Ever since Disney announced that Bob Iger would be taking over as CEO and Bob Chapek would be stepping down, a lot has happened. Bob Iger ©New York Post We’ve learned more about why this decision was made, what Iger’s first steps should be, what changes Iger could realistically make, and how Chapek’s exit is impacting the company. Now we’re learning more about Iger’s plans as CEO as he holds a Town Hall meeting for employees today. Iger has already commented on Park Pass Reservations, the rumored merge with Apple, and the previously announced hiring freeze, but one question turned his attention to the relocation of Disney employees. Lake Nona Town Center ©Lake Nona Back in 2021, Disney purchased land in the Lake Nona area of Orlando to build a campus that would relocate thousands of Disney employees to Central Florida. Disney announced that this plan was delayed as of June 2022 and we haven’t heard much about the situation since. Originally, Josh D’Amaro announced that this move would take place during the next 18 months starting in July of 2021, but the move has now been delayed for over 3 years. Obtained Via the Orlando Business Journal So what is happening with the move? According to Ashley Carter on Twitter, Iger is aware that the relocation was delayed, however he has not made a decision on it yet. Iger just stepped back into the shoes of CEO on November 20th with a few days notice, so it is likely we will see more big decisions made by him as he settles back into the role. Bob Iger will be CEO for the next two years of Disney, so if the delay is at least 3 years, he won’t be in charge when the move could happen. However, he could play a part in building the campus and creating preparations for the move, if Disney does go through with it. Stay tuned for more news regarding Iger’s comments and visions for the company.

The Walt Disney Company has been making some big changes lately. ©Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Images After the disappointing results reported during the Q4 earnings call, Disney announced on November 20th that CEO Bob Chapek would be stepping down, only to be replaced by former CEO Bob Iger. This left many with quite a few questions, including whether Iger would maintain changes previously introduced by Bob Chapek, such as a company hiring freeze. Now, we have some answers! When Bob Iger returned to his former role as Walt Disney Company CEO, there were many speculations about the future of the company. According to TheWrap, one Disney insider predicted that Iger could sell the company, and Apple was theorized as a potential future buyer, citing Iger’s past relationship with Steve Jobs. ©TheWrap According to Scott Gustin on Twitter, Bob Iger commented on the Apple rumor, calling it “nothing more than speculation” during a Town Hall meeting with Cast Members. Iger also said that the hiring freeze would remain in place and that it would be a “challenging time for everyone involved.” Bob Iger ©New York Post Bob Iger also spoke about the Theme Park Pass Reservation system, which requires guests to reserve a park for each date of a visit, in addition to buying tickets. Iger said that he had not yet used the system, and he wants to hear from Josh D’Amaro, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, before commenting about it. You still have to make Park Pass Reservations to get into the parks!

In case you missed it, there has been a major change in leadership at The Walt Disney Company recently — Bob Chapek has been replaced with Bob Iger as CEO of the company. ©Reuters || Bob Iger is back in charge at Disney. There has been a lot going on with the change, like why it happened, the changes that could potentially happen at Disney due to the former CEO’s return, and what Iger might do first. Now, Bob Iger is holding a Town Hall meeting for Cast Members, and he has made some comments about the current Theme Park Pass Reservation system at the Disney theme parks. According to Spectrum News 13’s Ashley Carter, Iger spoke about the Theme Park Pass Reservation system during the Town Hall and said he has not used it himself. He also said that he wants to hear from Josh D’amaro about the system before he makes any more comments. D’amaro is currently the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. The current Theme Park Pass Reservation system requires you to make a reservation for the park you want to visit on a specific day in addition to buying a ticket to the parks. This was originally introduced as a way to control capacity when the parks reopened after closing for the global pandemic. Hollywood Studios The system has remained in place, meaning that a park could get booked up for the day in advance, which we’ve seen happen regularly, especially on busy days like holidays.

