Josh Damaro travel tips

What was arguably the most shocking announcement of the night at the Walt Disney Company's D23 fan event last night in Anaheim, California, wasn't about a theme park (although there were tons of those, too).

It's been four years since Disney first announced Splash Mountain would close at Disneyland and Walt Disney World to remove the culturally insensitive theming and make way for a new, more modern, more inclusive story.

Gaston. Cruella de Ville. Captain Hook. Maleficent. Scar. The Evil Queen. The list goes on.

Massive expansion plans have been announced for Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World.

Disney Cruise Line has announced the expansion of its fleet with four new ships that will launch between 2027 and 2031.

On Saturday evening at the Disney Experiences Showcase during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D'Amaro revealed dozens of new lands, attractions and experiences coming to Disney parks across the globe.

Disney Cruise Line plans to add four new ships in the coming years, bringing its total fleet size to 13.

It may not be a small world after all.

Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D'Amaro unveiled ambitious plans for Walt Disney World, including new attractions and in-park destinations.

Every two years, droves of Disney fans descend on Anaheim, California, but not solely to visit Disneyland. They come together to celebrate their shared love of all things Disney with exclusive experiences, behind-the-scenes panels, shopping, cosplaying and so much more at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event that takes place once every two years.

When Disney announced last year that it planned to spend $60 billion over the next decade to expand its theme park and cruise businesses, double the amount spent over the previous decade, the company’s stock price instantly dropped.

In Disney’s seemingly never-ending game of corporate Whac-a-Mole, a new trouble spot has arisen: Americans — battered by years of high inflation — have less money to spend on amusement, imperiling growth at Disney theme parks.

Disney Cruise Line will launch a new ship in Japan in early 2029, bringing the total number of ships in its fleet to nine.

It's a great time to be a Disney fan. Last September, during an investor summit in Orlando, Disney announced plans to "accelerate and expand investment" in its theme parks, cruise line and other vacation experiences — to the tune of $60 billion over the next decade.

Walt Disney said on Tuesday it would nearly double its capital expenditure for its parks business to about $60 billion over the next 10 years. Disney CEO Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro, the company’s parks chief, announced the accelerated pace of investment at a gathering of Wall Street analysts and investors at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, focused on the company’s parks business.

The Walt Disney Company on Sunday announced that Bob Iger is returning to lead Disney as CEO, effective immediately. Iger succeeds Bob Chapek, who, the company said, has stepped down from his position.

Josh D’Amaro, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman, could become the next CEO of The Walt Disney Company.

A shortlist of potential executives to succeed Disney CEO Bob Iger has surfaced, bringing a few surprises to the search for his replacement.

Disney Parks, Experiences and Products will be a key growth driver for the Walt Disney Corporation, as it approaches its target of cutting $5.5 billion in costs across the company, said CEO and Director Bob Iger during an earnings call Wednesday. 

Walt Disney Corporation on Monday dismissed the idea of building miniparks in the U.S., saying the media company would instead spend on its major theme parks and cruise ships.

Shanghai was a key driver to the Walt Disney’s theme park division’s strong growth in the third quarter, executives said in an earnings call Wednesday. The park’s drop of Covid restrictions and closures gave its income a boost. In last year’s third quarter, it was open for only 3 days due to Covid restrictions – this year, for the full three months.
