Disney’s long-awaited Tron: Ares has officially crashed on entry to the weekend box office. Despite heavy promotion and years of anticipation, the sci-fi sequel opened to just $33.5 million domestically and $60.5 million worldwide, according to AP News and Entertainment Weekly. For a film carrying a reported $180 million budget (which some outlets claims actually reached heights of over $200 million), those are alarming numbers.
Tron: Ares is not a good movie. We should start This Tron: Ares review honestly, and if that’s all you needed to know, read no more, friends. But if you’d like to understand just what a stinker Disney has shoveled out upon theaters this fall, continue on and I’ll explain.
A guest has died after experiencing a medical emergency while riding The Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland. The incident occurred Monday evening, October 6th, and marks a rare tragedy on one of the park’s most beloved and long-running rides.
On October 8, 2025, Walt Disney World announced a record-setting price increase for its “skip-the-line” service, Lightning Lane.
While price hikes are nothing new at Disney—especially at the start of the company’s fiscal year—this round of increases comes at a time when attendance across the Florida parks has dropped to some of the lowest levels in years.
The new pricing takes effect on October 29, 2025, raising costs by up to $6 per person per park for Lightning Lane Multi Passes, and between $1 and $3 per person for Single Pass selections. Notably, last year the New Lightning Lane system replaced “Genie+”, which in 2021 replaced the pre-lockdown FastPass+, a complimentary perk included with every ticket and annual pass.

For most visitors, staying inside Disney’s Cinderella Castle is more fantasy than reality. Yet under certain conditions the exclusive Cinderella Castle Suite — located within the walls of Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World — can become accessible. In recent years, sweepstakes and charitable campaigns have offered a small number of people the chance to stay there.
“Don’t call it a comeback…” because it isn’t one. Ratings for Jimmy Kimmel Live! have absolutely cratered since the controversial partisan host’s returned to the Disney-owned ABC late-night lineup.
Freedom of speech is supposed to be universal — especially in entertainment, where pushing boundaries and exploring ideas used to be the very purpose of art. But in Hollywood, any number of canceled celebrities will tell you that free expression is conditional.
For decades, Disney was the rare American brand that managed to transcend politics and maintain high favorability. Families from both sides of the aisle flocked to its parks, its films, and its streaming service without a second thought. But that era appears to be over.
A new analysis from Jefferies, based on Morning Consult polling, shows that Disney’s favorability has collapsed among both Democrats and Republicans, marking one of the sharpest declines in the company’s modern history. The catalyst? The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after false and inflammatory remarks made by Kimmel in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
