Disneyland Abu Dhabi Will Be Mostly Indoors to Battle the Heat of the Desert

When Disney announced its plans to construct a brand-new theme park in Abu Dhabi, heads turned around the world—and not just because of the surprise location. While speculation continues to swirl about what Disney might bring to Yas Island, one question loomed larger than all the rest: how exactly do you build a Disneyland in one of the hottest places on Earth?

Thanks to Miral Group CEO Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, we now have at least one clear answer—you take it indoors.

Elio Budget Reportedly Skyrockets Toward $300 Million as Pixar Scrambles to Finish Troubled Production

Pixar’s next big release, Elio, is shaping up to be one of the most expensive animated films ever made—with sources now estimating its production cost at nearly $300 million before marketing. That eye-watering figure puts the Elio budget in the same cost bracket as major live-action blockbusters, and far beyond what’s typical for an animated feature—even by Pixar standards.

Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebration is already off to a strange start after a new silhouette installed in the Esplanade suddenly vanished with no public explanation from Disney.

Thunderbolts Sees Average Second Weekend Drop After Lackluster Opening Weekend — Far Better Than The Marvels, Brave New World

After a lackluster debut, Thunderbolts is showing some staying power in its second weekend drop at the box office — at least by recent Marvel standards.

Marvel Studios’ latest team-up flick pulled in $33.1 million domestically this weekend, bringing its 10-day North American total to $128.5 million and a global tally of $272.2 million. That’s not blockbuster-tier success for the once-dominant Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the drop from its opening weekend offers a glimmer of hope for a studio in desperate need of it.

OPINION: EPCOT Is No Longer a Family Theme Park — It’s Been Taken Over by Rowdy Entitled Adults

There’s a video making the rounds on TikTok right now that perfectly captures everything wrong with what EPCOT has become. Nine full-grown adults, drinks in hand, shouting the Star-Spangled Banner in front of the American Adventure pavilion as though they were frat boys on a bender—culminating in one of them leaping into the decorative fountain and sloshing around like it’s a Vegas pool party.

Disney’s Snow White Just Flopped Again in Theaters for Baffling Re-Release — This Time It’s Even Worse for Rachel Zegler Disaster

Disney’s baffling decision to re-release its live-action Snow White remake this past weekend has resulted in one of the most humiliating flops the studio has ever experienced — and that’s saying something in the post-Wish era.

Initially intended as a crowd-puller for Mother’s Day weekend, Snow White was dropped into over 1,300 theaters across the United States. The result? A pathetic haul of just over $200k, averaging just $50 per theater.

The Magic Kingdom is getting a new lounge—a Pirates Bar. Disney is calling it a “unique new experience” for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Disneyland Resort is Quietly Fixing the Infamous Curved Eiffel Tower Scene in Soarin’ at Disney California Adventure

Years of ridicule over the warped Paris scene has finally led to a fix as Disney Imagineering will update the Eiffel Tower in Soarin’ Around the World at Disney California Adventure. 

For years, one of Disneyland’s most talked-about visual oddities hasn’t come from a mischievous animatronic or a breakdown on Rise of the Resistance—it’s been the Eiffel Tower itself. The iconic Parisian landmark, featured in Soarin’ Around the World, has long appeared unnaturally curved when viewed from the sides of the theater. Now, Disney has finally decided to straighten things out—literally.
