If there’s one thing we know, it’s that being a Disney fan ain’t cheap!

We’ve spent the big bucks on everything from vacations to Disney+ to merchandise to movie tickets in the past, and we’re probably not stopping anytime soon. But if you’re going to be a Disney fan in 2027, there’s one weirdly specific reason why you might be shelling out extra cash!
2023 wasn’t the best year at the box office for Disney.

Disney released over a dozen movies in 2023. Among those movies, you’ll find Elemental, Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3, and The Little Mermaid. Many people around the world watched and enjoyed the movies Disney released last year, but was it enough to become the highest-grossing movie studio in 2023? Let’s take a look at the box office numbers to find out! [Read more…]
Disney CEO Bob Iger has been making several changes at the company in the past year.

Iger took back his role as CEO toward the end of 2022 and has since restructured the company, readjusted the priorities, and even made some theme park changes. We’ve been waiting to see what changes Iger might make in the future, and based on problems at the box office in 2023, it looks like the film studios might be a target. Recently, Iger made comments about how movies aren’t performing because creators are focusing more on “messages” than “entertaining” — but is that really the problem?
Well, you can say that in 2023 a LOT has been going on with The Walt Disney Company and not all of it has been good.

We’ve seen incredibly long lines, shut-down rides, and unpredictable weather, and those are just some of the things at Disney World, not to mention the larger company. For instance, Disney has had some pretty major project flops this year when thinking about their movies and series. So, let’s go over what’s not been going right for Disney this year.
If you’ve been to the movie theater at ALL this year, then you know that 2023 has been a big year for the box office!
AMC Theaters
It seems like there have been a dozen different blockbuster films in the past several months…or at least, films that were likely intended to be blockbusters. But of all the major film releases in 2023, not every one of them has been successful. In fact, Disney has had some pretty major project flops this year.
There are a lot of popular movies in theaters right now, and new movies coming to theaters soon, not to mention new things added to Disney+ every month. Let’s just say now’s a good time to be a film buff — you’ve got a LOT of options.
AMC Theater
One of the most popular Disney films coming soon is Haunted Mansion, which premieres on July 28th! But did you know that an iconic (OLD) Pixar film is returning to theaters for a limited time?
Going to the movies is a summer activity many groups of friends and families enjoy.

The only problem is, movies are QUITE expensive these days, especially if you’re taking a big group. Plus, if you want to get snacks, you’ll be dishing out even more cash. But what if we told you there’s a much cheaper way to make some good memories at the theater this summer?
In the market for a new house? Things are looking pretty dismal on the housing market, but not as dismal as accidentally buying a haunted house!

That seems to be a problem for the lead characters in Disney’s new adaptation of The Haunted Mansion, which will be premiering on July 28th, 2023. We’ve had a few inside peeks at what we can expect from the film, but now we’ve got a first look at what one of the most iconic characters from the ride will look like!
We’ll admit, we’ve seen some…strange things when it comes to Disney.

We’ll even admit that WE do some odd things at Disney, but the parks are filled with strange, surprising, and unexpected things every day. If you search around on Disney+, you may find some movies or TV shows you never knew existed, but we think this new movie coming to the service soon takes the cake for the weirdest thing we’ve seen on Disney+ so far.
Disney has lots of new films coming out this year!

Late last year we found out what new 2023 theatrical release was most anticipated, but there are also new releases coming out every month on Disney+ (and we keep track of those too). If you’re looking forward to Pixar’s new film Elemental, there’s a new trailer that’s just been released!
