Disney is a business, and businesses find revenue. That is not a scandal, it is just how the thing works. Most of the time, that reality sits comfortably in the background. Nobody is shocked that a churro costs what it costs, or that Lightning Lane exists, or that there is a gift shop at the exit of every attraction. Guests ...

Bob Iger’s love of basketball has never been a secret, and Disney Springs is the proof. For a short while, guests walking through Disney Springs passed the NBA Experience, a two-story interactive attraction built around the sport. It had shooting challenges, a virtual draft, replica locker rooms, and a whole lot of branding. It was an unusual fit for a ...

Yesterday, we covered a heat advisory with a heat index reaching 110 degrees across the Orlando area, including Disney World and other theme parks. Today it is worse. That is the part worth sitting with before anything else. This is not a single bad afternoon that passes and gets forgotten. It is a pattern that has been building all week, ...

Crowds are the number one thing guests worry about before a Walt Disney World trip, and that worry has gotten worse. There used to be a reliable slow season. Late January. Early September.

At that point, everything came from a costume reference sheet that had been posted to the Hub, Disney’s internal cast member site, and circulated online. We had a preview image, two labeled looks, and ...

Some Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party traditions do not announce when they change. You just show up and find out. Powerline Max has been one of the most reliably beloved parts of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party since 2022. Max Goof, dressed as pop superstar Powerline from A Goofy Movie, appears with a crew of backup dancers in unapologetically 1990s outfits. It ...

There is a specific kind of disappointment that comes from getting on a ride expecting one thing and getting something else entirely. It happens more often than people realize at Walt Disney World, and most often during special events. You walk up to a favorite attraction, you get in line, you settle into the vehicle, and then the music is ...

For most of its history, Magic Kingdom did not serve alcohol at all. That was intentional, and it was Walt’s position.
