The Federal Communications Commission is asking a federal judge to throw out Disney and ABC’s lawsuit challenging the agency’s unusually early review of the broadcast licenses belonging to eight ABC-owned television stations. Disney and ABC sued the FCC in August,...
When families board a ferryboat at Walt Disney World, they’re supposed to be gliding toward the Magic Kingdom — not bracing for a disaster that sends dozens of guests flying. Yet that’s exactly what happened on the night of July 30, 2025, when the General Joe Potter ferryboat slammed into the dock at the Transportation and Ticket Center.
Labor Day at Walt Disney World, particularly in the Magic Kingdom, should be the grand finale of the summer season. It’s a day when Florida schools are closed, parents have time off, and families from up North take their last vacations before heading back to classrooms. Yet in 2025, what should have been a triumphant crowd surge instead looked more like the lockdown-era doldrums of 2020.
As of August 25, 2025 Spaceship Earth, the iconic “giant golfball” of EPCOT, closed down temporarily for a refurbishment. While all attractions at Walt Disney World need regular maintenance, there is a question as to whether this closure is simply for regular, ongoing maintenance, or will the attraction that has us “thanking the Phoenicians” be getting an upgrade or two?
The controversy surrounding the Snoop Dogg apology over his Disney Pixar Lightyear comments just took a bizarre new turn. What started as a blunt critique of Disney’s storytelling has spiraled into a cultural tug-of-war — and now, even Snoop’s own Instagram account is at the center of the storm.
The rappers reps have now claimed that despite originating on Snoop Dogg’s Instagram account and remaining up as of this writing, the apology was not written by Snoop himself.
Disney Jr. has revealed plans for a new preschool animated series titled Marvel’s Avengers: Mightiest Friends, scheduled to premiere in 2027. This show will feature child versions of well-known Marvel characters including Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Panther, Black Widow, and Thor.
For a brief moment, Snoop Dogg was the unlikely voice of dissent in Hollywood. His blunt reaction to Disney Pixar’s Lightyear—where he admitted being caught off guard by a two moms subplot while watching with his grandson—went viral and resonated with countless families who felt the same way. But after days of media outrage, celebrity condemnations, political pressure, and network panic, the rapper has now walked it back.
Disney has announced a major update to one of its most historic attractions — Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom with the controversial Walt Disney animatronic that has been making headlines in California.
As of late August 2025, the Rivers of America at Magic Kingdom has been completely drained, clearing the way for removal of the riverboat track and advancing construction of the new Piston Peak National Park land.
When Snoop Dogg called out Disney Pixar’s Lightyear for blindsiding families with a same-sex subplot, his comments went viral and sparked a wave of backlash. Now, the writer behind that controversial scene is stepping forward—not to soften the blow, but to double down.
Lauren Gunderson, who introduced the two moms subplot into Pixar’s 2022 film, is defending her creative choice as “beautiful” and says she is proud to have brought it into a children’s movie. Her remarks make clear that the divide between Hollywood creatives and everyday audiences is only widening.
Disneyland Abu Dhabi has been making global headlines ever since Bob Iger announced it as Disney’s first park in the Middle East alongside the Miral company. But behind the glittering promise of a new Disney destination lies a reality that many fans may find startling: this isn’t really Disney’s project.
According to a deeply reported piece by Caroline Reid at Forbes, Abu Dhabi’s Miral is firmly in the driver’s seat.
When Snoop Dogg spoke openly about Disney Pixar’s Lightyear, he likely didn’t expect the cancel culture backlash he received to reach this level. What began as a grandfather voicing discomfort over a two moms subplot in a children’s movie has now escalated into a full-blown cancel culture campaign. From calls to strip him of TV roles to celebrities publicly condemning him, the entertainment industry appears determined to punish Snoop Dogg for stepping out of line and cancel culture is the weapon of choice.
Walt Disney Imagineering has brought back Imagineer That!, a short-form educational video series originally produced for the Disney Channel.

The new series debuted on the official Walt Disney Imagineering YouTube channel on August 24, 2025.