There has been a lot going on for Disney in the past week. ©Reuters || Bob Iger is back in charge at Disney. On November 20th, Disney announced that Bob Iger was returning as CEO and Bob Chapek was stepping down from the role. Since then, we’ve looked at why this switch in CEOs was made, what changes that could come from Iger returning, and what Iger’s first steps should be. Now, Iger is holding a Town Hall meeting for Cast Members and we just got an update on the hiring freeze initially introduced by Bob Chapek. Earlier in November, Bob Chapek released details about a hiring freeze. In a memo sent out to division leaders, Chapek announced that Disney would “institute a targeted hiring freeze.” This came after disappointing results in the Q4 earnings call. ©Disney “We are limiting headcount additions through a targeted hiring freeze. Hiring for the small subset of the most critical, business-driving positions will continue, but all other roles are on hold,” Chapek said. Job cuts are also part of the change — Chapek said, “We do anticipate some staff reductions as part of this review.” ©Disney | Walt Disney Company Headquarters Now, according to CNBC, there is no plan to stop the previously announced hiring freeze. This comment came after Iger jumped into taking questions, including from the in-person audience and any submitted before the meeting.

Experience a seasonal sensation for all the senses at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort’s “A Disney Christmas!” View the full article

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and that means the holidays are right around the corner! Hollywood Studios If you’re planning a holiday trip to Disney World, be prepared for crowds, long waits, and a whole lot of festive fun. But, if you haven’t already booked those Park Pass Reservations you might want to do so soon, as availability is starting to fill up quickly around Christmas and New Year’s! Now is the time to book those holiday Park Pass Reservations if you haven’t already — things are starting to fill up! Let’s take a look at availability for Theme Park Ticket holders in December. Magic Kingdom is officially SOLD OUT for guests with regular theme park tickets on Christmas Day, and quite a few of the surrounding days only show some parks available. ©Disney As for now, New Year’s Day is still wide open for guests with theme park tickets. ©Disney For guests staying at Select Resort Hotels, the story is much of the same — at least for now. Christmas Day is sold out in Magic Kingdom, but there are still other parks available at the moment. The remainder of Christmas week is filling up with only some parks listed as available. ©Disney And here’s a look at park pass availability for Select Resort Hotels on New Year’s Day and the rest of January 2023! ©Disney Annual Passholders looking to head to Disney around the holidays should book park passes soon as well. There’s plenty of availability at the moment, but that will most likely change as we get closer to the holidays. Here’s what park pass availability looks like for Incredi-Pass Holders. ©Disney For Sorcerer Pass Holders, there’s availability but there are also blockout dates the week before and the week of Christmas. ©Disney Pirate Passholders also have blockout dates to worry about — from December 16th through January 1st! ©Disney And other than the normal weekend blockouts, Pixie Dust Passholders are also blocked out from December 16th through January 1st. ©Disney There’s also a chance that Disney could stop selling tickets for certain days around the holidays if demand becomes too high, so make sure you get your tickets as soon as possible and book your park pass reservations right away! Keep in mind that park pass availability is subject to change, but we’ll keep you updated! ©Disney If you don’t get the park pass reservation you were hoping for and have a Park Hopper Ticket, you can always make a reservation for another park and hop over after 2PM — just make sure you check to see if that park has reached capacity for the day yet.

Flying has been a bit complicated recently. Flying isn’t fun for everyone There were a ton of delays and cancelations of flights over the summer, and now, holiday travel is picking up bringing the crowds to the airports. But, a lot of airlines have been adding routes to places like Orlando. And now, another low-cost airline will offer MORE direct flights to Orlando! Avelo Air will offer two direct flights every day from Dayton International Airport in Ohio to Orlando International Airport beginning on January 13th, according to Orlando Business Journal. This is the carrier’s first service in Ohio. ©Orlando International Airport The new flights follow Avelo Airlines debuting a new base of operations in Orlando back in June, with plans to expand. Flights to Orlando on Avelo Air start at $29 for one-way tickets. The Orlando base for Avelo Air also has flights to Baltimore, Connecticut and Wilmington, North Carolina. ©Orlando International Airport “We welcome Avelo Airlines’ decision to choose the Dayton International Airport for its first route in Ohio, bringing a new air carrier to our state. Air service is critical for continued economic growth, and Avelo’s new, round-trip service to the Orlando International Airport will bolster the positive economic momentum we’re experiencing in the Dayton region,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Orlando International Airport Note that there is already a nonstop service to Orlando from Dayton International Airport, but it goes into Orlando Sanford International, not Orlando International Airport.

