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?

Cinderella Castle
And while we love seeing them hard at work in the parks, narrating the candlelight processional, filming holiday specials, or in concert, we especially love catching them having a little FUN. We love seeing celebrities on vacation with their family and having a classic vacation experience at Disney World. We mean no work, ALL play.

However, there is a lot of potential for change within the world of streaming ads, and Disney is now toying around with some new ideas that could change how you see ads on Disney+.
When it comes to great dining in Disney World, Disney Springs is THE place to go.
Chicken Guy!
Whether you’re looking for an upscale wine bar experience or want some delicious BBQ, there’s a little something for everyone. Sometimes, we find ourselves just wanting to hit up the fast-casual Chicken Guy! restaurant, mostly because we love that there’s a HUGE selection of sauces. Well, there used to be, anyway.

Iger recently commented on Disney’s “woke agenda,” causing some stir in the news. He also recently confirmed his 2026 exit from the company. But what really has started to make waves was his decision to pull advertising from X (formerly Twitter), and Elon Musk fired back. There has been a lot said, so we’re here to summarize what Musk has said about Iger.
Let’s talk about what the REAL magic is.
Magic Kingdom
The REAL magic (other than the lovely Cast Members in the Disney Parks) comes from the Disney World App and website. (Well, when it’s WORKING but that’s a topic for another time.) Seriously, it really IS like your own personal Genie, and we feel that a lot of Disney fans don’t use their app or the website nearly enough. Everything you need to know is located online, from reservation information, to showtimes, to wait times. However, there’s also something EXTRA helpful located on the website and app that a lot of people look right past: WARNINGS.
