It’s looking increasingly likely that September 2025 will deliver the lightest Walt Disney World (WDW) crowds since the post-reopening doldrums of 2021. Several hard signals point the same way: multi-month wait-time trends, aggressive late-summer discounts, school calendars, hurricane-season risk, and new competition across town. Put together, they suggest a “Slowtember” that could rival any month since the pandemic period.
When Snoop Dogg spoke this week about Disney Pixar’s Lightyear, it put him directly in Hollywood’s crosshairs. After sharing his frustration with the film’s two moms subplot, the rap legend is now facing censorship, celebrity attacks, and even calls to cancel his upcoming live performances.
The story isn’t just about Snoop Dogg anymore—it’s about how Hollywood reacts when one of its own dares to question the Disney cultural agenda, and how Snoop himself may be shifting with the times.

When one of the biggest names in entertainment takes aim at Disney, people notice. That’s exactly what happened this week when Snoop Dogg, the rap legend and cultural icon, openly criticized the Disney Pixar film Lightyear for inserting a same-sex parent subplot into what was marketed as a children’s adventure.
The folks at Imagineering now have a story they’re telling, and we all know they loudly proclaim that it’s all about the story, right? This one’s a real doozy. They claim draining the Rivers (now swamps) Of America and removing as much Americana as they can from Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom is part of “reimagining” and helping guests discover and create “their own folklore.” (And the unstated subtext, as with all such pronouncements from Disney management in the past 10 years or so is—“…and if YOU disagree, you’re an ikky, yukky doodoohead, so there!”)
