food IS a theme park
The airline industry has been through quite a few challenges over the past few years.
Do you fly to Disney World?
If you’ve flown anytime between 2020 and 2022, you may have experienced delays, cancelations, high prices, and more, and we’ve talked about how the industry has been suffering from staffing issues and high jet fuel costs. Now experts are predicting a rebound for the airline industry in 2023, and here’s what they’re saying.
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.
Are you planning to fly soon? Then you’ll need to know about a major change that’s been DELAYED.
Orlando International Airport
The U.S. passed the Real ID Act in 2005 in order to increase security for travel. The act requires people to update their driver’s licenses or other identification cards before they will be allowed to board a plane. The deadline for obtaining a Real ID has been delayed several times, with the most recent deadline being May 2023. Now, however, that date has been pushed back once again. [Read more…]
At the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions convention held last month in Orlando, about 30,000 industry leaders gathered to discuss the latest trends in food, festivals, and rides. And then, there was a session with the title: “Is Cash Dead?”

We’ve taken a look at how Iger’s return has impacted stock values, organizational changes that are set to take place now that Iger is back, and whether Iger will reverse some of Chapek’s biggest decisions. But Iger’s return seems to also be having an impact when it comes to some executives.
