    News New Main Street, U.S.A Costumes for Cast Members at Magic Kingdom

    Anyone else think they look very cheap from this picture? I hope it's just the picture, but would not be surprised at all if they cheaped out as they have wasted so much money on other useless things.

    News Walt Disney World and other major Disney accounts stop posting on social media platform X

    They were losing billions per year before he bought it and they were about to go out of business. He has actually come close to returning them to profitability.

    News Walt Disney World casting for performers to play Asha from the upcoming animated musical 'Wish'

    Disney has lost money on almost every release in the last 2 years so I bet they are REALLY hoping it does well. The premise to me seems kind of dumb where the "villain" understands you can't grant everyone's wishes because it would destroy society, but this girl fights him so that everyone's...

    News Walt Disney World to eliminate self-service paper straws and plastic lids

    Well paper straws cost more than plastic straws. But ditching the lids and not having them out (making people ask for them) is indeed $ driven.

    News Walt Disney World to eliminate self-service paper straws and plastic lids

    Disney is purposely choosing to make the guest experience much worse due to a false premise that plastic from the US ends up in the ocean. It does not. Plastic from the US is not an issue at all.

    News Walt Disney World to eliminate self-service paper straws and plastic lids

    Plastic straws are not an issue as all of them are properly disposed of in the US. You need usually 3 paper straws to get through a single drink. Disney is actively making the guest experience worse for literally no reason.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    It really is a shame that Tom Staggs was too good at his job that he overshined Iger and then Iger forced him out. Now we have a Disney that is failing and constantly putting out trash products and movies.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Tim Cook will be 65 then, so I guess he could but unlikely he would want to

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    So no Tom Staggs.... Well I do not see Disney recovering anytime soon then, as Iger (and of course Chapek) is one of the major reasons why they are doing so poorly right now.

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Been to WDW 21 times, we were planning on going in the fall of 2024 to use our DVC points but Disney has done nothing to get us to want to come over the past few years. Trash movies, uninspired/ IP forced in and built on the cheap new rides, removing all perks for staying on property, and nickel...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    so they went from giant barges that were ugly and stuck out of the water too much, not something else that will be ugly and stick out of the water too much? It's almost as if everyone working at Disney is just totally incompetent now...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I think its a mixture of the economy not being great (lots of people have been laid off), and that a lot of people are fed up with Disney now because they have put out complete trash for products over the past few years. They lost $900M on the last 7 theatrical released and Indiana Jones and...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    We chose to cancel our 2024 trip because we are so fed up with the nickel and diming. The value of stating on property is totally gone now with no magical express and early fast pass window for hotel guests. Now it is better to just stay off property and instead spend the money you will save to...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    "Gifts" lol. Way to be propaganda for Disney. All they are doing is letting people go back to how it was 3 years ago, but only for a single month. This is not a "gift", this is laughing at how badly they treated their customers over the past few years.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Can someone explain how removing a already recorded and produced piece of media from Disney+ is a cost cutting measure? They own the rights to it, it costs them essentially nothing to keep it on the service.

    News Disney CFO Christine McCarthy says Disney will continue to focus on existing intellectual property for new park investments

    hmm so the are doubling down on the strategy that got them into this mess of falling attendance customer dissatisfaction. It's a bold move cotton.

    Orlando Becoming East Coast Headquarters for Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products

    Disney is struggling due to a huge drop in quality across the business. Everyone knows this is not the Disney of 15 years ago. The DeSantis thing is just a convenient excuse for a company that is struggling financially

    News Live-Action Ariel Meet and Greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    I think Disney has the problem that a lot of people are not liking their new content. How did Lightyear, Turning Red, and Strange World do for them? How about the Star Wars franchise or Phase 4 of Marvel? Things are not looking good because mostly the sorties stink and people do not like them...

    News Live-Action Ariel Meet and Greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    Because they are creatively bankrupt. They have for the last decade haired mostly on things other than merit, and it is showing in their results. No actual good storytellers are left. The people who got hired were hired to push an agenda, so the quality has gone way downhill.

    News Narcoossee's at Disney's Grand Floridian closing for extended refurbishment June 2022

    The chairs and finishes look pretty cheap, similar to a beach resort type of feel. It does not look like a fine dining experience to me at all. I have no problem paying premium prices for a premium experience, but from those pictures it looks like that is the type of place you would actually go...
