The Walt Disney Company’s 2025 second-quarter earnings call is coming up, and we’re hoping to hear some major updates.

These earnings calls provide The Walt Disney Company the opportunity to share with shareholders — and other interested parties — the company’s economic outlook as well as some updates on future projects and projections. In the past, we’ve heard about Disney+ and theme park developments, and we feel like similar updates could be made when the call takes place on May 7th.

Disney Starlight Update

Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is an upcoming nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom that is set to open sometime this summer.

Inspired by the Main Street Electrical Parade, this new parade will be “using the latest technology to tell new stories about the characters you love.”

We’ll get to see special floats featuring characters from films such as Encanto, Frozen, Moana, The Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Coco, Wish, and Peter Pan.

We’re hoping Disney announces the actual opening date during the call, as it should be quickly approaching!

Box Office Projections

So far, 2025 has not been kind to the Disney box office numbers — its original bread and butter. Both Snow White and Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World turned in modest returns and didn’t live up to the media juggernaut’s expectations. However, that doesn’t mean things can’t turn around for Disney.

This summer could actually be MASSIVE for Disney’s box office. Marvel’s Thunderbolts* was just released and is getting great word-of mouth, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is another highly anticipated Marvel release that comes out on July 25th, Disney and Pixar’s Elio — which releases on June 20th — has the potential to be a big hit, and it’ll be SHOCKING if the live action Lilo & Stitch — which comes out on May 23rd — doesn’t get close to or break the billion dollar threshold.

Disney has every reason to be incredibly optimistic about its 2025 box office returns, and we expect them to touch on that point during the call.

Changes Coming to Tokyo Disney

Recently, the Oriental Land Company, owners of Tokyo Disney Resort, shared very early concept art of potential changes and expansions coming to the Resort. These changes include some overhauls at Adventureland and Westernland at Tokyo Disneyland, as well as updates coming to Port Discovery at Tokyo DisneySea.

Concept art indicated that the Jungle Cruise, Enchanted Tiki Room, the Swiss Family Treehouse, and the Western River Railroad would all be removed to make way for new experiences — a process that would take place through 20235.

It appears as though Paradise Falls from Up could be in the works as a new land, while Aquatopia over at Tokyo DisneySea might be saying goodbye for good.

While it might be wishful thinking for Disney to expand on these blue sky ideas at the earnings call, that won’t stop us from hoping for some sort of clarification.

You can follow the earnings call LIVE on May 7th, 2025, via an audio webcast at 8:30 AM ET / 5:30 AM PT. We’ll also provide complete coverage of the event that day and the days following, so stay tuned right here at DFB to stay in the know!
