Not to stir anything up but it is semi-important to point out that you will need an epic games account to sign in.

Epic games is largely owned by Tencent.

Tencent is not exactly a trusted company. Google is your friend (For research on this)

This is a very poor move from Disney to do this.

It’s a TikTok world. People don’t care about whether they should trust the companies behind their online experiences.

Oh how I hate how true this is.

He is actually quite media trained and expressive. That was just after I shouted if he’d consider overlaying Everest with Frozen.

Once the handlers explained Everest was that nondescript India coaster he lit up. Birds flew overhead and the skies parted. I can’t share more because I’m now on payroll.

So we have you to blame when the Yeti starts singing Let it Go

This better be true, a lot of the rumours lately were that most the attention would be on Florida!

What's the point of watching a delayed stream when social media will let me know all the announcements in real time?

And at least that spares you the headache of listening to dull corporate speeches.

Baffling move though. What kid will be interested in watching a Disney Parks conference in Fortnite? They'd want to play the actual game!

Anyone actually interested most likely doesn't have Fortnite as a primary hobby.

One more thing. Disney's alliance with Epic seems odd, when you consider how they're basically blacklisted from Apple services post failed lawsuit. (You can't play Fortnite on iPhone no more)

Disney has a very strong relationship with Apple, and yet they're also playing Team Epic?

I wonder how they'll reconcile that? It's already having the awkward effect of limiting anyone on the Apple ecosystem from engaging with their digital event.

It's like a paradox.

As usual, Tony is going to be there:

That’s my boy!

I like how he's "confident." As if the president of DL doesn't know for sure if an announcement about DL might be pulled at the last second.
