Actually, yes. CEO Toshio Kagami retired in 2023. He had been CEO since 2005 and had been with OLC since the '70s, before TDL even started construction (I believe he is still Chairman).Has there been a change in OLC leadership recently?
No idea if those things are related though.
On the topic of TWDC pressure, rumors are that Disney is cranking up the pressure on OLC to retheme Splash Mountain lately.
