food IS a theme park
Some days are probably not the best days to be in Disney World and others are ideal for booking a trip as fast as you can to visit one or more of the parks.
EPCOT
It can often feel intimidating to visit Disney World when a new attraction opens. That being said, it doesn’t always have to be scary. Sometimes you’ll be surprised how run-of-the-mill a park day can be even on an opening day. In fact, we have a specific date in mind when we suggest taking a visit to one of the Disney World parks!
Disney is synonymous with classic animated films, family fun at theme parks, and soon enough — gambling.

Earlier this year, Disney-owned ESPN announced a partnership with Penn Entertainment to launch ESPN BET — a “branded sportsbook for fans in the United States.” Ultimately, as the ESPN press release noted, “The ESPN BET brand will be home to ESPN’s sports betting content across platforms.” And, now we know exactly when it will be rolled out!
November 11th is the day we honor all U.S. military members and veterans.
Shades of Green Mickey Statue in Lobby
All throughout the month of November you can find great deals, discounts, and special offerings for those who have served. Disney offers several discounts for veterans all year round and of course, you can take advantage of all the discounted meals on Veteran’s Day. Now, another VERY popular retailer is offering a military discount.
Things within The Walt Disney Company are changing. We’ve seen some major executive leadership changes over the past few months, big announcements about Disney’s plans for the future, and some small but important financial changes ahead of the fourth-quarter earnings call.

Back in August, we saw Disney’s stock prices drop lower than we’ve seen them in about nine years, and at the Q3 earnings call for fiscal 2023, we learned that Disney’s revenue wasn’t as high as many hoped. But Disney keeps moving forward. Earlier this year, there was a lot of speculation over Disney’s plans to acquire more stake in Hulu. The company already owns about two-thirds of Hulu, and Comcast owns the other third. Fast-forward to September, and Comcast and Disney signed an agreement to begin sale talks for Comcast’s stake in Hulu early, deciding to begin negotiations on September 30th, 2023. Well, as of November 1st, 2023, it seems the two companies reached an agreement.

If there are two things that The Walt Disney Company has become known for, we’d argue that Mickey Mouse and trains are pretty high up on the list. After all, trains were Walt Disney’s passion, and it all started with a Mouse, right?
Happy 100th Anniversary, Disney!
