Have you been exhausted by cast members referring to you as "friend," unable to say "sir" or "ma'am"? If so, don't thank the Phoenicians. Thank Bob Iger and a very strange moment in time in which Disney decided to go all-in on divisive language edicts at their parks!...
I’ve spent the last hour or so listening to some wonderful music from the past—not the Mozart kind of past, but the EPCOT past, and it made me think more than just warm, nostalgic, and happy thoughts of good times back in those yester-decades called the 1980’s which, I know, many of you were not blessed to be around in.
The latest Disneyland After Dark event, 90s Nite, was supposed to be a nostalgic celebration of one of the most beloved decades in pop culture. Instead, it became yet another example of Disney’s ongoing struggles with communication, organization, and guest satisfaction at these premium-priced after-hours events.
There’s a great hullaballoo going on about the Disney news that park admission prices may implement a “new” “Surge Pricing” formula designed to follow crowd patterns, making the cost of tickets go UP when demand is high (and, the implication—ONLY an implication with ZERO actual statement of this) and, go DOWN when demand is slack.
Shanghai Disneyland is once again making waves online as a video of a Buzz Lightyear performer collapsing has resurfaced and gone viral. The incident originally took place in January, but with the new footage making the rounds on X, it’s sparking fresh conversations about the park’s response time and the way its cast members handled the situation.
The Walt Disney Company hosted Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of President George W. Bush, at Epcot recently. It's yet another sign that Wall Street is pushing the Iger Corporation hard to make nice with the right side of the aisle. Since President Trump assumed the...
In the wake of mounting criticism over skyrocketing ticket prices, recent rumors state that Walt Disney World and Disneyland are considering a controversial shift in how they price theme park tickets—by adopting an airline-style, highly-variable ticket pricing model. According to sources cited by BlogMickey.com, Disney is exploring the idea of dynamic pricing that could cause ticket costs to fluctuate based on real-time demand, making a Disney vacation even more unpredictable and, for many families, even more expensive.
Disney has filed a Notice of Commencement for work at the Haunted Mansion in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, sparking speculation that the attraction may soon see changes similar to the controversial bride updates recently made at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion.
Disney has officially received approval from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to begin construction on a new Cars-themed land at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, a move that will erase classic attractions like Tom Sawyer Island and significantly alter the Rivers of America, Frontierland, and Liberty Square.
In a startling new low for Disney, the company put out a poll asking guests to predict when their loved ones might die.
According to a bombshell report from The Wall Street Journal, Disney sent a 47-page survey to Disney Vacation Club members this fall, loaded with invasive questions about their finances. But one question in particular stood out for its morbid audacity: Disney asked respondents how likely they were to experience the “loss of a family member or loved one” within the next five years—or to be “receiving/managing an inheritance.”
Disney has made sweeping changes to its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, stripping away controversial policies and language that previously landed the company in hot water. The Stories Matter website is gone, Reimagine Tomorrow has vanished, and the company’s executive performance metrics have shifted. While these moves may seem like a retreat from the “woke” policies that have plagued Disney in recent years, the reality is more complicated.
Disney is in damage control mode after The Wall Street Journal delivered a brutal takedown of its ever-increasing theme park prices. The report revealed growing internal concerns at Disney that the company’s relentless price hikes may be alienating the very families that once made Disney World “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the mounting issues plaguing Walt Disney World’s infrastructure. Hot on the heels of EPCOT’s sewage leaks and a ceiling collapse inside Soarin’ Around the World, Magic Kingdom suffered a widespread Disney power outage last night, shutting down more than 15 attractions across the park.
