When Disney makes national headlines, it used to be for billion-dollar acquisitions or blockbuster box office numbers. But this time, the House of Mouse is under fire — not from competitors, not from politicians, but from every corner of its own fanbase. In a blistering piece for Forbes, journalist Caroline Reid lays out the full scope of Disney’s latest disaster: the planned demolition of the historic Rivers of America at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
For the first time since 2019, Walt Disney World will operate all six of its parks simultaneously this summer—including both water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) is throwing financial support behind a proposed train line connecting Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Disney Springs.

The new Haunted Mansion gift shop—Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond—is making waves in the news, though, once again, not positively.

It seems like Disney is once again turning its back on the families who built its empire in favor of the DINK (Dual Income No Kids) crowd and so-called Disney Adults. The latest evidence? EPCOT’s brand-new GEO-82 Spaceship Earth lounge, which is making headlines not for family-friendly offerings, but for being an exclusive, adults-only experience.
