Matt, and particularly his wife, had made it no secret to friends and coworkers that they really miss central Florida and the better standard of living they enjoyed out there.
While Matt was said to have briefly considered the WDW scenario, he's been adamant with many in TDA that he is staying in Anaheim for the time being and that he is focused on the work he still has cut out for him here.
Matt is determined to see DCA succeed on its own, rather than just being the extra theme park next door where people go as a consolation prize when Disneyland gets too crowded or when they shut down the turnstiles for the day.

When Matt Ouimet took over TDA in late '03 both he and his global marketing guru Michael Mendenhall found that November opening date six months after the 50th kicked off to be unacceptable.
Matt sent Imagineering's (WDI) project managers back to the drawing board, quite literally, and told them they had to find ways to shave months off of the already tight construction schedule to get to an early July reopening date so it could be up and running for the official 50th summer.
Word is Matt Ouimet initially said no to the idea of holding the premiere at Disneyland again, as he had heard the horror stories the last event generated amongst visitors and employees alike.

 Al Lutz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For years, while Disney's Anaheim theme parks were led by then Parks and Resorts chairman Paul Pressler and Disneyland president Cynthia Harriss, Lutz complained about a perceived decline in park quality and customer value.
Some credit Lutz's focus on these issues for the new administration of Disneyland president Matt Ouimet, who has, in many Disney purists' minds, enacted a Disneyland renaissance.
Dissident Disney shareholder and son of company co-founder Roy O. Disney, Roy E. Disney latched onto Lutz's complaints in his bid to oust Eisner in 2003 to 2004, and his Save Disney website would often link to Lutz's column.

He does have a lot of money/business background that some may see as a signal that he is just another "money-guy" who wants to turn a profit, but what I see is that he doesn't just know how to "make" money, rather he knows how to "use" money, wisely.
If Matt can bring just a little bit of what he did with DCL to DL, all may be turning around at DL.

Ouimet publicly announced the cancellation of the Magic's next cruise and had a weeklong deep cleaning and disinfection performed on the big ship.
Ouimet arrived at the Disneyland Resort in the fall of 2003 at what one cast member called "the depths of the dark days of Disneyland." After more than a decade of benign neglect by a management team composed mostly of retail store merchandising executives, Disneyland looked every bit of its 48 years.
If Hill was optimistic about what the loss of Ouimet might mean to the resort, Disneyland cast members (CMs) were not nearly as upbeat in their assessment of things.

With even more executive shuffles expected at WDI now that Marty Sklar was "gracefully moved" out of the way, the fallout on the Parks could be dramatic for the rest of the decade.
Matt Ouimet is reportedly thrilled with this confluence of events, just as the 50th delivers financial performance even stronger than the originally optimistic Company projections thought possible.
Now that it's been proven that a market exists for multi-day visits to Anaheim by free-spending tourists that are always more profitable than day tripping locals or grazing Annual Passholders, Matt has plenty of ammunition to argue for even more substantial capital investment in the Anaheim property.

As for Matt, yes he has done a lot of positive things in the last couple of years, and wouldn't be named President of WDW be a promotion with a payraise, and another step up the ladder???
