The other day, I was watching a wonderful interview with Bob Gurr.

The Walt Disney Company released its fiscal third-quarter earnings for 2025 on August 6th, revealing impressive growth in its Experiences division, which encompasses theme parks, resorts, cruise lines, and consumer products.

In its fiscal third quarter 2025 earnings report, The Walt Disney Company has officially recognized the underwhelming performances of Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts and Pixar’s Elio as flops contributing factors to financial setbacks in its Content Sales/Licensing and Other segment.
War of the Worlds (2025), the latest and perhaps most baffling adaptation of H.G. Wells’ enduring sci-fi novel, is neither a revival nor an evolution. It’s a clinical, creatively bankrupt exercise in screen-life storytelling that somehow manages to insult not just its source material, but the intelligence of its audience as well. To call it a “mockery” would imply the film has enough self-awareness to be in on the joke. It doesn’t.

Walt Disney World has announced that The Beak and Barrel, a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed tavern is set to open in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland on August 29, 2025.
This isn’t just another themed eatery—it’s a dedicated pub emphasizing cocktails, beers, and wines, marking a significant escalation in the park’s long-evolving relationship with alcohol. Once envisioned by Walt Disney as a wholesome, booze-free haven for families, Disneyland and the subsequent Magic Kingdom park constructed after Walt passed away maintained a strict no-alcohol policy.
