After throwing his name into the ring for a position on Disney’s Board of Directors, Peltz initiated a proxy battle for the spot which ultimately ended before it began, with Peltz pulling out of the fight and declaring his support for Disney and CEO Bob Iger. But, with Disney stock prices at their lowest point in nearly 10 years, Peltz is back — and it sounds like he isn’t too happy.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
Happy Meal
Sure, it may be slightly ridiculous as fully grown adults to be this excited about a McDonald’s Happy Meal, but just like those golden, delicious french fries — nostalgia is a heck of a drug. And, if you’re anything like us, spooky season brings about an even stronger sense of nostalgia, which is why we’re thrilled that these absolute icons are returning SOON!

EPCOT’s newest attraction, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, has soft-opened ahead of its official opening date and of course, we had to check it out.

It’s caused a lot of uncertainty about the future of the company, causing investors to turn the pressure up on CEO Bob Iger and the board. Not only that, but Disney stock has seen its fair share of troubles over the past year, and now, it’s dropped to its lowest point since 2014.
