Senior Walt Disney executives led a rebellion against chief executive Bob Chapek in recent weeks. The covert campaign to overthrow Chapek began in the summer. “A lot of people were approaching the board, Iger loyalists who felt marginalised.” Disney executives began approaching the board a few...

News today (1/18/22): "The Walt Disney Company suffered in 2020, losing $2 billion in the third quarter. They broke even in the third quarter of 2021 and are expected to turn a $1.3 billion profit in the third quarter of 2022. Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World are expected to reach 2019...

I was fully planning on buying a self-driving car when it comes out, and this happens. How interesting.

Bob Chapek took over as Disney's CEO last year to replace Bob Iger. Before that, he was the head of the parks. Ever since Chapek came to power, he's made some excellent decisions: 1. He eliminated the Minnievans because they weren't profitable. 2. He closed down the NBA experience because it's...

Genie+ is, without doubt, and additional source of revenue for Disney. It will also reduce the number of people using the fastpass system (not everyone will be willing to pay for it), making the fastpass experience better (than free) for those who do pay. The drawback is that Genie+ can...

My son has been severely disabled since birth, but his disability isn't obvious. We've been going to WDW yearly for over 10 years now, and I've always made the fastpass work for us so that I never needed to ask Disney for their disability pass. It made me feel very proud of myself (that I...

An interesting article I read today about Disney Adults. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/michaelblackmon/disney-adults-are-having-a-magical-time-whether-you-like-it?utm_source=pocket-newtab

I just got back from a 3 week trip to WDW. We had an awesome time. We stayed at Caribbean Beach, Coronado Springs, Yacht Club, Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village, Dolphin, Hilton Bonnet Creek, and the Airport Hyatt. We skipped the parks, saved $3000 on park tickets, and used the money to...

I found this cool chart in my son's PE textbook.

I watch the Disney Channel and Disney XD every day. Every since Raya and the Last Dragon came out, there has been no commercials about it that I've seen, with the exception of a McDonald's ad promoting their happy meal toys featuring Raya, but that's all. It spends one second to announce "now...

Here's the old room: And here's the new room:

Most people argue about mask requirements in WDW, which is of course a very important subject. There is one point, however, that I haven't given much thought until recently: flying health requirements. Suppose the kids get a cough when it's time to fly. Kids get coughs all the time, and...

I am curious as to how many days people stay at WDW resorts in one trip, and what the highest number is. Here are the rules: 1. You can count split stays, like moving from All Stars to Pop to Contemp during the stay. 2. You can count days where you don't go to the parks, or even go to...

As my name implies, I am a big fan of Pop Century. Not the biggest, but big. But from now on, I have to stay at CBR instead, my second favorite Disney hotel, due to the unfortunate event called the Skyliner. I am old and decrepit and scared of the Skyliner, and now Pop has gotten rid of half of...

I adore Star Wars, but I've always thought that George Lucas's decision of connecting Luke with Darth Vader is a huge mistake in plot development. It was obviously not his intention in A New Hope, and somehow he just decided to force it in to create the conflict and redeem Vader, driving the...

There was once I was on a Disney bus going somewhere, and the bus driver said on the intercom, "What has 8 eyes, 8 arms and 8 legs?" As I pondered this impossible logistic question, he said, "8 pirates." For the rest of the trip, the people on the bus repeated the joke to each other.

If you haven't heard of Golden Oaks, it's this super expensive community next to Disney World, run by Disney, where houses are like 5 million dollars or more. It's very nice, of course, but most people, like me, can't afford it. Personally, I don't want it. I mean, I want to live in a nice home...

Many people on the internet sound upset that Disney is cancelling many shows such as Festival of the Lion King, but I believe we as fans of WDW need to support this and other layoffs, as well as any price increases, to help Disney survive. Disney is in quite a financial bind right now. They've...
