On March 9, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger spoke at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference. While speaking at the conference, Iger addressed a number of things, including Disney+, sports betting, and what his plans are for Disney’s multiple theme parks. He also spoke about the price of a trip to Disney, which has been a point of ...

The continued integration of Movie characters and stories into the Disney Theme Parks has been a topic of some debate among “Disney Adults,” with many seeing the lack of Park original rides and stories reminiscent of Disneyland glory days as a sign of creative laziness. But returning Disney CEO Bob Iger has made it clear he thinks otherwise. Speaking during ...

The Walt Disney World Resort and the Disneyland Resort are known to be prime spots for a magical Disney vacation. Any Theme Park and the attractions at these Disney Resorts—think Haunted Mansion at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park and Disneyland Park, shows like “Fantasmic!” at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a nighttime spectacular like Disney Enchantment, or lands like Pandora at Animal Kingdom ...

For months, The Walt Disney Company has been battling some of its Walt Disney World Resort Cast Members over wages paid at The Most Magical Place on Earth. Cast Members have been consistently asking for higher wages as inflation and the cost of living have continued to go up. Disney currently has a starting wage of $15 for most Walt ...

Temporary closures are part of life in any Disney Parks. Guests are used to occasionally dealing with these occurrences when rides malfunction or attractions close for safety checks (or in the case of longer closures, maintenance, or even rethemes).

Walt Disney Imagineers announced that they are bringing Pandora: The World of Avatar to the Disneyland Resort, but where the heck are they going to put it? Disneyland Park arguably has little to no room for any outward expansion. Its acreage is essentially boxed in with many “backstage” buildings like the Casting office providing crucial burn blocking to I-5 and ...

It seems that grownups continue to find ways to make magical Disney Park character experiences increasingly problematic, and I mean that beyond simply the not-so-unique variety of one-liners dished out by creepy dads while their little kids visit princesses. Tens of thousands of Guests visit a single Disney Theme Park each day, with lines to meet “face characters” like the ...

Critics have taken their shot at Disney once again. The Mouse House has recently come under fire for many of its decisions—be that the retheming of Splash Mountain or even their recent Women’s History Month celebration—and critics are taking note. While the reasons for this are highly debated, many have argued constantly that this “downfall” of Disney has come about ...

Another day another frustrated Disney fan. Criticism being levied at the Walt Disney Company, Walt Disney World Resort, and Disneyland Resort is certainly not new. Whether for bad Guest behavior, long wait times, frustration with the retheming of classic attractions (yes, we’re talking about Splash Mountain), or even with the recent criticism that was aimed their way because of their ...
