How do you think the abundance of streaming platforms affects TV channels and broadcast networks?

In the past decade, we’ve really seen the streaming business take off, with everything from Netflix to HBO Max to Disney+. It seems like everybody has a streaming service nowadays! It’s challenging to know if this streaming surge has a direct effect on prime-time television, but now a major network is canceling some of its shows.
A new casting call has gone up for the Disney Treasure!

The Disney Treasure – the upcoming sixth ship in the ever-growing Disney Cruise Line fleet – is scheduled make its maiden voyage this December. The new ship is going to be chock-full of the kinds of amenities and experiences guests expect out the line, including a new Coco-themed rotational dining experience. Now, there is a Coco restaurant in Disneyland Paris (It’s called Casa de Coco – Restaurante de Familia.) but this is the first ever Coco restaurant on a Disney Cruise ship and the first ever Coco restaurant that will include CHARACTERS! Now, thanks to a casting call, we have a good idea of what characters will be involved.
A long-awaited feature is FINALLY at Galaxy’s Edge.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
When Disney first announced the massive Star Wars lands that would come to be known as Galaxy’s Edge, the company promised a slew of interactive features that would help the lands completely immerse visitors inside the Star Wars galaxy. Unfortunately, and much to fans dismay, many of them weren’t present when the lands first opened. However, slowly but surely some of these elements are being integrated into Galaxy’s Edge, including one we saw just this weekend.
Kids aren’t the only ones who have grown fond of a particular blue Blue Heeler.
@Boardwalk Times
As much as parents (and other adults) don’t particularly want to admit it, we’ve all grown rather fond of Bluey. The Australian TV show has become a staple in houses around the world, and we’ve all become quite attached. Just when we thought we couldn’t be emotionally shaken after the episode ‘The Sign,’ the creators hit us with a surprise episode!
Budget airlines certainly make a good case when we need to fly somewhere, whether that be to Disney World or elsewhere.
Flying on Frontier Airlines
The price is almost always right plus budget airlines are always offering great deals, sales, and discounts. But if you plan to travel on a budget airline, you might want to pack a little differently. That means you’ll want to make a list of handy items you might need when you fly. Well, don’t worry because we’ve got you covered!
After Disney struck gold with the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, we knew more ride-based movies HAD to be in the works.
Space Mountain
And sure enough, we got a Jungle Cruise movie in 2021 (that we thought was actually pretty entertaining). Then, of course, there was a second Haunted Mansion movie (which was…well, okay). Well, now, Disney has decided to take things even further with another ride-based movie, but this time, we’re scratching our heads as to how that ride will translate into a film.
Fortunately, accidents don’t happen often in Universal and Disney theme parks.
Universal Studios Hollywood
Theme parks typically have enough safety protocols in place to prevent incidents from occurring. However, they do happen from time to time. And the most recent one happened at Universal Studios Hollywood just last night.
We asked what Disney tips changed how people experienced the parks, and some of the answers surprised us.
Cinderella Castle
There’s A LOT to know about visiting Walt Disney World. So much in fact that even the most seasoned, veteran park-goers are still learning tips, tricks, and hacks that change their Disney trips for the better. We reached out to our Facebook community and asked “What life-changing Disney World tips have you discovered that made you say, “I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner!”?” These are some of the answers we got back.
Waits were LONGER across the board at Walt Disney World this week.
The Tree of Life
After last week saw wait times go down pretty much across the board at Walt Disney World, this week saw that trend unfortunately head in the opposite direction. Major attractions at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom saw increases in their average wait times, some as high as 10 MINUTES!
What would you do if you could meet Mary Poppins?
Mary Poppins Meet-and-Greet
Sure, we know, you’ve probably already met Mary Poppins in Disney World or you’ve seen her riding on the carousel in Disneyland. But what if you could talk to the REAL, original Mary Poppins, aka Julie Andrews, who starred in the Disney movie Mary Poppins? Would you lose your mind? Because that’s what happened to one celebrity when she got a surprise call from the Disney Legend herself.