Disney Cruises are a way for you to travel, vacation, and experience some Disney magic all at the same time! Disney Magic Disney Cruise Line’s voyages can give you the opportunity to experience exclusive entertainment and dining, new attractions, special events, and more. Disney seems to always be working on something new when it comes to the cruise ships! In fact, 2023 will mark the 25th anniversary of Disney Cruise Line, and Disney is planning to celebrate in a special way. Do you know when the first Disney Cruise set sail? It was the Disney Magic in July of 1998! So, next summer will mark the 25th anniversary of the cruise line, and Disney will be celebrating with a “Silver Anniversary at Sea” festivities. There will be special entertainment, merchandise, and other experiences onboard all five of Disney Cruise Line’s ships. ©Disney Disney has shared four ways in particular that the celebrations will be happening. First, Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie will be getting NEW looks! These designs will feature swirls reminiscent of ocean waves, as well as multi-toned fabric in the signature color of the celebration, which is called Shimming Seas (it appears to be a turquoise color). There will also be a NEW signature song for the celebration that was created especially for the anniversary. Another way to celebrate is with themed food and drinks like desserts, craft cocktails, and more. ©Disney Finally, you can take a piece of the celebration home with you with the new Shimming Seas merchandise collection. This collection will feature that signature color we talked about earlier and is inspired “by the magical glow of sunshine reflecting upon turquoise waters.” The merch collection will have apparel, accessories, drinkware, and more. Disney Magic But, that’s not all! The anniversary will also bring in the brand-new membership tier for Disney’s Castaway Club. Members will now join the “Pearl” tier after they’ve been on 25 or more Disney Cruise Line vacations. The Cruise Line’s biggest fans will get new at-home and onboard benefits, which Disney will announce in early 2023. Castaway Cay You can book your cruise for the Silver Anniversary at Sea celebration right now over on Disney Cruise Line’s website! There are a bunch of itineraries to pick from, but Disney highlighted the following: Departing from Miami — May 24th to September 4th — Disney Magic will visit destinations in the Bahamas and Caribbean, including Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. Departing from Vancouver, Canada — May 15th to September 11th — Disney Wonder will depart on Alaskan voyages from with stops in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and more. In Europe — May 7th to September 17th — Disney Dream will sail transatlantic and European itineraries, including the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Greek Isles. Departing from Port Canaveral, Florida — May 6th to September 2nd — Disney Fantasy will set sail on the Eastern and Western Caribbean, each with a day at Castaway Cay.

