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.Â

Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser was unlike anything Disney had tried before.

Although it was, technically, part hotel — the majority of the two-night stay on the Halcyon was an interactive adventure where you could basically live out your own Star Wars story. However, Disney recently shuttered the experience, but believe it or not, if you couldn’t afford its hefty price tag, you can still get merchandise that was available there.
Today is the day! We get to meet a new character at EPCOT.
EPCOT
It has been an exciting time at EPCOT this year. We have added some friendly faces that you can see around the park. For example, Mickey and Minnie have been meeting in their Disney100 costumes.
