food IS a theme park

Iger’s return immediately impacted stock values (though we’ve since seen those drop a bit), and had some analysts cheering. We’ve already heard Iger comment on everything from gun violence to Park Passes since he stepped back into the CEO role, but he’ll face a heavy heap of challenges…and the clock is ticking.

Do you know about the important Genie+ change? The ticket price increases? And the Genie+ lawsuit? NO?! Well, it’s time to get caught up then! Join us as we go through the biggest Disney news from this past week.
Disney is no stranger to lawsuits, but things don’t always work out so well for the Mouse.

We’ve seen Disney get involved in lawsuits over COVID-19 allegations related to Disney Cruise Line, a property tax appraisal, and, most recently the Genie+ system. Many times Disney’s lawyers work diligently to get a positive outcome for the Company, as you might expect. But sometimes things don’t quite go how Disney would have hoped. That’s right folks, sometimes Disney has been sued and LOST.
Shhh. 🤫 Lean in close. We have an epic Disney restaurant secret to share with you.
So tasty!
If you’ve ever been to Disney World, you may have eaten at one of its buffet restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (where lunch and dinner usually serve up the same eats). You very well may have made a reservation for one meal or the other but wished you could try BOTH meals at once. Well, you might just be able to do it…if you know this special HACK.
Bob Iger, Disney’s returning CEO, has spoken out on a number of issues over the years and even just over the past few weeks.

From the Parental Rights in Education Bill (which critics called “Don’t Say Gay”) and the dissolution of Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District, to Park Pass reservations, and the move of Disney employees to Central Florida — Iger has made his views clear on some hot topics. And recently he spoke up again, this time about gun violence.
If you’re planning a Disney Cruise Line adventure, there’s an important change you need to be aware of.
Time to set sail!
Over the past several years, Disney has adjusted its COVID-19 testing and vaccination policies. At the moment, guests are not required to be vaccinated to board a Disney ship, and pre-cruise COVID-19 testing is not required for most sailings. But what if you do happen to test positive before your Disney Cruise Line sailing and want to cancel? Well, soon a bit of that policy will change.
With the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company on its way, lots of new things are coming.
Walt’s plane
We’ve seen details about when the anniversary celebrations will reach Disneyland and we’ve gotten a peek at new 100th Anniversary merchandise that’ll be online soon. But that doesn’t mean some older pieces of Disney history aren’t getting some love too. During the D23 Expo, we got to admire the restored outside of Walt Disney’s plane — the Mouse. And soon another part of The Mouse will be changing.