It’s almost upon us — 2023 is coming FAST! Cinderella Castle And you better believe that it’s going to be a BIG year for Disney World. We’ve got new attractions opening, new restaurants getting added, and hotel refurbishments underway. There’s so much to look forward to! But first, we’ve got to count down to the new year…and if you’re celebrating New Year’s Eve in Disney World, here’s your full guide! Park Hours Let’s start out with those park hours! Disney’s Animal Kingdom will have business as usual, open from 8AM to 8PM. Hollywood Studios will be open from 8:30AM-midnight, while EPCOT has operating hours from 9AM-1AM. Magic Kingdom will also be open from 9AM-1AM. Magic Kingdom The parks that are open until midnight often have countdowns and special celebrations, but more on that in a minute! Entertainment On New Year’s Eve, most regular nighttime spectaculars will still happen in the parks, although their showtimes might be different than usual. Hollywood Studios will have Wonderful World of Animation at 9PM, as well as Fantasmic! at 8PM and 9:30PM. Fantasmic! At EPCOT, Harmonious will premiere at 6:30PM instead of the usual 9PM time slot. Magic Kingdom will not show Disney Enchantment on New Year’s Eve, but will have the Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks at both 6:30PM and 11:50PM, leading into a countdown for 2023. New Year’s Eve fireworks in Disney World Disney hasn’t announced entertainment specifics, but we’ve seen special countdowns at EPCOT and Hollywood Studios in the past, sometimes with additional fireworks shows. In 2021, EPCOT even had dance parties with DJs stationed around World Showcase in the evening. Silent DJ Dance Party 2021 If we get more details closer to time, then we’ll make sure to update you! Park Passes Keep in mind that it’s still required to have a Disney Park Pass reservation to enter any Disney World theme park. Right now, park passes are completely booked for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios, but there are still some available for Animal Kingdom. All parks are available for Annual Passholders, but that likely won’t last long! Holiday crowds in 2021 You may be able to park hop at 2PM if you have a Park Hopper ticket. So if Animal Kingdom is your only option for a park pass, you’re welcome to jump from there to one of the later-open parks, so long as there’s Park Hopping availability on that day. If you would like to check availability for Park Hopping day-of, make sure to call the hotline at (407) 560-5000. Merchandise We’ve already started to see 2023 merchandise in Disney World, but we’ve also spotted same-day New Year’s Eve merchandise in the past. Sometimes Disney will hand out freebies like hats, and you can also often buy special glow souvenirs like light-up glasses. Happy New Year! We’ll be on the lookout for any new merch as well as any commemorative souvenirs that are handed out on December 31st. Snacks Finally, we’ve got to talk about the snacks! Typically, there are limited-time New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day treats around the parks and resorts. The list often includes a few special cupcakes! 2022 New Year Cupcake A foodie guide for the holiday might be released a few days ahead of time, but if not, we’ll be on the lookout at quick service spots all around the parks and resorts. Can’t wait! New Year’s Float No matter what happens this year, we’ll make sure to keep you updated with the details as they’re announced! There are likely to be some BIG celebrations at the parks, and we’ll be there to share all of it. Hold up for a sec!

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, NO — it’s the Brightline high-speed train! Brightline train at Orlando Airport And, it’s coming to an airport near you — well, if you live near Orlando International Airport (MCO), that is. The new train route will take guests from MCO to stops throughout the city (and near Disney World!) and now, we’re one step closer to being able to climb aboard! The Brightline train coming to Orlando has completed an important milestone: full-speed testing of the new train route! According to the Orlando Business Journal, the company ran trains up to 79 mph earlier this month, but in Martin and St. Lucie counties the test speeds have reached 110 mph. ©Brightline This likely makes Brightline the fastest train to ever operate in the state. The expansion will bring high speed trains to more parts of Florida, including Tampa, and officials hope the Brightline service between Tampa and Orlando will help “reshape intercity travel dramatically between the two cities.” ©Brightline Currently, Brightline runs 17 trains per day between Miami and West Palm Beach, and the company plans on adding more stations throughout the state — though no plans have been confirmed. ©Brightline Catch the train testing in the video below: Looking for more Orlando planning tips and beyond?

EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays is happening right now! Cookie Stroll Completer Cookie There are so many dishes to try and performances to see that it can really feel overwhelming to some. That’s why we were at the festival on the first day to tell you everything you need to know. However, there’s a super cute decoration that’s extremely easy to miss if you don’t know what to look for, and trust us, you’ll want to see it! Over in the Germany Pavilion, there’s a tiny little town with little trains running through it that you can admire. Germany Pavilion Town This is usually a very quiet area with not a ton of people around, so it’s a great place to step away from the crowds for a moment. But during the Festival of the Holidays, if you look closer, you’ll find a special surprise… Tiny banners! …there are TINY Festival of the Holidays banners! This little German town is celebrating the festival too! We think it’s absolutely adorable. Germany Pavilion Even on a normal, non-festival day, this pavilion has some tasty snacks, but during the festival, we highly recommend grabbing the Linzer Cookie and Cheese Fondue from the Bavaria Booth!
