Something peculiar is happening at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort when it comes to Easter celebrations. For whatever reason, the company has decided to offer only a Thumper-themed popcorn bucket inside the parks as the sole culinary offering for the holiday. That’s bizarre if you’ve ever paid attention to the huge number of food items often associated with any day of note. Disney typically loves adding seasonal and holiday food items at the parks since they drive news articles, publicity, attendance and more. But for Easter in 2025, there’s just Thumper with an Easter Egg in the parks.

Like when Photoshop changed photography forever, video is preparing for its paradigm shift into a completely new world.
Trigger warnings have increasingly become commonplace, often serving as tools to help audiences avoid distressing or unsettling content. Some view these as necessary, but the current political climate might be such that we could safely assume the majority of people are over being told what might “trigger” them in a movie. “Grow up and go watch Schindler’s List,” they could say. However, in the case of Disney’s recent adaptation of Snow White, the warnings provided to viewers have arguably crossed from helpful caution for the mentally fragile and into outright spoilers, detracting from the viewing experience by revealing critical plot points ahead of time.
As Disney continues its painstaking search for Bob Iger’s CEO successor, insiders Dana Walden and Josh D’Amaro have emerged as frontrunners—but serious questions remain about both candidates. Disney’s board, led by former Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, has indicated it may delay its final decision until at least early 2026, perhaps due to mounting internal concerns and an uninspiring pool of external talent.
Spring break season at Walt Disney World is historically known for substantial crowds, and 2025 will likely continue that tradition, albeit with some notable shifts compared to previous years. Tom Bricker over at Disney Tourist Blog has done a marvelous job...
