the ‘Moana’ franchise. During the event, Johnson wore a luxury timepiece valued at approximately $3.3 million. Johnson was inducted alongside other notable figures, including Anne Hathaway, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the Jonas Brothers. Reflecting on the honor, Johnson emphasized that being a Disney Legend is about more than individual achievement, focusing instead on the importance of kindness and creating meaningful experiences for families. He also joked that the recognition means his family receives ‘free tickets to Disney for life.’
